Fuerteventura lived up to its name on the opening day of the 2023 Fuerteventura PWA Grand Slam as winds gusting in excess of 30 knots greeted competitors to provide a great afternoon of racing, which resulted in 4 eliminations for the women and two races for the men being completed.

Things couldn’t have gone much better for Sarah-Quita Offringa on the opening day of the 2023 Fuerteventura PWA Grand Slam as the Aruban began by completing a clinical hat-trick as she dominated the fleet armed with a fin setup. 

In the men’s division William Huppert heads up the event rankings after qualifying for both Winners’ Finals where he recorded a solid fourth and fifth. This is the first time the Frenchman has led an event, so it will be interesting to see how he copes with that pressure heading into day two.

Re-Watch the action.
