In the men’s opening exchanges in 25 to 30 knots of breeze, Colombia’s Beto Gómez overhauls Kimo Verkerk, of the Netherlands. The Dutchman will also get a chance to fight for survival in round two.
Twenty-four men and 12 women are fighting for honours in the Big Air TwinTip division on day two of the Jericoacoara world cup. In the coming days the Hydrofoil Big Air athletes battle for the 2024 world titles, with the men’s 2024 Big Air Surfboard crown up for grabs on the final day.
