EPIC ACTION AT THE WAVE RALLY WORLD CHAMPIONSHPS!
Geraldton delivered firing conditions this weekend as the Wave Rally World Championships lit up Coronation Beach with nonstop, high-octane action. The final provided a thrilling climax to an already spectacular event, with heartbreak for Jesper Orth, who led on the water only to be pipped at the post by local hero Anton Pain in a dramatic sprint through the sand to the finish line.
But the action in Geraldton is far from over. Next up, the Junior World Wave Championship Grand Final is all set to kick off, promising even more world-class performances. Judging by the sailing in the warm up today there are going to be fireworks once the competition commences! Stay tuned for all the latest news and highlights!
