This just in; Ross Champion was on FIRE today - as in Aitch-Ayy-Double-DoubleYew-Tee. Hawwt!

Going huge and clean in the clear blue curling surf of Montelivet, France, Champion pulled off a first place win during the first round of the 2008 International Freeride Watercraft Association’s 2008 season opener.

He edged out Mark Sickering of Germany, but complete details of 3rd the place and runabout division winners are yet to be reported. I can tell you Pierre Maxient, last year’s IFWA overall World champ was knocked out early either due to mechanical issues, or from the multi-talented Federico Buffachi - again, more details to come soon. The call was a little sketchy, so please forgive..

Either way, please join us in congratulating Ross Champion on his first win of the 2008 season! The next 2 rounds will be held in Zarauts Spain over the long weekend of April 24th - 27th.
