Brian Lake and Katja Roose recorded victories at the Surf World Cup in Austria over the weekend.

Lake's two closest challengers, Julien Kerneur and Oswald Smith were absent from several races due to the changing weather conditions.

And the champion reflected on his success -

SOUNDBITE: (English) Bryan Lake, winner of Podersdorf event:

"I had a couple good races (over) the first few days and I was able to hang in there and come out on top, so yeah, I'm pumped."

Elswhere In the women's division, 2013 world champion Christine Boeninger lost out to Katja Roose from the Netherlands, who clearly enjoyed her weekend -

SOUNDBITE: (English) Katja Roose, winner of Podersdorf event:

"Oh my God, it was super, super close with the girls and we had a pretty big battle with Bibi (Bibiana Magaji) and Christine (Boenniger) so I'm super happy that I won that one."

And Roose was all smiles as she lifted the trophy on the podium.
