Amado Vrieswijk verteidigt Event-Titel, Marine Hunter & Lennart Neubauer gewinnen ersten Event & Yentel Caers offiziell zum Freestyle-Weltmeister gekrönt
Der letzte Tag des 2023 schauinslandreisen Windsurf World Cup Sylt, presented by got2b, sah ein ruhiges Ende mit leichtem Wind, der die Teilnehmer heute Morgen begrüßte. Mit ein wenig übrig gebliebenem Swell wurde der Wave Contest bis zum frühen Nachmittag auf Eis gelegt, aber die Bedingungen blieben bestenfalls marginal.
Da es am letzten Tag in Sylt keine weiteren Wettkämpfe gab, bedeutet dies, dass Amado Vrieswijk (Future Fly / Severne Sails) seinen Titel aus dem letzten Jahr erfolgreich verteidigen konnte, wodurch der Bonaier in der Gesamtwertung auf Platz 4 vorrückte. Marine Hunter (Quatro / KA Sail) verlässt Deutschland mit ihrem ersten Sieg auf der World Tour.
In terms of the overall world rankings, nothing really changes in the Men’s and Women’s Wave with Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Ricardo Campello (Naish / Naish Sails) continuing to lead heading into the final event on the year in Maui, Hawaii, later in October. However, in the Men’s Slalom, Maciek Rutkowski (FMX Racing / Challenger Sails) continues to lead, but he is now joined at the top of the rankings by Matteo Iachino (Starboard / Severne Sails) on 30,300 points after the Italian finished second here.
Meanwhile, Pierre Mortefon (Duotone / Duotone Sails / Phantom Foils) and Johan Søe (FMX Racing / Point-7) are just a further 100 points further back, so the world title decider in Japan promises to be a thrilling affair, whilst Amado Vrieswijk still has an outside chance on 30,000 points.
Unfortunately, the weather didn’t really play ball for the official prize giving ceremony at 3pm, but there was still a solid turnout from the local crowd as they watched the respective event champions crowned, whilst Yentel Caers (JP / NeilPryde) was officially crowned Freestyle World Champion for the second time in his career. 17-year-old Takumi Moriya (Severne / Severne Sails) was also awarded his Youth Freestyle world title - after finishing in an excellent 14th place overall on his first year on tour.
That concludes another action packed 10 here in Sylt and we’ll be back with a full roundup in the Event Summary early next week.
