The forecast for Saturday, what was originally set to be the last official day of competition at the 2025 Citroën Windsurf World Cup Sylt, always looked tricky on paper. However, it turned out to be far trickier than anyone could’ve anticipated with constant bands of rain totally scuppering the wind. That meant that during the opening nine hours, just nine painstakingly slow heats were completed, in what turned out to be a true battle against the elements. In the end though, the conditions came good with the wind eventually stabilising around 17:00, while Sylt’s notorious dredging shorebreak showed it’s face to allow the world’s best wave sailors to produce several moments of magic…
We battled through as many heats as possible until darkness descended in the final minute of the Women’s Final. Storm Detlef had finally hit, but what would it bring by the morning? Would it be safe to go out? Would we have enough crew available to extend the contest window by an extra day…?
