Surfing: Nations Trophy Halbergmoos

Germany beats Spain

O₂ Surftown MUC features an 180-meter-long pool with waves that last up to 25 seconds. Last weekend, the Nations Trophy surfing competition took place at the surf pool in Halbergmoos.

32 athletes from eight countries, including France and Spain, competed. Two men and two women competed on each national team. Representing Germany were Leon Glatzer, Janina Zeitler, Dylan Groen, and Camilla Kemp.

While Spain won the competition last year, this time the victory went to the German team. Even before the event, Olympic surfer Leon Glatzer had spoken of “raw nerves” within the team—they were in a solid position, but under pressure. In the end, it was Glatzer himself who delivered the decisive moment: a controlled straight air in the Air Right section, which pushed the final score to 5–2 and secured the trophy for Team Germany.
