The new year starts with a bang for the the former Wave windsurfing World Champion and Red Bull Storm Chase winner Thomas Traversa. He rides the powerful swell in Brittany, which got created by the big storm Goretti at the beginning of January 2026. On January 9th the wind and waves were on fire and Thomas enjoyed hitting lips at their steepest sections. He landed big Aerials off teh lip, frontside Wave 360s or even tried Goiters. Here’s the great video produced by StefVideo & Westdrone.
