Speaking about the performance Team Manager, Jeremy Nevill, quoted:
20 British Riders attended the amazing 2024 IWWF Euros in Toutainville, France and had a fantastic week on the water. The Club Nautique de Toutainville gave a warm welcome to the British Team (30+ strong) and put on a first class wakeboard event alongside the IWWF competition crew. Our best GB team result in many years was made even better with 3 medals from squad athletes Marley, Kate and Ross.Weather conditions for the event were excellent, and the Malibu 23MXZ wake provided a perfect canvas for the best in Europe to compete.
