The champions were crowned in Playa Somo!

From exciting heats in the Atlantic to changing weather conditions that kept everyone on their toes, this year’s Swiss Champs had it all. Storms and strong winds made it challenging to complete the competition as planned, pushing the event into an extra day before all champions could finally be crowned.

But the Swiss Champs have always been about more than the results. It’s about bringing the Swiss surfing community together, sharing waves, supporting each other and creating memories both in and out of the water.

Congratulations to all our new Swiss Champions and everyone who paddled out this week. Whether it was your first competition or another year chasing a title, you were part of what makes this event special.

A huge thank you to our community

A week like this doesn’t happen without the people behind it. A huge thank you to every athlete, coach, family member, volunteer, judge, supporter and friend who made the trip to Somo and contributed to the event.

Thank you to everyone who came down to the beach, cheered from the sand, helped out behind the scenes, shared waves and brought the energy even when the weather didn’t play along. And of course, thank you to our partners and sponsors for making the Swiss Champs possible.

Seeing everyone come together year after year is what makes this week so special.

Until next year 🌊

Aloha from the Alps,
Swiss Surfing
