Hugo Wigglesworth
Hugo’s passion for progression has already led to some remarkable milestones. In 2025, he won the Hydrofoil Big Air World Championship and later became the first athlete ever to break the 40-metre barrier on WOO with a jump of exactly 40.0 metres. As one of the sport’s most exciting young talents, he continues to push the boundaries of Big Air on both twintip and hydrofoil.
