Another great result for UK snowboarding as 15 year old Lannig "Lon" Canu (SCUK:Bodge) took first place at the Rossignol Airtour Final in La Clusaz over the weekend.

Lon, who rides for Never Summer Snowboards had previously qualified at the La Plagne leg of the contest in January, finishing in 3rd and was eager to replicate this success with another podium place in the final. Lon said:

"I was lucky enough to have a few days training beforehand in Le Grand Bornand, which is my favourite park, and was well up for the final. But I wasn't expecting 1st place, so I'm chuffed to bits. I can't wait for the Brits now..."

Lon was accompanied by his freeskier buddy Harry Hancock, who'd also qualified for the final, and were the only 2 UK riders taking part. Harry finished 8th overall.

Congratulations to both of them from SCUK.
