SurferToday.com has announced the standout riders of the year 2010. The selection of the best surfer, kitesurfer, windsurfer and bodyboarder was a very hard task in this 12-month period.
A lot of challenges have successfully been conquered by many athletes, showing cutting edge performances in our wave and wind water sports.
SurferToday’s "Athletes Of The Year 2010" are:
|

SURFING Kelly Slater He is surfing better than ever. With Mr. Slater, this statement is valid every year. The Floridian surfer and artificial wave entrepreneur has conquered his 10th world surfing title. Who will defy his perseverance?

KITEBOARDING Rob Douglas “Veni, vidi, vici”. He trained, he kept out of the news and he stormed the 2010 Luderitz Speed Challenge. Let’s put it this way: Douglas is fastest sailor on Earth. |

WINDSURFING Antoine Albeau Title after title, challenge after challenge. The French bullet has had another extraordinary year by winning big and small events. What’s next for the windsurfing star?
