schauinslandreisen Windsurf World Cup Sylt

Day 10: Amado Vrieswijk defends event title, Marine Hunter & Lennart Neubauer win maiden event & Yentel Caers officially crowned Freestyle world champion

The final day of the 2023 schauinslandreisen Windsurf World Cup Sylt, presented by got2b, saw a quiet end to proceedings with light winds greeting the competitors first thing this morning, however, with a little bit of swell left over the wave contest remained on hold until the early afternoon, but conditions remained marginal at best. 

So, with no further competition on the last day in Sylt that means that Amado Vrieswijk (Future Fly / Severne Sails) successfully defends his event title from last year, which sees the Bonairean move up to 4th in the overall rankings. Meanwhile, Marine Hunter (Quatro / KA Sail) walks away from Germany with her first victory on the 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.
