Rip Curl Europe is excited to sign new talent from Germany, 19 years old Arne Bergwinkl

“With Rip Curl as my new principal sponsor I have found the perfect partner to focus on this year’s season. I started my 2014-campaign with a quarter final finish in Portugal, so I am ranked #13 in Europe now. My next goal is to make the TOP10 and solidify this Position. And then we will see what will come towards the end of the ASP Pro Juniors Tour 2014…not only for me but also for my team mates from Rip Curl: we are all hungry to show our best! In addition, I will defend my national title and work on Videoclips & new Footage. So stay tuned for more!” Explains happily Arne

Yann Martin, Rip Curl Europe’s Team Manager comments: “He is one of the most famous surfer in Germany. His last result in Espinho for the opening contest of the season was impressive. Arne is a very smart and polite young surfer. I Hope he will continue to improve his level and reach his goals on the European stage. Arne’s great approach to the sport and attitude will fit perfectly with the rest of the team and the Rip Curl values!

Best results:
