EVERYTHING IS SET FOR A FINAL DAY SHOWDOWN - DAY 7 IN SYLT | CITROEN WINDSURF WORLD Cup 2026

Day seven here in Sylt for the Citroën Windsurfing World Cup. And today, it's been like the summer. The sun has been shining, but no wind on the water. Disciplines are on hold. But what does that mean? The last day is coming up tomorrow, and there is a forecast. Small waves. So all disciplines have been cancelled today. That is it. So we have one day left. The final day coming up tomorrow and there is a forecast. There is talk of waves. There is talk of maybe freestyle and there is definitely going to be conditions to race. So let's have a look at the different disciplines and how they could play out. So let's look at the waves. Now this has the least possibility of happening, but there is a chance. In the men, Marc Paré is leading that world title race at the moment and he loves it here in Sylt. So he'll be crossing his fingers that something can happen. He is going for three in a row, which is probably the first time that would ever have happened. Sylt is a super special event for me. I think it's the first event where I got a podium. So, yeah, you know, it's... Very specially banned and I feel a deep connection with the North Sea. In fact, I spent a lot of years of my life in Denmark. I really, really love this place. Unfortunately, the forecast is not looking that great for wave sailing, but we still have an option tomorrow. But still, if we don't compete here, my plan is to go to Tiree, to Scotland, to the four-star event right before Maui, and hopefully we get good conditions and I can get a good result there. But yeah, I think the last two events of the season, the last two five-star events are going to be crucial. So, Maui and Chile, so yeah. The plan is to just give it all in the last two events and try to rack up as many points as possible to come up on top at the end of the year. And then this week I've literally been going to the gym as much as I could, trying to stay fit and active and working on sail design on the computer the last few days. Walking on the beach. Yeah, you know, so also in a way taking time for myself, you know It's been quite hectic ever ever since the beginning of summer with all the events and like all the things I had to do for Simmer for the sail design and stuff. So yeah in a way it's been a kind of a good week taking a break Yeah, there is a lot of sacrifice, you know, and yeah, sometimes it's hard to see from the outside but especially the like the way My life is at the moment and like kind of taking two roles at the same time you know so like on one side is my personality where like I'm trying to win a world title again and you know be like this top competitor and then on the other side it's like focused on a windsurf brand like trying to design the best gear as possible and you know trying to manage like all this development side of things. You know, it takes time, you know, it's like it basically takes up my whole year. So there's points where I'm like, OK, I need a I need a break. But you don't really have enough time to do that. So, yeah, there's a lot of sacrifices and especially like on the personal side of things. And yeah, but, you know, it's. It's my life, and I really enjoy doing what I do at the end of the day, and I do it because I love it. In the women, Lena Erpenstein, she is leading the waves in the women. Without Sarah Keiter here, I'm sure she is going to want competition to happen, and they probably have the most likelihood, because it's a smaller fleet, we have small waves forecasted, maybe float and ride could be interesting. And then we've got the freestyle. The freestyle men, this is where we're going to crown the world title. We had the single elimination earlier in the week and Leonard Neubauer was the champion. So after winning in Fuerteventura, he has one hand on that title. One win tomorrow and he will be the world champion. Yentl Kears does have a chance to come back though, but it's an outside possibility. I really hope we get some good conditions. Like, I mean, it's my only chance. Let's get it on. I mean, today is beautiful sunny, tomorrow looks more darky, a bit rainy. So let's bring us some storm and get excited for tomorrow. Let's hope. And then we have got the racing. This looks the strongest possibility tomorrow. And we will have different conditions to the other days of racing. Cross-shore wind, maybe bigger waves. The wolf is leading the German. This would be his first ever PWA win in Germany. A German. This is massive for him. Will we race? Who could come through? There's only 0.3 separating him from the second place rider, Matteo Iacchino. And the podium is still up for grabs. Amado Vrieswijk sitting in third place at the moment with Pierre Mortefeuille in fourth place. How will it play out? We don't know. You're going to have to join us on the live stream to see which discipline goes, to see who will be the Freestyle World Champion and to see who go into the next events in the lead.
