Tommy Borgi, 14, won the U16 Boys world title at the 2026 GKA Youth Twintip World Championships. The event in St. Peter-Ording, Germany, featured 61 young riders from 18 nations. Borgi rode an Ozone Vortex V2 12m² for most of the competition, switching to an Ozone Mach1 13m² for the final. The new championship format combined Big Air, Airstyle, and Freestyle disciplines. Borgi's victory marks a rapid progression in his kitesurfing career. Maja Ceran achieved second place in the U19 Girls division at the same event. Ceran navigated difficult North Sea conditions to secure her podium finish, gaining valuable experience in freestyle during strong winds. Her performance highlights her ability to adapt and compete at a high level. Borgi aims to compete in the King of the Air next. Both riders demonstrated strong performances in varied conditions.
