Slalom-X Windsurfing Highlights – PWA Fuerteventura World Cup 2025

DAY 1: Fuerte by name, Fuerte by nature as winds exceed 40+ knots to test mettle of world’s best racers as Femke van der Veen and Pierre Mortefon lead overnight rankings.
DAY 2: Day two of the 2025 Fuerteventura PWA Grand Slam didn’t disappoint as the Sotavento wind machine continued, although slightly lighter than yesterday, especially earlier on in the day. The world’s best racers were once again given a stern test as variable winds together with a lumpy sea meant they had to be alert at all times with a new swell also running through the course. By the end of the second day, another four eliminations for women have been completed, while a further three eliminations for the men were finished and things remain incredibly close at the top as we head into the last three days of racing.
DAY 3: The third day of the 2025 Fuerteventura PWA Grand Slam provided some of the most exciting racing thus far with more twists and turns than you could’ve possibly scripted as the form book for some sailors was thrown out the window, while others continued to thrive. Sailors across the two fleets were on anything from 5.6-6.8m and with a swell running, and the sausage being re-implemented, carnage ensued as Slalom X showed itself as the hugely entertaining discipline that it is.
DAY 4: The penultimate day of the Slalom X in Fuerteventura saw Sarah-Quita Offringa crowned world champion for an incredible 26th time after successfully defending her Slalom X world title. Meanwhile, more carnage ensued in the Men’s with a solid swell combined with the the wind swell, running in a different direction, causing real problems for the world’s best, which has eventually seen Pierre Mortefon claim control of the event, but that doesn’t really tell the full story…
DAY 5: The wind machine continued on the final day of Slalom X at the 2025 Fuerteventura PWA Grand Slam, which meant most sailors were reaching for their smallest equipment again for the last eliminations of what has been an absolutely fantastic racing event. Pierre Mortefon put himself in control of the event yesterday afternoon and he soon had things wrapped up as he won the opening race of the day to take the World Tour lead.
