NIA SUARDIAZ TAKING WORLD TITLES IN BRAZIL!

The 2023 GWA Wing Foil World Tour season could not have ended better than this! Nia Suardiaz, who officially secured the GWA FreeFly-Slalom and Surf-Freestyle World titles earlier this year, clinched yet another decisive victory in FreeFly-Slalom and secured a 2nd place in Freestyle at the final event in Brazil, sealing the deal on an exceptional season! 

The Suardiaz/Muenzinger family lives in Tarifa, Southern Spain, just five minutes away from the water. At the age of four, she already stood on a Windsurfing board, which she liked a lot, but was never really "hooked" on it. She probably would still be Windsurfing today if she hadn't taken a Wing Foiling course with a friend!

Last year Nia had her first World Cup victory at the age of 15 – after only about just over a year of Wing Foiling. This year she is still only 16 years old and finished the season two World Champion and two Vice World Champion titles!

But how is that possible in such a short time and at that young age? We caught up with Nia to find out a bit more about that young German/Spanish superstar.

"I am very happy to end the season like this. With countless hours of training, lots of competitions and, above all, enjoying this amazing sport. Thanks for the unwavering support from my family, friends and sponsors, and my determination to push boundaries. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has been a part of this journey, and i look forward to continuing to strive for excellence in the challenges that lie ahead!"

At only 16 years of age, Nia Suardiaz is GWA World Champion in Surf-Freestyle & FreeFly-Slalom, GWA Wave Vice World Champion (where her team mate Wesley Brito clinched the World Title in the men´s fleet) and Big Air Vice World Champion. What a star and way to go!

We celebrate this success with gratitude for Nia's hard work and commitment - here's to the thrill of victory and the many more to come!
