Gran Canaria PWA Windsurfing Grand Slam

July 6, 2023 Created by Chris Yates

Day 6: The next generation take centre stage for the first time this week

After patiently waiting the next generation of wave sailors were given their opportunity to shine on Day 6 of the Gran Canaria PWA Windsurfing Grand Slam and they did extremely well to make the tricky conditions look better than they really were. With winds of 25-35 knots and only knee high waves the next generation were still able to show off an impressive variety consisting of; double forwards, stalled forwards, backloops tabletops and pushloops, whilst results were gained in the U20 and U17 Girl’s, as well as the U17 and U15 Boy’s divisions.

Wave

Girl’s U20

Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Fanatic / Duotone) had to come through the repechage round to earn herself a place in the final alongside Isabel Triviño Delgado (Severne / Severne Sails) and Maria Morales Navarro (Goya Windsurfing), who had earlier won their opening heats. There was no stopping Kiefer Quintana in the final though as she landed a solid backloop and forward loop, whilst she linked together the highest scoring wave of the final too to claim a decisive win. Triviño Delgado claimed second place just ahead of Morales Navarro, who completes the podium.

Girl’s U17

Sol Degrieck (Severne / Severne Sails) claimed a clear cut victory in the Girl’s U17 division as the 13-year-old dominated all three finals with a combination of forward loops and snappy wave riding. Annagiulia Piccaglia secured second place just ahead of Lizzlotte Schilling Andrew (Angulo / Duotone), who takes home third. The two girl’s were tied after a second and a third place in the first two finals, but Piccaglia was able to win the last battle.

Boy’s U17

In the Boy’s U17, Carlos Kiefer Quintana (Fanatic / Duotone) was the standout sailor as the young German busted out a 10 point double forward to comfortably advance into Winners’ Final where he would meet Arthur Van den Brande (RRD / RRD Sails). The young German proved unstoppable though with a variety of one-handed backloops and perfect stalled forwards. Van den Brande did well to battle back into second place after having to come through the repechage round.

Meanwhile, in the battle for bronze Ryu Ngochi (Starboard / Severne Sails) produced an excellent display to defeat Iu Pijoan (Severne / Severne Sails)

Boy’s U15

Ryomi Sugi (Severne / Severne Sails) lined up against Javier Escribano Toribio (Goya Windsurfing) in the Winners’ Final after the young Spaniard came back through to repechage round to progress all the way into the top 2. Escribano Toribio landed his first ever pushloop in the final, but even that amazing effort couldn’t stop Sugi from claiming the top honours with the young Japanese sailor managing to do slightly better on the wave to take the top spot on the podium ahead of Escribano Toribio, who claims an excellent second place.

The podium is completed by Peter Gobisch (Fanatic / Duotone) as the young German produced a solid display to defeat Bjorn Olesen (Severne / Severne Sails) in the battle for third and fourth place.

The forecast for tomorrow promises more strong winds, but unfortunately the waves are expected to drop back even further with just a 1 metre wind swell predicted during the afternoon, so we will have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully, with a bit of luck there will at least be a bit of a bump for an hour or two with the tide on the push. The wave fleets will meet again tomorrow morning at 10am with the action commencing from 10:30am (GMT+1) onwards.
