Mercedes-Benz Sylt PWA World Cup 2019

Wird extrem hart fĂŒr Philip, wenn der Wind auf Nordwest dreht. Heute mit GlĂŒck noch Westwind...
Das war Tag 3:
Sylt continues to show several different sides to itself in the opening half of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt - with day three producing predominantly a day of float and ride conditions, which produced one major upset which potentially opens up the Menâs Wave World title race. After the opening 5 heats the forecast heavy rain set in, which caused havoc with the wind and meant that no further heats were completed.
Antoine Martin - one of the standout sailors of the day
Wave
Menâs
The main news of the day is that current world tour leader - Ricardo Campello (Brunotti Boards) - is out of the single elimination in joint 9th place after suffering defeat to Antoine Martin (JP / NeilPryde) in Heat 12b. The 34-year-old wasnât particularly happy with the conditions and struggled to find the wave scores he required, but Martin looked extremely impressive - picking off plenty of waves and showing excellent timing to perform critical turns and aerials to deservedly advance as he continues to enjoy his best year on tour. The 25-year-old came into Sylt ranked joint 7th and is already guaranteed his third top 10 result in a row.
Antoine Martin tweaks a sick aerial
Martin will now face Adam Lewis (Fanatic / Duotone / SWOX) in Heat 14b after the Brit dispatched of Marino Gil (Goya Windsurfing) with an excellent display. Lewis showed plenty of aggression and took a lot of risk to throw powerful turns and aerials. With Lewis guaranteed at least 5th place in the single elimination the 31-year-old is already guaranteed his best result of the season no matter what happens.
Adam Lewis
With Campello out of the single elimination that potentially opens up the title race for Jaeger Stone (Starboard / Severne / SWOX), Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / Duotone) and Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins), who now all stand to gain valuable ground, but Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing) also fell today against Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails), who remains in the race to defend his event title from last year and looks to be in dangerous form.
Thomas Traversa off-the-lip
Victor Fernandez, who is 4th in the current world rankings, has already secured his place in the top 4 of the single elimination after negotiating his way past two potentially very tricky heats against Julian Salmonn (Bruch Boards / GUNSAILS) and Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails). The reigning world champion showed off plenty of well timed full rail turns to progress and he will now face Traversa in the semifinals.
Victor Fernandez
With Stone pitted against Köster in the quarterfinals, one of the world title hopefuls is guaranteed to be eliminated in joint 5th in the single elimination and Heat 14a could yet prove to be a pivotal point in this seasons title race. Stone eliminated Alessio Stillrich (Fanatic / Duotone) earlier today, while Köster defeated Dieter van der Eyken (Severne / Severne Sails). A couple of attempts were made to run Heat 14, but on both occasions the conditions were deemed unsuitable and it was therefore cancelled.
Jaeger Stone
There is still a long way to go in this wave contest with the double elimination to come, but Campello is now under severe pressure to mount a come back or his title challenge for 2019 would take a major dent with no discards this year.
The wave fleet will meet at 7:30am (GMT+2) for the skippersâ meeting on Monday morning with 29-34 west-north-west winds predicted and expected to stay for the duration of the day, so Monday should see a full day of action. The Freestyle fleet will meet at 10am with a first possible start at 10:30am. The Foil fleet have a skippersâ meeting at 12pm, but realistically the chances of them competing tomorrow is extremely slim.
Forecast for Monday onwards

Das war Tag 4:
Day 4 of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt produced a phenomenal day of action with huge upsets and some massive wins having serious implications for the title races in both the menâs and womenâs Wave fleets and the menâs Freestyle. All of this took place during 11 hours of intense competition as Sylt continues to produce a wide range of conditions to truly test the worldâs best sailors. During the afternoon the wind swung bolt onshore and with the increasing swell size even just getting out was somewhat of an artform.
Sylt's infamously heavy beach break
Wave
Womenâs
Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) successfully defended her single elimination crown this evening to be crowned the champion of Sylt for the second consecutive year. The Aruban came into Sylt ranked third in the overall rankings, but with Justyna Sniady (Simmer / Simmer Sails / AL360) finishing 3rd and Iballa Moreno (Severne / Severne Sails / Maui Ultra Fins finishing 5th that means that Offringa now leads the PWA Wave World Tour for the first time in her career heading into the final event of the season in Maui - where she is also the defending champion.
Sarah-Quita Offringa
Maaike Huvermann (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) started the day in 4th place, but finishes the event with her first wave podium after sneaking her way past - Iballa Moreno, Justyna Sniady & finally Lina Erpenstein (Severne / Severne Sails) - to claim second place, which keeps the 21-year-old in 4th place in the overall rankings.
Maaike Huvermann
Justyna Sniady falls one place from the single to third, while also slipping to second in the world rankings, but as a whole, the event should go down as another huge success for the Pole, who secures her third straight podium. Sniady required stitches in her foot after her last heat of the day and everyone from the PWA wishes her well with her recovery.
Justyna Sniady
Sometimes it just not your day and that was the case for reigning world champion - Iballa Moreno - who has to settle for 5th place here. Iballa will now head to Maui knowing that with a discard to come victory in Maui would still guarantee her the wave world title, so there is all still to play for!
A rare day to forget for Iballa Moreno
Menâs
Like Offringa, Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) also successfully defended his event title after producing a superb performance to firstly defeat Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) in the Single Elimination Final, before bringing Marcilio Browneâs (Goya Windsurfing) charge back through the double to an end. Traversa made the extremely difficult conditions look comparatively easy and deservedly claims his first victory of the season, which sees him climb to 6th in the overall rankings.
Tommy T strikes again in Sylt
Browne was on somewhat of a rampage in the double elimination and the Brazilian deservedly fought his way back from joint 5th in the single to finish second here after winning 6 heats on the bounce. Browne first defeated Ricardo Campello (Brunotti Boards) before going on to also dispatch of Marc ParĂ© (Simmer / Simmer Sails), Adam Lewis (Fanatic / Duotone / SWOX), Antoine Martin (JP / NeilPryde), Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / Duotone) and Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) with a combination of excellent double forwards - despite the tricky conditions - and fluid wave riding bringing him plenty of success. Browneâs come back is made all the more impressive due to reports saying that he has also been battling a fever over the last few days. Second place here means that Browne rises to third in the overall rankings and he will head into Maui with every chance of earning a second wave world title.
Marcilio Browne
Philip Köster now leads the world tour for the first time this season after completing the podium here with another solid performance. Unfortunately against Browne, Köster looked underpowered and got caught on the inside in the latter part of the heat to rule out any chance of defending his second place from the single.
Philip Köster
Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / Duotone) climbs two places in the overall rankings to second after a 4th place finish in the double elimination and he too will go to Maui with every chance of adding to his three wave world titles.
Victor Fernandez
Fellow world title hopefuls - Ricardo Campello and Jaeger Stone - have lost valuable ground in the title race after 9th and 7th place finishes today. However, they are certainly not out of the equation heading into Maui, while Traversa now also has an outside shot at the title after his victory earlier today.
A tough day for Ricardo Campello
Antoine Martinâs (JP / NeilPryde) fine season continues with the 25-year-old earning his best result in a double elimination on the world tour - 5th - which equals his result from Tenerife, where only a single could be completed. That result sees Martin ranked 6th with an event to go.
Antoine Martin
Elsewhere, Adam Lewis records his best result of the year - 6th - while Marc Paré shares joint 7th with Stone, while Alex Mussolini (RRD / RRD Sails), Campello, Jules Denel (JP / NeilPryde) and Klaas Voget (Fanatic / Duotone) complete the top ten here. Both Denel and Voget both fought back from the first round of the double elimination.
Adam Lewis
Freestyle
Sylt has produced hardcore freestyle conditions for the last few years, and today was no different with strong winds, waves, chop and a lot of current making competing extremely difficult for the worldâs best freestylers. However, while conditions may have been tricky to compete in, it also produced the most spectacular Freestyle of the year with huge moves being thrown down by the elite of the freestyle world.
Hardcore Freestyle conditions
By the end of Day 4, the Freestyle world title race has been turned on its head with both Youp Schmit (I-99 / Avanti) and Yentel Caers (I-99 / Point-7) being eliminated from the single elimination in the second round (joint 9th). Meanwhile, their two rivals - Amado Vrieswijk (JP / Severne) and Steven Van Broeckhoven (Starboard / GUNSAILS) - both negotiated their way into the winnersâ final and whoever won that final would take the world title race lead. In the end, Vrieswijk claimed a dominant victory in the final to take the world tour lead, but both he and Van Broeckhoven will now face a nail biting wait to see how Schmit and Caers perform in the double as their world title fate remains out of their control.
A big moment for Amado Vrieswijk
If either Schmit or Caers is able to climb back into the top 6 then Vrieswijk/Van Broeckhoven are powerless to prevent them from winning a maiden world title. However, in order for Schmit/Caers to recover into at least 6th place they will have to win 4 consecutive heats, which is no mean feet.
Worrying times for Youp Schmit
Elsewhere, Adrien Bosson (Fanatic / Duotone / Maui Ultra Fins) was at his explosive best today and he currently completes the podium after beating Dieter van der Eyken (Severne / Severne Sails), who had earlier defeated Gollito Estredo (Fanatic / Duotone), in the losersâ final.
Adrien Bosson
van der Eyken also deserves great credit for his sportsmanship today as he continually caddied for several sailors to help them combat the extreme and tiring conditions - and really epitomised that sporting mantra.
Dieter van der Eyken
Jacopo Testa (RRD / RRD Sails / AL360), Sam Esteve (JP / NeilPryde), Balz MĂŒller (MB-Boards / Severne Sails) and Gollito currently share 5th place.
Balz MĂŒller - who was one of the standouts
With lighter winds expected for Tuesday the Freestyle sailors have been given a later skippersâ meeting of 12pm (GMT+2) with a first possible start at 12:30pm. However, with the waves expected to drop quite rapidly overnight, there is plenty of potential to complete the first Foil eliminations of the event. Particularly in the afternoon with 10-13 knot north to northwesterly winds expected. The Foil fleet will meet at 10am with the action commencing from 11am onwards.
Forecast heading into Tuesday

Wenn Traversa auch in Maui gewinnt, kann er noch Weltmeister werden?
Fernandez ist stĂ€rker als Köster auf Maui, normalerweise, aber mit der Auslosung kann man ja auch mal Pech oder GlĂŒck haben...
vielleicht gibts ja auch noshow auf Maui...
Lief bei euch der Liverstream? Bei mir ging nix... war das schon die Double?
Offringa ist ja echt cool, das wĂ€re seit gefĂŒhlt mal eine WM die nicht Moreno heiĂt seit, Ă€h, 10 Jahren?

Browne und Stone sind da noch im Weg und das wird schwerer.
Ein Event geht ja als Streicher durch, also mĂŒsste sich einer der Anderen durch einen Streicher verbessern durch einen der Events, die schon gelaufen sind.
Sehe ich niemals bei Fernandez, Campello, Köster, also können die gleich zuhause bleiben.
Bleiben da die Leichtgewichte, die Wind von rechts gewohnt sind mit Gewichtung auf Waveriding.
Hier ist das aktuelle Ranking:

Bist du dir sicher mit dem Streicher? Hab irgendwo gelesen wenn es mehr als 4 Events sind, kann einer gestrichen werden...

Sehr geiles Ergebnis auch fĂŒr Maaike Huvermann!

Ist Daida eigentlich gar nicht angetreten?
Naja, Fernandez ist schon mal unter die Top4 gekommen auf Maui, meine ich. Und das auch nur mit einer sehr zweifelhaften Entscheidung,
sonst wÀre er im Finale gelandet. Meine das war 2017 oder so...
Aber egal, ist klar was du meinst mit zuhause bleiben.
Trotzdem sollte man natĂŒrlich antreten, man weiĂ ja nie was ist, vielleicht gibts auch Highwind und SprĂŒnge zĂ€hlen auch in der Wertung?

Schade, dass das Wave Final Brown / Traversa kurz vor Ende (Brown fĂŒhrte verdient) gecancelt wurde. Brown hatte 7 Heats hinter sich und war platt wie nix. Ist doch klar, dass er dann einem frischen Traversa nichts mehr entgegen zu setzen hatte.
Das gleiche Spiel bei Huvermann, die ebenfalls etliche Heats hinter sich jatte, bevor sie auf Offringa traf.
Irgendwie komische Regeln...

Das war Tag 5:
After yesterdayâs manic day of competition, the fifth day of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt proved to be the polar opposite with only light winds throughout meaning that no contest was possible.
For a short time a few of the Foil fleet were tempted out on to the water, but it never really looked like it was going to happen and shortly after 5pm the sailors were released for the day.
With a decent looking forecast for Wednesday with 21-27 knot northwesterly currently being predicted the focus for tomorrow will be to complete the Menâs Freestyle Double Elimination and with it decide the 2019 Freestyle World Championship. After yesterday, Amado Vrieswijk (JP / Severne) currently leads the race, but fate is out of his own hands as if either Youp Schmit (I-99 / Avanti) or Yentel Caers (I-99 / Point-7) fight back into 6th place one of them will be the world champion.
Amado Vrieswijk
However, one of them will be able to advance into the top 6 as they are both on the same side of the draw and they could potentially meet in Heat 30b to decide the title as a victory in that heat would guarantee a place in the top 6. So, tomorrow is going to be a big day on the water! The Freestyle fleet will meet at 9am (GMT+2) with a first possible start at 9:30am, while the Foil fleet will meet again at 9:30am with a first possible start at 10:30am, but with the wind expected to be onshore it is unlikely that they will compete.
