North Carolina Family Dominates Motosurfing Ahead of World Games

The World of Motosurfing

• ⚡ Motosurfing involves riders on motorized surfboards controlling their speed and direction with a handheld device, reaching speeds up to 40 mph.
• 🗺️ Unlike traditional surfing, riders don't need waves and can race on a course marked by buoys, similar to a go-kart track on water.

A Family Affair on the Water

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Squire family, including Anthony, Anna, and Anna's father Tid, are a world-class motosurfing squad training on Lake Norman.
• 🏆 Anthony Squire is ranked third in the world for the past two years and is currently number one in 2025.
• 🥇 Anna Burke is the fastest female in America and aims to be the fastest woman in North America.
• 🥈 Tid, Anna's father, is the nation's second fastest man.

Preparing for the World Games

• 🇨🇳 This family team will represent the US team at the World Games in Changdu, China, where motosurfing is a new motorized sport.
• 🎯 Anna, weighing under 90 lbs, finds her weight advantageous on straightaways but a challenge when navigating buoys.
• ⏱️ The family emphasizes that perfection is crucial, as even a half-second mistake can end qualifying chances.
• 🌊 Their training on Lake Norman's twists and turns prepares them for the global competition.
