by | Sep 12, 2024 | Riversurf Jam Thun | 0 comments

The River Surf Jam in Thun transformed the city’s old town into a buzzing surf hotspot, with 38 riders battling it out on the Aare River’s famous wave at the Mühleschleuse. With the sun shining and the crowd cheering, this third stop of the Edelweiss Surf Tour delivered high-energy action and unforgettable moments.

Taking the top spots were Vincent Schneider from Zurich in the Men’s division and local talent Anna Lemann from Bern in the Women’s division. Lemann successfully defended her title on her home wave, while in the Junior Division, Thierry Meier from Oberhofen was crowned RiverSurfJam Champion. Meier also impressively claimed second place in the Men’s division, showcasing the rising talent among young surfers.

Beyond the surf competition, the Surfers’ Village at Waisenhausplatz offered a perfect mix of relaxation and good vibes. With live music from Al-Berto and the Fried Bikinis, various stands, and a laid-back atmosphere, it was the ideal place for both surfers and spectators to soak in the summer sun. The event struck the perfect balance between adrenaline-filled surf action and a chill festival vibe.

As the day rolled into the evening, the fun continued with the Vibes Party, where the surf community celebrated late into the night, wrapping up an unforgettable day in Thun.

With only one more stop on the Edelweiss Surf Tour, this event was a key moment for surfers to secure crucial points before the final showdown at the Alaïa Bay Open on November 2-3, where the overall champions will be crowned. Thun’s surf scene is buzzing, and this year’s River Surf Jam will be one for the books!
