Sion, Switzerland \u2013 Despite some minor global challenges, the Ala\u00efa Open Winter Cup is happening this weekend, and the warm-up sessions start tomorrow, 3 December 2021. Surfers from all over Switzerland and various hubs worldwide have begun arriving at Ala\u00efa Bay. The wave pool is steaming with all the red-hot talent warming up for the event.<\/p>\n

The Ala\u00efa Open Winter Cup is the first major event at Ala\u00efa Bay, and there is US$75,000 up for grabs in prizes and cash for those surfers who excel in this event.<\/p>\n

During the surfing event, Ala\u00efa Bay is hosting the Saturday Evening Party. This party will be hosted by Lunarts, the makers of WooMoon and StoryTellers \u2013 with an eight-hour showcase direct from Ibiza.<\/p>\n

Despite the party on Saturday night, the Ala\u00efa Open Winter Cup is a hardcore surf event. The temperatures in Switzerland are fresh, and there is even a chance of snow on the final day. Current weather in Sion HERE.<\/p>\n

The Ala\u00efa Bay competition qualifications on Saturday 4 December will have a unique format, ideally suited to the workings of the wavepool. First, surfers get to choose their best option, be it a left or a right-breaking wave. Then, each surfer gets a one-hour session with others in which to showcase their skills. After that hour, top scores will be tallied.<\/p>\n

At the end of the first day, the top riders will advance to the final day. The format for the finals day will be the standard competition format as per ISA rules. Contest Director is a Swiss-born surfer, Swiss Surfing Association’s Dario M\u00fcller.<\/p>\n
