PWA Tenerife, final report

Pierre Mortefon successfully defends Slalom X world title to be crowned world champion for a fourth time, while Matteo Iachino & Jordy Vonk complete overall podium

DAY 10: The lack of wind on the final day of the Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano Windsurf Grand Slam 2025 meant that the results of the men’s and women’s Wave Single Eliminations remained unchanged, meaning that Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC) are officially the champions of the 2025 event in Tenerife.

Part of the beauty of windsurfing is its unpredictability and the penultimate day of the 2025 Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano Windsurf Grand Slam proved to be like that with the overnight forecast predicting one thing and delivering another. Ultimately, that meant that no official competition was completed, although a fun race was held, which saw a long distance race held starting from El Cabezo and finishing with a beach finish in front of Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano. With no official results gained, and the Slalom X holding period coming to an end, that means that Pierre Mortefon (FMX Racing) is officially your 2025 PWA world champion.

Day eight of the 2025 Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano Windsurf Grand Slam proved to be the most intense day of the competition thus far as a variety of Youth’s, Pro Women’s and Men’s heats hit the water between 10:00 to 19:30 local time. El Cabezo turned on at various points throughout the day with sets up to logo high rolling through intermittently, which provided a great canvas for for the world’s best sailors to show exactly what they are capable of.
