Wave world titles on-the-line and it all comes down to the legendary Aloha Classic - only two women and three men remain in with a chance...

For a quarter of a century the same faces have dominated women’s windsurfing: The Moreno twins, Iballa (Severne / Severne Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) and Daida (Bruch Boards / Bruch Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) own 28 world titles between them while Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) has sealed the last 4 wave world titles and has currently amassed an astounding 27 world titles and counting. No one else has won this century. That’s rare domination in any sport. For the past fifteen years, the men’s world title has been ruled by three giants of the sport: Philip Köster (Severne Windsurfing), Víctor Fernández (Duotone Windsurfing), and Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC). Between them, they’ve captured every championship but one – Thomas Traversa (Tabou / GA Sails) in 2014. The barrier to entry has been almost absolute. Until perhaps this upcoming 2025 Aloha Classic.

This is the Aloha Classic Grand Final, presented by WINDSURF AI. The next generation arrives.

CHAMPIONSHIP SCENARIOS & GENERATIONAL CONTEXT

WOMEN’S DIVISION

The End of a Dynasty, The Birth of a New Era

Current Points Heading In:

1st: Sarah-Quita Offringa – 32,520 pts

2nd Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing) — 30,100 pts (unable to compete in Hawai’i this year)

3rd: Sol Degrieck (Severne Windsurfing) – 29,985 pts

THE REIGNING CHAMPION

Sarah-Quita Offringa

Offringa has claimed 4 wave world titles in the last three years (2022–2024). Before that shared dominance with the Moreno twins (Daida and Iballa Ruano Moreno won all from 1999 to 2018). Offringa enters the final with a commanding 2,535-point lead, positioning her as the clear favorite for another title.

Path to Victory: Offringa secures the title with a top 4 finish. Her experience, consistency, and championship pedigree give her significant advantages in high-pressure situations at legendary breaks like Ho’okipa.

A Decade of Domination: These three legends of the sport have dominated. No one else has broken through to win a single world title in this first quarter of the 21st century. That’s unprecedented dominance. Until now.

THE GENERATIONAL BREAKTHORUGH

Sol Degrieck (Age 16)

Remarkably, 16-year-old Belgian phenom Sol Degrieck sits just 2,535 points behind Offringa—within striking distance of the world title. Her aggressive riding style and fearlessness have made her a surprise contender this season, and her presence at this level signals a seismic shift in windsurfing’s generational landscape.

Path to Victory: Degrieck would need to WIN the Aloha Classic while Offringa finishes 4th (=5th or worse). This represents a high bar but is mathematically possible. Given her youth and explosive potential, Ho’okipa’s powerful waves could suit her risk-taking approach.

The Next Generation is HERE: At just 16 years old, Degrieck is on the title race and win or lose, her presence proves that the next generation is ready to take the sport by storm. If she wins, she becomes the first woman in a decade to break through the Offringa /Moreno twins barrier, a generational earthquake.

MEN’S DIVISION

An Era of Domination Faces Its Reckoning

Current Points Heading In:

1st: Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC) – 35,385 pts

2nd: Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) – 31,755 pts

3rd: Philip Köster (Severne Windsurfing) – 30,870 pts

THE CHALLENGERS

Marc Paré and the New Generation

Marc Paré holds a commanding 3,630-point lead and arrives in Hawaii as the favorite. His victory would be historic: the first new name on the men’s world title trophy in over a decade, breaking through a barrier that has seemed impenetrable.

More than a decade of domination: Men’s windsurfing has been dominated by these giants of the sport:

Philip Köster: (German) 5 world titles (2011, 2012, 2015, 2017, 2019)

Thomas Traversa (France) 1 world title (2014)

Víctor Fernández: (Spain) 3 world titles (2010, 2016, 2018)

Marcilio Browne: (Brazil) 4 wave world titles (2013, 2022, 2023, 2024)

The Breakthrough Moment: If Marc Paré wins at Ho’okipa, he doesn’t just claim a championship, he becomes the first man in a decade to break through the near total stranglehold of Köster, Fernández, and Browne. He becomes the catalyst for a new era.

The Challenge: Despite his 3,630-point advantage, Paré’s position carries risk. A 5th-place finish or worse opens the door for challengers if they win. Ho’okipa’s massive, powerful waves and competitive atmosphere create unpredictable conditions that can favor aggressive challengers over point leaders under immense pressure.

THE REIGNING CHAMPION

Marcilio Browne - 5x PWA World Champion - (4x Wave World Champion & 1x Freestyle World Champion)

Browne is the defending three-time champion and the the only athlete in this decade to achieve consecutive titles. He trails by 3,630 points but carries something more valuable than points: proven mastery of the sport at the highest level.

Path to Victory: Browne can claim a fourth consecutive world title by winning the final while Marc Paré finishes outside the top four. His experience at Ho’okipa, combined with his technical prowess and mental toughness, makes him a genuine threat.

The Dynasty Question: For Browne, this is about proving that the elite can maintain their grip on the sport. A win would give him four consecutive titles and cement his place as the most dominant athlete of this era. But losing means the new generation finally breaks through. Köster and Fernandez represent the old guard of dominance, but remain formidable forces on the World Tour, although mathematically it's only Köster in with a chance of earning another world title - if he wins the event and other results fall his way.

THE TURNING POINT

The 2025 Aloha Classic Grand Final is more than the end of a season, it’s the culmination of a sporting evolution. In the Women’s Division, two decades of dominance meet a fearless new generation ready to redefine what’s possible. In the Men’s Division, the reign of three great champions faces its greatest test as Marc Paré stands poised to usher in a new era. For the first time, the world’s best will meet on a single, unified stage to decide who truly rules the waves. The next generation is rising, and at Ho‘okipa, the ocean will decide who rides into history.

Immerhin muss man anerkennen, dass es der prestigeträchtigste Worldcup ist.

Das war Tag 1:

Camille Juban lines up on a Ho'okipa bomb

Day 1: Strong Performances and Early Signals in the World Title Race as Ho'okipa Delivers World Class Conditions Right From the Get-Go

The 2025 Aloha Classic Grand Final, presented by WINDSURF AI, opened today in classic Ho‘okipa conditions, with steady trade winds and clean mast high set waves, setting the stage for the Challenger Rounds. Across six hours of heats, riders delivered stylish, technical performances and a glimpse of what’s to come as the world’s best prepare to fire up on the road to the final and the world title crowns.

Bernd Roediger Sets the Standard

Local favorite Bernd Roediger (Flikka / Hot Sails Maui / Black Project Fins) led the charge with a composed and powerful display, earning the day’s top score of 14.00 points. The highest total so far in the event. His signature flow and deep local knowledge were on full display, combining seamless turns and critical wave selection to win by more than five points from Antoine Martin (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC).

It was a clear statement of intent from one of Ho‘okipa’s most accomplished riders, and a reminder of the level required as the competition moves deeper into the main rounds.

Camille Juban and Marcilio Browne Fire Back

Reigning world champion Marcilio “Brawzinho” Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) began his title defence with authority, scoring 11.40 points to take a convincing win over Takara Ishii (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) and Ricardo Campello - 9.47.

The result keeps Browne’s hopes alive in the world title race, but to overtake current rankings leader Marc Paré Rico (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC), the Brazilian will need to win the event and hope that Paré finishes outside the top three. Meanwhile, Paré looked sharp and confident, matching Browne’s momentum with a 12.53-point heat win of his own.

Camille Juban (AV Boards / S2Maui) also impressed, scoring 13.17 points to defeat Liam Dunkerbeck (Duotone Windsurfing) - 10.57 - and Kai Lenny (Goya Windsurfing / MFC). His fluid, stylish approach continues to set him apart as one of the most naturally gifted riders on tour.

Big Names Deliver: Köster, Ishii, Swift, Siver and Ezzy Advance

Past world champions Philip Köster (Severne Windsurfing) and Víctor Fernández (Duotone Windsurfing) both advanced comfortably, while veterans Levi Siver (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC) and Robby Swift (JP / NeilPryde), who are locals at Ho’okipa, showcased timeless Ho‘okipa precision.

Graham Ezzy and Levi Siver were unsurprisingly among the day’s most consistent performers with double-digit totals and classic, flowing rides that took them both from Round 1 of the Challengers blasting his path into the top 24 with confident power as number 1 seeds in their respective R6 Round of 24 heats tomorrow.

Title Race Implications

With Marc Paré entering the event as the World Wave Tour Rankings leader, his strong opening heat keeps him firmly in control. However, Browne remains in with a serious chance - especially having won the Maui Pro-Am in April - and as conditions build through the week, the title race could hinge on a single set wave.

Behind them, Roediger’s dominant performance and Juban’s form add new tension to an already world class field, promising fireworks as the top seeds join in tomorrow’s rounds.

Looking Ahead

Day 2 brings the Elimination Rounds, where Women’s elite riders including Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins), Sol Degreick (Severne Windsurfing), Pauline Katz (Severne Windsurfing) and all the other women who rip will make their first appearances. With more strong logo to mast plus swells expected and similar offshore winds forecast early, the stage is set for another explosive LIVE BROADCAST day at Ho‘okipa.

Day 2: The Battle Intensifies as the World’s Best Close in on the Crowns

Perfect trade-wind conditions returned to Ho‘okipa today for Day 2 of the 2025 Aloha Classic Grand Final, delivering a full day of 5-star competition as both the men’s and women’s draws charged toward Finals Day.

Wave

Women’s

The women hit the water for the first time today, launching their Round 1 Seeding Heats before moving straight through to Round 2 Redemption.

World No.1 Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) looked as polished as ever, advancing with power and style. Pauline Katz (Severne Windsurfing) impressed with clean execution and fast rail work, while Shawna Cropas (JP / NeilPryde) put on standout performances in the strong afternoon wind. Each won their first round heats.

Men Battle Through to the Final Eight

The men’s division pushed through a marathon sequence – from Round 5 Redemption to the Round of 24, Quarterfinals, and down to the top eight.

Former champions and rising stars all threw down huge scores in building Ho‘okipa surf. Bernd Roediger (Flikka / Hot Sails Maui / Black Project Fins), Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC), Ricardo Campello, and Antoine Martin (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC) all advanced, alongside Morgan Noireaux (JP / NeilPryde / Black Project Fins), Takuma Sugi (Tabou / GA Sails / Black Project Fins), current world No.1 Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC), and Robby Swift (JP / NeilPryde)– a Finals Day lineup worthy of the sport’s ultimate stage.

Roediger’s fluid lines and power again earned one of the day’s highest totals, while Browne’s precision and Paré’s explosive aerials made it clear that the world title race remains wide open heading into the final showdown. Just as a reminder, a top three result guarantees the world title, however, if Paré finishes fourth or worse, then Browne can steal the world title on countback if he wins the Aloha Classic.

Finals Day Tomorrow

With both the men’s and women’s top eight locked in, attention now turns to Finals Day, where the 2025 World Wave Champions will be crowned live on the PWA / World Wave Tour broadcast.

Don’t miss a single moment – tune in tomorrow to watch the sport’s biggest names battle for glory in the world’s most prestigious wave-riding event.
