Nein, Ben ist leider nicht vor Ort, weil es keinen Live Stream vom Veranstalter gibt. Ich vermute, daß dafür kein Geld mehr da war. Aus dem Grund - nicht genügend Sponsorengelder - sind ja auch einige Disziplinen für die Frauen weggefallen, wenn ich das richtig verstanden habe. Aber sind wir froh, daß der WC Sylt überhaupt stattfindet.

worldcup ohne stream ist wie fussball WM und nur bei dazn übertragen 💩

Das war Tag 1:
Registered, Rigged & Ready | Plus World Title Hopefuls Offringa, Browne & Vrieswijk Share their Thoughts Before the Start of the Event
The inaugural day of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt saw 103 sailors registering for the upcoming competition between 11:30am to 1:30pm before they made their final preparations before the contest begins. Later in the afternoon - 4pm - the Opening Ceremony was held in front of a packed out beach.
Crowds gather for the Opening Ceremony
With 3 world titles set to be decided over the next 10 days we caught up with a few of the world title contenders:
Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) on being top seed in the absence of the Moreno Twins: “I think it actually makes it a bit tougher for me. In wave sailing I’ve never been the first seed and somehow for me it feels better for me to have something to work towards. I know this feeling of being at the top and being hunted by the others, so it’s tough position to be in I think. Over the past few years I’ve had really good results here though. I think I won the last two events here (2018 & ’19), so somehow it works for me here. I also like the fact that it’s so unpredictable, so anything really can happen here. There are no favourites. It’s going to be exciting.”
How does it feel to be back in Sylt?
“It’s great to be back. I’m happy to be here. There’s a good vibe and this is the biggest event we go to, so it’s great to be able to see all the sailors again and to compete.”
Sarah-Quita Offringa
Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing), who currently leads the Men’s PWA Wave World Tour and is aiming to win his second wave world title : “I feel good, I had a nice break after Pozo, spending a lot time in Brazil where I was able to sail quite a bit. I’m good, I’m ready and I’m excited to compete again.
Before the event I was in England as some family was having a wedding there. I had some gear with me, so I was able to sail for a couple of days as well, which helped me adjust with the jet lag and the colder weather.
It’s nice to be back in Sylt. It feels more fresh as we haven’t been here for so long. I have a lot of memories from here, so it’s good to be back.”
Marcilio Browne
Amado Vrieswijk (Future Fly / Severne Sails) won his first world title in 2021 and is looking to defend both his event and world title over the next 10 days: “I’m excited, but I must say that I haven’t been focusing on Freestyle at all. I can count on two hands how many times I’ve freestyle this year. I’ve been focusing more on the racing/foiling, so I’ve gained a lot of weight. The freestyle moves are still there, it’s just it needs to be windy and then hopefully I can put on a good show."
You had a good result in Croatia - finishing 5th - do you have an aim for the racing this week?
“The speed is there. I had some ups and downs in Croatia, but if I connect everything then I think there’s a good possibility of a podium here.”
So, for the future you see yourself focusing more on racing than freestyle?
“Definitely, yeah. We don’t have a lot of events at the moment, so it doesn’t make so much sense to train the whole year for freestyle.”
How’s it to be back in Sylt? It’s been a few years…
“It’s been a few years, but it feels like I left yesterday… It’s good to see everybody again and the forecast looks okay!”

Das war Tag 2:
Rutkowski Sets Early Pace in the Racing with 2 Bullets From 4 Races, but Things Remain Tight at the Top
Day two always looked like it had the potential to produce some light wind racing and that’s exactly how things played out with winds of 6-12 knots throughout the day, which provided just over 6 hours of excellent foil racing. By the close of play 4 eliminations were able to be completed - meaning 1 discard has been achieved already - whilst Maciek Rutkowski (FMX Racing / Challenger Sails) heads up the overnight rankings of the Men’s Slalom at the Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt.
Golden hour in Sylt
Men’s
Slalom
Maciek Rutkowski enjoyed a brilliant first day of racing to take the early initiative in the Men’s Slalom. The Pole looked blisteringly fast throughout and he used that speed to great effect as he notched up back-to-back bullets in Eliminations 2 and 3 to gain a stranglehold over the event. The 30-year-old barely put a foot wrong all day - recording a second place in the opener and 3rd in the last, which he currently discards, to hold a 3.3 point advantage over Pierre Mortefon (Fanatic / Duotone / Chopper Fins / Phantom Foils) at the top of the rankings.
A great day for Maciek Rutkowski
Mortefon made the perfect start as he claimed the opening bullet of the event, however, after a dream start, the 2019 world champion was eliminated in the semifinals of Elimination 2 which saw him drop from first to fourth. The 33-year-old bounced back strongly in the last two races as he recorded a second and a fourth to climb into second place and is within striking distance of the top.
Pierre Mortefon
Matteo Iachino (Starboard / Severne Sails / Starboard Foil) is just 0.3 of a point further back as things remain tight at the top. The Italian also missed out on one Winners’ Final, but was able to discard a 10th place finish in Elimination 3 to keep himself firmly in contention for the event title with counting results of two seconds and a third.
Matteo Iachino
Having made a solid start to the racing with a 5th place - Amado Vrieswijk (Future Fly / Severne Sails) - made a costly mistake in Elimination 2 to be eliminated in the quarterfinals after missing his boom on the rig flip of the second gybe. However, like Mortefon and Iachino, the Bonairean bounced back brilliantly - claiming third place in Elimination 3, before signing off the day in style as he clinched victory in Elimination 4 to climb from 8th to 4th. Vrieswijk stated that he’s aiming for a podium by the end of the event and he’s prominently placed at the end of the first days racing.
Amado Vrieswijk
In the opening 3 eliminations - Mateus Isaac (Severne / Severne Sails) - didn’t finish outside the top 4, which left him occupying second place. However, the Brazilian couldn’t quite maintain that position at the close of play. Isaac was involved in an incredibly tight finish in the semifinal of Elimination 4, but just lost out to Maciek Rutkowski and Luuc Van Opzeeland (Severne / Severne Sails). Isaac would go on to win the b-final - securing 9th - which he currently discards to finish the day sat in 5th.
Mateus Isaac
Sebastian Kördel (Starboard / Severne Sails / Starboard Foils) is the only other sailor alongside Rutkowski to boast a 100% qualifying record for the Winners’ Finals. The German was extremely consistent throughout recording 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th place finishes, which sees Kördel currently sitting in 6th place.
Sebastian Kördel
Johan Soe (FMX Racing / Point-7) produced one of the performances of the day as the 18-year-old raced with a maturity beyond his years. The young Dane has already recorded some eye-catching results - 9th at the Défi Wind earlier this year and 7th in Croatia, and proved that it wasn’t just a fluke again today by not finishing outside the top 13, whilst recording excellent 4th and 6th place finishes in Eliminations 2 and 3 respectively to deservedly earn his place in the top 10 - 7th.
Johan Soe in the mix
The top 10 is currently completed by Luuc Van Opzeeland, who bounced back from a disappointing first race with two fifth places and an 11th, Croatia’s Enrico Marotti (JP / NeilPryde) and Denmark’s Sebastian Kornum (JP / NeilPryde), who is just half a point ahead of Rytis Jasiunas (FMX Racing / Point-7) and Jordy Vonk (Fanatic / Duotone).
Enrico Marotti gives chase
Tomorrow looks set to see an exciting day of action, which is likely to see both the Freestyle and Wave fleets in action throughout the day. The forecast currently promises winds of 20-40 knots from the southwest accompanied by waves of up to 2.4 metres, so there should be another excellent day of sailing to come. A call will be made at 6:45am (GMT+2) tomorrow morning with regards as to whether to run Waves or Freestyle. A skippers’ meeting for either fleet will then be held at 7am with a first possible start at 7:15am. The Slalom fleet will have a skippers’ meeting at 10am.

...eventl. sollten die Benz Fahrer da mal Werbung machen. Bei dem Wetter steht sowieso keiner am Strand:):)
-
Na dann gleich das Finale der Single mit Köster gegen Pare, wenn die Bedingungen halten.
-
Köster im Finale... 🤙
-
Wahrlich kein Vergnügen bei dem Wetter und rein rechnerisch dürfte Browne damit ja schon Weltmeister sein...
-
-
Wieso steht da bei Iachino immer noch Starboard Foil? Ist er nicht schon die ganze Saison auf Z?
-
Bei der Kamera im Stream bin ich mir nicht sicher, ob dahinter eine künstliche (Un)Intelligenz steht. Aber das meiste fängt sie schon ein.
-
Wahrlich kein Vergnügen bei dem Wetter und rein rechnerisch dürfte Browne damit ja schon Weltmeister sein...
Ja

Trotzdem eine super Leistung von Köster. Ben Proffit hat auf seinem YouTube Kanal den Stream von Zuhause aus kommentiert. Na ja. Heute gute Bedingungen und kein toller Stream. Die Moreno Schwestern auch nicht da. Dann der Mist mit Teneriffa. Irgendwie noch nicht so pralle nach der Corona Pause.
-
Philip hat gerade die Single Elimination gewonnen. Egal wie die Double läuft, Browne ist dennoch Weltmeister Wave.
