Aloha Classic, Maui, Hawaii, 2024

L'Aloha Classic 2024 si è conclusa ieri. Non so quanti abbiano visto il live streaming dell'ultimo giorno . Io l'ho visto fino alle 11,30 GMT, poi sono andato a dormire.
Oggi, vedrò la parte finale per godermi lo spettacolo.
L'evento è stato vinto da Bernd Rodiger (meritatamente, e con punteggi stratosferici nelle heat), nella categoria PRO Men, e da Sarah Hauser nella categoria Pro Women
I risultati delle heats li trovate qui:  liveheats.com/events/187569
Nella categoria pro Junior Boys, Liam Dunkerbeck si è aggiudicato il successo. Ma non solo. Liam è arrivato anche fino alla finale Pro Men, posizionandosi al 3° posto, davanti ad un mostro sacro come Camille Juban.
Probabilmente, è nata una stella.
Il livello della competizione è stato altissimo, ed andrebbero citati anche molti altri riders, tra cui Kai Lenny, Levi Siver, Morgan Noireaux, ed il giapponese Takuma Sugi.
Keith Taboul si è aggiudicato la categoria Masters, davanti a Francisco Goya. Michael Friedl, si è aggiudicato il Tour mondiale 2024.

Con questo evento si chiude il PWA-IWT wave tour 2024, vinto da Marcilio Browne, nella categoria Pro Men, e dall'inossidabile Sara Offringa, nella categoria Pro Women.

E' stato davvero un bello spettacolo!


The 2024 Aloha Classic ended yesterday. I don't know how many watched the live stream of the last day . I watched it until 11:30 GMT, then went to sleep.
Today, I will watch the final part to enjoy the show.
The event was won by Bernd Rodiger (deservedly, and with stratospheric scores in the final heats), in the PRO Men category, and by Sarah Hauser, in the Pro Women category

In the Pro Junior Boys category, Liam Dunkerbeck took the win. But not only that. Liam also made it to the Pro Men final, placing 3rd, ahead of a sacred monster like Camille Juban.
Probably, a star is born.
The level of competition was very high, and many other riders should also be mentioned, including Kai Lenny, Levi Siver, Morgan Noireaux, and the Japanese Takuma Sugi.
Keith Taboul won the Masters category, ahead of Francisco Goya. Michael Friedl, won the 2024 World Tour.

With this event the 2024 PWA-IWT wave tour ends, won by Marcilio Browne, in the Pro Men category, and by the tireless Sara Offringa, in the Pro Women category.

It was really a great show!
