Salinas (Asturias, Spain) once again became the epicenter of European longboarding with the celebration of the Barreltopia Salinas Longboard Festival 2025, held from July 24 to 28. More than just a surf competition, the event brought together athletes, fans, and ocean culture lovers in a gathering that combined sport, music, and a deep sense of community. One of the festival’s most anticipated moments was the third stop of the European Longboard Tour (ETL), held from July 26 to 28, where the Open and Junior titles.

The finals, held today, unfolded in a vibrant atmosphere with high-quality waves and exceptional performances across the board. Several heats saw scores reaching or surpassing 15 points, showcasing the incredible competitive level on display.

The standout of the day was Spain’s Julieta Rodríguez-Villamil, who dominated two categories: Women’s Open and Junior Women. She posted a solid 15.80 in the Open final, and an impressive 18.17 in the Junior final—the highest score of the day. This double victory confirms her outstanding form and growing international presence, just one week after finishing runner-up at the EuroSurf 2025 in Santa Cruz (Portugal).

In the Men’s Open, the title went to Brazilian Rodrigo Sphaier, two-time ISA Longboard World Champion, after a nail-biting final against Italian Federico Nesti, with a final score of 16.84 to 16.63.

The final stop of the 2025 European Longboard Tour will take place in São Pedro do Estoril (Portugal) from November 21 to 23, promising to close the tour with the very best of European longboarding.
