Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup

Day 7: A day of small waves sees a round of the Men’s Double Elimination completed, while the Youth’s hit the water as well

With the tide on the push there was a short period this morning with contestable conditions, which allowed the second round of the Men’s Double Elimination to be completed before a short interlude, which then saw the Youth’s hitting the water during the afternoon in knee to occasional waist high waves.

Wave

Men’s - Double Elimination

In Heat 36, Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing) continued his come back as he posted the highest score of the day - 27.3 points - which included an exquisite 9.25 point stalled double forward. Meanwhile, Adam Warchol (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing) secured the other qualifying place.

Antoine Albert (Goya Windsurfing) won Heat 37 ahead of Carlos Kiefer Quintana (Duotone / Windsurfing), but that doesn’t quite tell the whole story as there was a colossal battle between the young Spaniard and Gregory Stathapoulos (Goya Windsurfing) for that second qualifying position. Towards the end of the heat they were tied on 14.34 points, but it looked as though the 18-year-old Greek was going to sneak through after linking together a small wave score in the last minute. However, just as he did in the first round of the Double Elimination, Kiefer Quintana pulled off a buzzer beater as he rotated through a double forward to book his place in the next round.

In the next heat, Heat 38, there was another terrific fight as the lead changed hands on several occasions between Morgan Noireaux (JP / NeilPryde / Black Project Fins), Takara Ishii (RRD / RRD Sails) and local Moritz Mauch). In the end, Mauch’s superior wave riding saw him claim the heat victory, but things remained incredibly close between Ishii and Noireaux. The Hawaiian outscored, Ishii by almost three points into the air after landing a decent double forward, but ultimately lost out due to the Japanese sailors better wave scores, which included a 5.62 point wave.

The last men’s heat of the day saw Miguel Chapuis (Flikka / North Sails) and Lennart Neubauer (Starboard / Severne Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) comfortably advance from Heat 39 with the young Spaniard winning the heat ahead of his Greek counterpart. Both sailors landed excellent double forwards, but Chapuis’ wave riding earned him the victory.

Youth’s

Girl’s

A little later in the afternoon, the youths hit the water again, which saw Sol Degrieck (Severne / Severne Sails) claim another victory in the Girl’s U18s Wave, before Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing) exacted revenge in the Girl’s U21s as she came out on top in the second final, but Maria Morales (Goya Windsurfing), who finished second, deserves a special mention after producing an excellent double forward attempt towards the end of the heat.

Boy’s

The first youth heat of the day saw the Boy’s U13s in action as Elías Antolín (Duotone Windsurfing) claimed his second victory of the event. Meanwhile, Ryoma Sugi (Tabou / North Sails) proved too strong again in the Boy’s U15s as he too secured his second victory of the event.

In the U18 Boy’s Alexander Erfurt (Ezzy Sails) and Fernando Sottile both advanced from the opening round of the Double Elimination, while in the opening round of the U21s Takuma Moriya (Severne / Severne Sails), Hannes Gobisch (Duotone Windsurfing), Hayata Ishii (RRD / RRD Sails) and Marc Alonso (F2 / F2 Sails) and they will now all sail again each other in the next round.

The forecast for the penultimate day of the 2024 Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup looks set to produce another solid day of wind with a similar forecast as today. The Wave and Slalom X fleets will meet again tomorrow morning at 09:30am (GMT+1) with the action commencing from 10am onwards for the Waves and 11am for the Slalom X.
