CWSA Wakesurf World Championship Geneva 2024

After numerous competitions around the world, the Wakesurf World Championship was finally held in Europe, specifically in Geneva, Switzerland.

The world’s best riders had gathered on Lake Geneva, more precisely at Tropical Corner, to battle it out on the superb wave of the Centurion Ri245.

You had to be among the top eight in each category to receive an invitation to the CWSA Wakesurf World Championship Geneva 2024. The most talented athletes, from the USA, Japan, Korea, Russia, France and of course Switzerland, were present.

Representing Black Revolt, we had the cream of European riders: Olivier Scokaert, Julien Prudencio, Jeff DeGiacomi, Tatiana Bosshard, Matia Erba, and Alain Viviand. The only one missing was Jennifer Edwards, who was unable to attend due to the birth of her son, William.

In Pro Skim, our Franco-Belgian rider Olivier Scokaert won by a wide margin over American rider Landen Poplawski. In Pro Surf, Julien Prudencio finished in 5th place after a run in challenging conditions.

In Amateur Skim, Jeff Degiacomi won the World Championship title, as well as Tatiana Bosshard in Female Master Surf — a big congratulations to both of them for their performances!

In Amateur Surf, Matia Erba, our rider from Ticino, finished in 3rd place, and in Amateur Skim, Adina Vetch finished in 6th place with her Stiletto.

In Master Surf, Alain Viviand missed the podium by a few points, finishing in 4th place, and in Master Surf Women, Ludivine Duboulay finished in 5th place, while our friend Marine Schmidt finished the event in 9th position.

This is the brand’s most impressive record ever achieved at a World Championship: 3 World Championship titles, one 3rd place, one 4th place, and two 5th places. The small brand, born on the shores of Lake Annecy, has earned its place on the most prestigious podiums through perseverance and hard work. A huge congratulations to all the riders and friends who support Black Revolt!

Congratulations to Joan and the entire GVA Wakesurf Tour team for finally bringing the Wakesurf World Championship to Europe! It was a first, and the gamble paid off handsomely.

Thank you to the Geneva Nautical Society for hosting and partially funding the event, and to Cention Boat Switzerland for providing the boats.

We hope to see an event of this caliber back in Europe very soon! The next CWSA Worlds will take place in 2025 in the USA and in 2026 in Japan.

2024 CWSA European Wakesurf Championship

It was the return to the magnificent Lake Annecy for the 2024 CWSA Wakesurf European Championship after the great edition last year on Lake Morat in Switzerland. More than sixty riders from 9 different countries had responded to the meeting on September 7 and 8, 2024. Thanks to Ski Wake 74 and Wakeboat Service, the new importer Centurion boats France, for taking the initiative to host this event. It was therefore on a Centurion ri230 that the competition took place. The weather was perfect on Saturday but it deteriorated for the finals on Sunday, which took place under the rain for the most part.

Once again the Black Revolt Wakesurf athletes distinguished themselves by their performance during this competition. In Men Pro Skim it was Olivier Scokaert who won the title and in Men Pro Surf it was our rider Julien Prudencio who won ahead of 2 Russian riders and a German. Unfortunately Jennifer Edwards was not present to defend her title in Female Pro Skim. In Master Female Surf it was Tatiana Bosshard who retained her title while Alain Viviand had to settle for a 2nd place in Master Men Surf. In Amateur Men Surf it was Matia Erba our rider from Ticino who won and in Amateur Men Skim it was Jeff Degiacomi who was well ahead of Gianmarco Panacionne, both with the Black Revolt Spoon. Congratulations to Nina Traeger for her 2nd place in Amateur Female Skim and to Adina Vetsch for her 4th place.

Big congratulations to all the riders for their rides despite wet conditions during the finals. Thank to Centurion boat France and Skiwake 74 for the organization as well as Samar from the CWSA and all the judges of the event without whom nothing would be possible. Thanks also to the boat pilots. We will see you all at the CWSA World Championships in Geneva at the beginning of October.

CWSA European Wakesurf Championship 2023

What a great weekend at the 2023 CWSA European Wakesurf Championship in Le Praz, Switzerland. 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝗪𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟 has collected 5 European championship titles… Not bad for a small French brand made by hand.

It was the weekend of August 19 and 20 on Lake Murten in Switzerland that these European Wakesurf Championships took place. This event was organized by Tatiana from the Beesurf wake club.

The competition boat was the Centurion Ri230, a sure bet in terms of wave quality. More than fifty European riders were present for this occasion from around ten different countries.

The main categories are obviously the 4 divisions Pro skim and Pro surf and of course our riders outdid themselves. It was Jennifer Edwards (UK) who won the Female pro Skim category hands down with more than 10 points ahead of 2nd. In Male Pro Skim it was Olivier Scokaert (Bel) who also won with an extremely technical run perfectly executed. Olivier also finished 3rd in Male Pro Surf even though he never rides surfboards.

In Master female surfing it is our ambassador Tatiana Bosshard (Sui) who wins while in Male Surfing it is Alain Viviand (Fr). Both of them won the European champion titles with their Hammer Surf. Finally in Amateur female skim it was Adina Vetsch (Sui) who finished on 1st place on the podium with her Stiletto Pro carbon. David Millet finished 3rd in Master male skim.

Congratulations to all the riders for the great runs at the 2023 CWSA European Wakesurf Championship. A big thank you to Tatiana from Bee Surf and Luc from Centurion Boats Switzerland and their teams for organizing this event. Thanks also to Samar and John from the CWSA, the judges, Laurent and the team at the Hôtel Bel Air et la Cambuse for hosting the event and to all the sponsors/partners who made this event a success. We hope for an equally successful 2024 edition!
