What happens when a kiteboarder, a windsurfer and a wing foiler go head-to-head in the ultimate surf showdown, with only one thing in common? Cohan Van Dijk (kiteboarder, Netherlands), Noá Cantaloupe (wing foiler, Tahiti, French Polynesia) and Pierre Mortefon (windsurfer, France) put their skills to the test in a high-stakes wave challenge. They’ll be scored on wave selection, radicality, technique and creativity, but while their talent is outstanding, the conditions are anything but predictable. Once they hit the choppy water, their fate is in nature’s hands.
