  • The decision was made early on on Day 5 of the 2024 Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup that Slalom X would have the priority today after three solid days of wave competition. Slalom X was making its debut on the World Tour and for the majority it proved to be hugely popular as the world’s best racers got to battle it out on purely fins for the first time in several years, but with the subtle twist that they would be required to jump a hurdle at some stage of the race today. From a viewing perspective the racing looked spectacular with many of the sailors being on their smallest gear to combat the strong winds and water conditions, which saw a mixture or chop, swell and waves to provide a genuine all-round test for the men’s and women’s fleets. At the close of play, Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Pierre Mortefon (FMX Racing / Phantom Sails / Chopper Fins) both hold healthy leads at the top of the current event rankings.

    Even oldschool racers like Andy Laufer from Germany is back in business. He must be my age 😉 but still fast and passionated for blasting on the fin. Finest racing so far. Looking forward to the next days.

    Looks fab, not sure the sausage adds a lot, but the upwind option is worth developing. Great drone coverage!

    Epic! Enjoyed the wave discipline (also for inspiring me to keep on learning). And Slalom X wow what an event. Wil there be a Masters round? Can't wait to see Ben competing there :-D
