Nico von Lerchenfeld did it. As the first athlete in the world he rode the artificial waves of a wave pool. In the surf park, Surf Snowdonia, he shot an action clip – despite adverse circumstances: first a crash and a cut at the head, then almost the whole team got sick. But here it is: the FIRST wakeboard edit from a wave pool or surf park. It’s a wakeboard world premiere!
“We are very glad to unveil our latest personal project in a very special place. We’ve shared a 2 week roadtrip in Scotland with Seb and Coralie, our great kitesurfer friends, who enjoy practicing mostly on strapless kitefoil.
Packed up and ready from Geneva to Edinburgh, we brought our drone and they brought their foils and the will to explore. Luckily it didn’t rain that much and we found amazing spots. We are so grateful for the beautiful landscapes Scotland offered us, it was without a doubt an unforgettable journey. ” – Yvon Labarthe
