At north Wales’s Surf Snowdonia, the world’s first Wavegarden, Red Bull delivered a whole new format for competitive surfing: 30 minute heats, best of 5 waves, and one of the most consistent breaks on a planet (well, duh, it’s a wave pool). After four rounds of knockout, Hawaii’s Albee Layer defeated New Zealand’s Billy Stairmand 3–1, and was crowned the kind of the lagoon.
