Ozone Kites Teamrider Billy Hampton showed solid surf style to take out the Mens Surf title.
James Carew showed solid surf style of his own…

“Big ups to Ewan for taking out the NKLseries freestyle – stoked that a oz won it. Definitely the best I’ve seen Ewan ride in a comp. He got a sick KGB 5 and nose grab back mobe. Marc taking out 2nd and Elliot in 3rd.” – Simon Wichtermann
Adding style makes all the difference at the top level these days and Ewan Jaspen understands this better than most!
Despite not getting the win for the Kiwis Marc Jacobs came close and definitely impressed with his 2nd place finish.
