In December 2021, WavePoolMag had the pleasure of covering the very first Winter Cup at Alaïa Bay, a unique event set against a picturesque snowy backdrop that celebrated the thrill of winter surfing in Switzerland. Since that memorable occasion, the landscape of competitive surfing has expanded significantly, with a variety of contests sprouting up, from local TGSA events in Waco to Rip Curl Grom competitions held globally. Europe has fully embraced this exciting format, leading to the establishment of the Wavepool Surf Tour, which recently crowned its inaugural champions.
