Chile Surazo infernal World Cup

The 2025 Chile Surazo infernal World Cup concluded in spectacular fashion on Finals Day at Topocalma, where perfect lines, offshore wind, and high drama combined for one of the most memorable days in World Wave Tour history. Champions were crowned, rivalries reignited, and the global talent pool once again proved just how deep this sport runs.

Women’s Final – Seman Soars to Victory

Australia’s Jane Seman (Severne Windsurfing) stole the show with a fearless, high-flying performance that earned her the win with 11.36 points, launching into a non-stop aerial assault in the perfect Topocalma walls. The eventual champion said: “Oh it was so fun! It was just like aerial city! Had a ball, loved it. I just decided to go for it — sometimes I got my timing wrong, but sometimes I got it right!”

Asked how the waves compared to her home break of Margaret River: “Ah, Topocalma is a bit different, we don’t have super offshore [wind] and this sort of stuff, but it’s close, it’s close enough. For aerials and stuff I felt really comfortable, which was fun!”. She was then mobbed by Team Australia in a wild beach celebration.

Spain’s Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing), who placed second for the second straight year in Chile with 10.96 points, showed both class and style: “It feels amazing! I mean, the first round I lost it, I was a bit sad, but now finishing second it feels super good. I had a lot of fun! Congrats to Jane and all the other girls — to Sarah [Quita Offringa], Maria [Morales], it was amazing.”

Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins), third with 10.87 points, reflected on the experience of being in such a diverse and tightly contested final: “It was really fun to do the heat here in Topocalma. It was a little bit nerve-wracking because I never sailed this spot before. But then when I got in the water I kind of got in the rhythm and I was having a lot of fun.

Third place is not what I came for — obviously I want to win — but I’m really happy with my sailing. Looking at the scoring, it was really tight. Just to be part of such a tight final with so many good — kind of like the young generation [Alexia and Maria] against the older generation [Offringa in her early 30s and Seman a Master.] — it’s really cool to be a part of that.”

Spain’s María Morales (Goya Windsurfing / MFC), still under 21 and competing in both the Women’s and Pro Junior fields, finished fourth after qualifying for her first pro final: “I feel a little bit sad, because I was so close to the podium and just missed out, but I’m happy to be here. That was my worst heat of the competition because the conditions were so complicated. It wasn’t my heat, but next year, I’ll train a lot and I think it will be better.”

Men’s Final – Browne Back in Charge

Brazil’s Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) reaffirmed his world champion pedigree with a composed and clinical win in Topocalma’s pumping lefts. Posting a heat score of 15.14 points, Browne edged out Spain’s Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails) by just 0.31 of a point in one of the tightest and most high-stakes finals the tour has seen.

Event champion, Marcilio Browne: “Thank you so much, [it’s] unbelievable, I’m so happy. Such a hard event,  with everybody sailing so well. I didn’t have all that many expectations, and just really focused on having fun and my gear felt incredible — I had all the good boards and sails. I had a lot of fun this week, so to end it here in Topocalma, my favourite break in Chile, made it extra special.

The biggest part of the heat was just getting a wave. Everyone was trying to get priority out behind the rock, and then you’d come in just hoping the texture would stay in the water — because sometimes it would just vacuum the wind out. You never knew. I’m so happy, stoked.”

Marc Paré, runner-up with 14.83 points, was all class in a performance that came within a whisper of victory: “It was fun — dreamy conditions. What else can we ask for, sailing in Topocalma! Super stoked with some of the waves I got. Just a shame, [that] I think towards the end, Braw got a really, really good one. Maybe I should have waited outside, but I came in with a set thinking it was going to be a good one and then it just faded out.”

France’s Baptiste Cloarec (RRD / RRD Sails) took third with 11.34 points, bringing aggressive, fast rail work and explosive hacks - despite competing with a broken foot: “We had amazing conditions here in Chile. We moved to Topocalma today — it’s just perfect! The sand, the wave, the wind — everything was perfect. I was on 4.0 completely overpowered — ha — it’s amazing. Thank you, I’m happy with this.”

Last year’s event champion, Guadeloupe’s Camille Juban (AV Boards / S2Maui) finished fourth with 10.17 points after an inspired run through the earlier rounds. 

Pro Junior Boys – Richter Rises to the Top

Germany’s Anton Richter (JP / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) delivered a breakout win in the Pro Junior division as he racked up 12.50 points to narrowly defeat Saint Martin’s Kymani Laurent (12.07 points) in a final that was packed with flair, power, and high stakes.

Kymani — in his second straight Chile final — showed huge progression, style, and control in the punchy lefts. Australia's Jake Ghiretti (Severne Windsurfing) (10.77 points) and Denmark’s Tobias Bjørnaa (Duotone Windsurfing) (9.93 points) also impressed, solidifying themselves as stars of the future.

The Road Ahead

With rankings now shaken and world title ambitions sharpened, the Chile World Cup Finals Day set a new benchmark for performance, drama, and global representation. From Browne’s poise under pressure, to Seman’s fearless flying, to Richter’s rising-star moment — the World Wave Tour’s future looks brighter than ever.

Next stop: Maui Pro Am 4-Star, April 14th-18th.

The global tour continues, and the race for the 2025 World Titles is officially on.
