ANTOINE MARTIN: REUNION STRIKE MISSION

Instead of staying in the Canary Islands after Pozo to prepare for the PWA event in Tenerife, Antoine Martin chose a different path. He flew to Réunion Island, chasing powerful waves and perfect down-the-line conditions. The gamble paid off…after scoring epic sessions in the Indian Ocean, he returned to Tenerife and clinched an impressive 5th place finish. A true win-win mission! There are some big hits and gnarly wipe outs in this action packed edit…and fair play to the water cameramen for scoring the epic footage in those waters!

Antoine Martin: “Back at it again! I just can’t get enough of this place. I’ve managed to escape the Canary Islands windsurf summer (again 😅) to spend some time in winter here in La Réunion before heading back to Tenerife for the World Cup 5 star.

Honestly, I’m super addicted to this place.. 4 trips in just 3 summers says it all. The conditions, the energy, the whole vibe here… it just keeps pulling me back! This time, I finally had the chance to fully focus on adapting to my gear. With the tight contest schedule, I never really had the time to work on it before. Step by step I’m starting to get a good feeling with my new equipment and it’s making every session even better.
