IFWA Announces 2 stops for the
2022 IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour

The IFWA, International Freeride Watercraft Association, is proud to announce the
2022 IFWA Freeride World Championship Tour. The IFWA World Tour features the
world’s best Freeride Jet Ski athletes battling it out head to head in beautiful surf
locations and sharing the freeride spirit around the world.
Freeride Portugal will again host the first stop on the 2022 IFWA World Tour at Praia
da Aria Branca Portugal May 6-8. Pilots will be competing in the stunning Atlantic surf
for points on the IFWA World Tour and the European Championship. Before the Covid
shutdown, the 2019 Freeride Portugal event did not disappoint with pumping surf
conditions and the amazing Portuguese hospitality. We are excited for the first stop on
this year’s tour.
A new US location, Grayland Washington, will host the 2nd round of the 2022 IFWA
Freeride World Championship Tour as the USA stop. The Grayland Open, August 19.
21,will bring a festival type atmosphere to this charming beach community and offer an
ideal location to showcase these athletes’ skills. The Grayland Open began as a grass
roots event in 2009 and featured both up and coming riders and well seasoned pros.
This year, the IFWA will be working with long time event promoter and creator of the
Grayland Open, Dan Lindgen, to bring this world-class event to the next level.
Competitors will be vying for not only the IFWA US Title but also points and title for the
IFWA Freeride World Championship. Titles and awards will also be given for US
Amateur and US Rookie Championship.
The IFWA is working with our partners to organize a 3rd stop for the 2023 IFWA
Freeride World Tour. More details to be announced soon.
