Cold Hawaii delivered a weekend to remember as the Harlem team took over the podium in some of the wildest conditions of the season.
With winds gusting up to 50 knots and waves reaching four metres, the stage was set in Klitmøller for a serious display of Big Air. When the final scores were in, Leonardo Casati stood on top, Lorenzo Casati took second and Stino Mul completed the podium in third — an all-Harlem men’s final and a historic 1–2–3 for the team.
And the success didn’t stop there. In the first-ever women’s division at Cold Hawaii Big Air, Sarah Sadek fought her way into the final and onto the podium, taking an incredible third place — on her birthday.
LEO TAKES THE WIN

Leonardo made his intentions clear early. In Round 3 against Giel Vlugt, the 17-year-old put down a 9.23 — the highest-scoring single move of the entire competition.
The final brought another Casati showdown. After facing each other at the 2025 Red Bull King of the Air and the GKA Big Air World Cup in Mykonos earlier this year, Leo and Lorenzo were battling for the top spot for the third time in under a year.
And it couldn't have been much closer.
Leo finished with 33.6 points, just 0.6 ahead of Lorenzo on 33, while Stino secured third with 30.25.
This time, Leo came out on top — adding the Cold Hawaii title to a season that has already seen him crowned 2026 GKA Big Air World Champion.

For Lorenzo, Cold Hawaii continues to be a special place. He earned his first international podium here at just 15 in 2021 and has since become a regular fixture on the podium. For Stino, third place marks his second consecutive Cold Hawaii podium, after also finishing third in 2025.
A BIRTHDAY PODIUM FOR SARAH
This year marked a milestone for the event, with Cold Hawaii hosting a women’s division for the first time ever — and Sarah Sadek made sure it was one to remember.
Facing the same powerful North Sea conditions, Sarah went all in with her signature double loops, fighting her way into the final and ultimately taking third place behind Nathalie Lambrecht and Francesca Maini.
A podium in the first-ever women’s Cold Hawaii Big Air would have been special enough. Doing it on her birthday made it even sweeter.
Happy birthday, Sarah. Not a bad way to celebrate.
Lana Herman was also in Cold Hawaii and ready to represent Harlem in the women’s division, but unfortunately a recent rib injury kept her out of the competition. She’s now focused on recovery, with Red Bull Megaloop next on the horizon. We can’t wait to see her back on the water and ready to send it again.
HARLEM IN FULL FORCE
With seven riders competing, Cold Hawaii marked Harlem’s biggest competition team to date.
Beyond the four podium finishes, Clément Huot and Martin Rahnel delivered impressive performances, riding with power, mastery and style in some of the toughest conditions of the year. Both were eventually knocked out by their own teammates: Clément by Leonardo in Round 2 and Martin by Lorenzo in Round 3.
From the opening rounds to an all-Harlem men’s final, it was a weekend that showed just how strong this team has become.
TWO BROTHERS AT THE TOP OF BIG AIR

For Leonardo and Lorenzo Casati, the result continues an extraordinary run at the top of the sport.
Lorenzo claimed the 2025 GKA Big Air World Championship, Red Bull King of the Air and Red Bull Megaloop, before 17-year-old Leonardo took the 2026 GKA Big Air World Championship in Mykonos this June, with Lorenzo finishing second.
“It was an incredible heat,” Leo said after the final. “Being in a final with my brother again, for the third time in a row, when we share every training session and every moment of the day, makes it even more special. He won the last King of the Air, now let’s see who takes the next one. Get ready, Lorenzo.”
For Lorenzo, finishing second to his younger brother came with mixed emotions:
“Of course I wanted to win, but this time my brother Leo did better than me, and if anyone other than me has to win, I want it to be him, no question. He’s the person I most want to beat, and at the same time the one I most want to see win.”
Two brothers, two World Championship titles — and a rivalry that keeps pushing both of them forward.
THE SETUP BEHIND THE RESULTS
At the centre of Harlem’s Cold Hawaii performance was the Peak, paired with the Ascent and Lead Bar — the setup trusted by the team when the conditions get serious.
Built for Big Air progression, the Peak combines explosive vertical lift and hangtime with the control, predictability and fast recovery riders need to keep pushing their level.
Its competition record speaks for itself. The Peak has powered back-to-back GKA Big Air World Championship titles, Red Bull King of the Air and Red Bull Megaloop victories — and now a complete 1–2–3 podium sweep at Cold Hawaii.
But the Peak was never designed only for podiums or pro riders.
The same control and confidence that allows the team to push at the highest level is there to help every rider progress in Big Air — from sending bigger jumps and learning first loops to breaking personal records.
Proven at the highest level. Built for every rider ready to go higher.
ONE FOR THE HISTORY BOOKS
Four podium places. An all-Harlem men’s final. Sarah on the podium in the first-ever women’s division. And Harlem’s biggest competition team to date pushing hard from the first heat to the last.
A huge congratulations to Leo, Lorenzo, Stino, Sarah, Clément, and Martin, and a massive thank you to the Cold Hawaii team for once again giving Big Air a stage worthy of the sport.
Cold Hawaii 2026. One for the history books.
