PRESENTATION AND BRIEFING FOR GRAN CANARIA FRONTÓN KING 2025

Saturday, October 11, Gáldar, Gran Canaria, Spain. The wait period has officially started for the last event of the IBC World Tour, where the world titles will be decided in the Men’s and Junior Men’s divisions. This is a fantastic show that takes place at one of the best waves on the planet for bodyboarding, El Frontón, also known as “the beast,” located in Gáldar, Gran Canaria.

In the Junior Men’s division, the Grand Final will feature 48 qualifiers from the Rising Series events held in Morocco, Chile, Australia, and Spain. This season, the IBC has introduced a new format that reduces costs and travel for juniors, allowing them to focus more on their studies. At El Frontón, all 48 athletes will have a shot at the title, as everyone starts in round 1, and the winner of the Gran Canaria Frontón King will be the new Junior Men’s World Champion of the IBC World Tour 2025.

The Gran Canaria Frontón King continues to impress with pioneering alternatives in this sport. This year, for the first time in bodyboarding history, the organization has designed exclusive rash guards featuring the names of the athletes currently in the world top 16—a novelty that the riders have received with great enthusiasm and motivation, as this has never been done before.

After the swag bag distribution and the competition and safety briefing, a group photo was taken followed by a check-in to determine if the competition would kick off today. The technical committee decided to give the competitors a day off since the wave conditions weren’t suitable for the event. They informed everyone that better waves are on the way and reminded athletes and fans to stay tuned for the next call, as we eagerly anticipate the awakening of the beast for the best bodyboarding show in the world. The day wrapped up with the Corona Sunset and live music at the most beautiful sunset in Gran Canaria, which hundreds of fans enjoyed at this stunning coastline in Gáldar.

You can follow the event LIVE, as well as catch all the content through various social media channels and the official IBC
