Four Seasons Maldives resort unveils lineup for Surfing Champions Trophy

Wednesday, 06 Aug, 2024 0

The full lineup has been announced for the ‘world’s most luxurious surfing event’ in the Maldives.

The Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy field has been completed with the inclusion of Frenchman Jeremy Flores, Brazil’s Jadson Andre, and Maldivian Ahmed “Ammaday” Agil.

They join five-time Hawaiian world champion Carissa Moore, Australian Olympic medallist Owen Wright, and South African Mikey February at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa .

This year the Four Seasons Maldives Surfing Champions Trophy will run from 28 August to 5 September at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa.

Heat times are staggered by age, with the oldest surfers allowed more time in the water than their younger competitors, with US$25,000 prize money across the various divisions.

“I’ve watched this event for a long time, hoping to get an invite because it looks so fun, and now I’m finally doing it,” Jeremy Flores said.

Rated the greatest European surfer of all time, Flores is currently in Tahiti coaching the French Olympic team.

“For twelve years, Kuda Huraa’s Surfing Champions Trophy has been shining a spotlight on the Maldives’ perfect waves,” said Didier Jardin, General Manager at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa.

“The event’s reputation now precedes it and it’s great to hear how surfing legends can’t wait to compete here. We’re delighted to once again be welcoming an incredible line-up of talent.”

The Maldives resort offers a range of luxury accommodations from tropical garden bungalows and overwater specialty suites with pools.
