The Europe & Africa Wakeboard Championships take place in Deltebre in the Spanish province of Tarragona next week.

Seventeen riders of all ages, accompanied by a Team Manager, will be there. Practice sessions begin on 13 October with the competition rounds from 15 to 18 October.

Among those in the GB team are brother and sister, Charlie and Isabelle Lloyd, who train at Cliff Lakes in Tamworth. Although still only aged 17 and 15 respectively, they are seasoned international competitors. Both represented their country at the World Championships in 2022 and at two previous Euros – in 2023 and 2024.
