Marc Paré Takes the World Champion Crown

In a season full of highs, nothing topped Marc Paré securing the 2025 Wave World Title on Maui, an achievement that crowns a journey of relentless dedication shown throughout his entire career. This victory represents the pinnacle of Marc’s lifetime’s work, built on years of commitment, hard work, and an unparalleled attention to detail when it comes to his equipment.

Marc’s performance across the 2025 season was nothing short of legendary. From a hard-fought second place in Chile, to back-to-back victories in Tenerife and Sylt, he proved his mastery in every possible condition; from down-the-line Tropocalma to 40-knot, dead-onshore battles in Sylt.

A true World Champion!

Mr. Style Defined – Moritz Mauch

Moritz Mauch had an outstanding 2025 season, reaching the quarter-finals in Pozo and Tenerife and the semi-final in Sylt, relying solely on his impressive wave scores. Known for his radical yet relaxed wave-riding style, Moritz earned one of the highest wave scores at the Pozo event with 14.96 points in a single heat. Recognized as one of the best  port tack wave riders on tour, he continues to push the limits and impress with every ride.

The Kolb Gonzalez Brothers

We are extremely proud of Yannik and Dennis Kolb Gonzalez, who claimed victory in the U15 and U13 divisions in Pozo. Yannik delivered a standout performance, landing perfect backloops and throwing down powerful wave rides to secure the top spot on the podium. His younger brother Dennis followed his lead, taking the win in the U13s with an impressive bag of tricks already under his belt.

The future looks bright for these talented young rippers. Next up is the youngest Kolb Gonzalez brother—Eric. With talent clearly running in the family, it’s only a matter of time before he joins his brothers on the podium. Keep an eye out for these rising stars.
