The long awaited August has finally arrived and with it comes the first international competitions of the European Qualifying Series Tour 2023/2024.
This year's QS Season has started in Fistral Beach, Newquay, England, in the Boardmasters Festival, a legendary surf competition that, since 1981 has attracted the biggest names in the history of surfing, such as Tom Carroll, Martin Potter, Tom Curren and even Kelly Slater.
WSL has made its return this year to the Cornish Coast with the Animal Pro QS 1000 which has allowed the best UK and International surfers to go head to head in the country´s biggest surf competition.
Janina Zeitler was no exception and definitely made her presence be felt in this year's Boardmasters by putting an incredible performance which has surely left any German surf enthusiast proud, having been one of the highlights of the event by getting one of the highest scores of the entire competition for a single manoeuvre, a 7 point ride on a big frontside snap straight off the lip that has definitely raised a lot of eyebrows for a very promising season ahead of the inspiring surfer from Munich, Germany.
Janina Zeitler moves now to the next competition on the 9th place in the European QS Ranking, which will be taking place already this week, between the 15th and the 20th of August, in the beautiful beach breaks of Lacanau-Ocean, France, for the Caraibos Lacanau Pro 2023 QS 1000.
Having started her surf career in the Eisbach, a famous rapid wave sitting in the middle of Munich, Janina Zeitler is currently the only female surfer born and raised in Germany competing in this years European QS Tour 2023/2024, with her goals for this year being to keep opening this brand new path for other surfers from Germany and/or any other landlocked countries to follow and to through her journey inspire people from all over the world to follow their dreams, whilst aiming to improve in her previous years ranking, keeping her eyes on being given an opportunity to represent her nation in the upcoming ISA World Surfing Games.
