Aruba Hi-Winds 2026 was Arxon's first PWA Youth event in the U17 category, and the PWA's report makes clear the step up was no obstacle. The U17s raced in a combined fleet with the older U21 riders, who pushed him hard throughout.
The PWA credits the result to a winter of training paying off. Thomas Michael of Curaçao took second and Faber Korevaar third.
The win opened a 2026 season that went on to include the U17 title at his home event on Bonaire.
