World Titles will be decided in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria once again as the World’s best will congregate to do battle
There is an illustrious list of Champions that have been crowned in Las Palmas over the past 4 editions, as we will witness an even more impressive field than ever present at this year’s Gran Canaria Pro-Am. Established legends are set to clash with young guns that are looking to make their presence felt and earn their stripes on tour as we build up to an exciting showdown to wrap the 2024 Season.
In particular watch out for reigning World Champions Luis Diniz from Brazil and Iballa Moreno from right here in Gran Canaria. Both were in formidable form last year and will be looking to retain their respective titles in 2024.
However, this will not be without a real fight, as the most impressive line up of challengers yet will be coming to do battle, from the Brazilian storm of the Salazar family, Wellington Reis and Leonardo Gimenes, to the new wave of Japanese talent in the form of the Inoue family and Junior champion Kapono Fukuda, the field will be stacked.
Others to watch out for in particular are Luchy Cosoleto from Argentina, 2022 World Champion Benoit Carpentier, fellow Frenchman Clement Roseyro, Juan de los Reyes from Spain and of course the hard charger Sebastian Gomez from Peru. In the Women’s division, you can also never count out Aline Adisaka from Brazil, but also rising star from France, particularly in the longboard SUP division, Camille Dubrana.
The 2024 Gran Canaria Pro-Am will provide an important stepping stone to what is lining up to be a dynamic line up of events for 2025
This year’s Gran Canaria Pro-Am will not only be an exciting way to close the season in style and crown the 2024 World Champions, but it will also serve as a vital stepping stone to what will be a considerably built out 2025 season, with a full series of events that will provide an exciting global platform for the World’s Best.
