JP boards win the Aloha Classic – again and again and again…
4 out of the latest 5 Aloha Classic events were taken by riders on shapes from Werner Gnigler.
This year it was Antoine Martin who managed to take the title of the most prestigious down-the-line wave sailing event in the world. The waves were massive and Titoun sailed flawless with style, linking turn after turn on one wave and throwing in aerials or 360. He really was milking the waves.
The shape of the ULTIMATE WAVE contributed to the riding flow which helped all the JP pros to progress.
Morgan Noireaux managed to take the Aloha Classic title already three times on the predecessor, the RADICAL QUAD.
And in 2019 Morgan Noireaux achieved the highest heat score of this event on the ULTIMATE WAVE.
Overall, Werner Gnigler keeps providing true down-the-line wave shapes – which also work great for every advanced wave sailor.
