Quiksilver è fiera di annunciare che Leonardo Fioravanti, a soli 14 anni, ha conquistato ieri il Titolo Under 16, durante il prestigioso contest Skullcandy Oz Grom Open di Lennox Head, in Australia.

Dopo essersi classificato al terzo posto al Occy Grom Comp di Duranbah Beach appena la scorsa settimana, il rider del team Quiksilver ha dimostrato il suo incredibile talento, surfando da atleta esperto in sfida tra i migliori giovani surfer provenienti da tutto il mondo, portando ancora una volta i colori dell’Italia in vetta al podio, e proprio nella patria del surf !

Nella fase finale della gara, su onde di 1/1.5 metri, Leo ha totalizzato un punteggio di 17.25 su 20, battendo il local Mikey Wright, classificatosi al secondo posto con un punteggio di 15.05.

Prossimo appuntamento per Leo Fioravanti sarà la finale europea del Quiksilver King of the Groms, in programma dal 24 al 26 Agosto a Ericeira, in Portogallo.

Quiksilver's Leo Fioravanti (17.25) has defeated Mikey Wright (15.05) in the Blue ribbon U/16 event that has just wrapped up at Lennox Head.

Leo has been staying with Mikey but had to put their friendship aside and dual it out in the testing 2-3ft windy conditions. They were both the standouts of the event and well deserved result for the both of them.

Quiksilver had the Lennox Local, Zac Wightman in the final  of the U/14's who struggled to find a wave to peel off for him and had to settle for 4th place. Zac nailed the best air of the event in his quarter final and was happy to mix up some power surfing with some spins and aerials.

Ethan Ewing did a come from behind win posting the contests biggest score of the event, 9.90 to take the win

Quiksilver dominated the U/12 division with Kehu Butler(NZ) winning over Dextar Muskens. We also had Billy Harrison end up equal 5th and can happily say we have 3 of the best groms coming through this division.

There was only one division , U/16 for the girls and Alyssa Lock finished equal 5th against girls 4-5 years older than her.
