• Brämzgi River Jam – Unfortunately, this stop had to be canceled due to low water levels. Sometimes, nature has its own plans.

Jade Magnien, Franklin Serpa Ferreira Correia, Antoine Habashi, and Fabiana Klein showcased their exceptional surf skills in the Women’s, Men’s, Junior Boys, and Junior Girls categories, adding an epic finish to the tour.
