For the second time in her career, and the first time in Fuerteventura, Maaike Huvermann defeated Sarah-Quita Offringa in a heat – specifically the final of the Double Elimination, putting her on the cusp of a first World Title. All would be decided in the Super Final – an additional heat to decide the event and World Title.
The Queen of Windsurfing came out charging – fired up and determined to not end her streak of 15 back to back freestyle World Titles.
Maaike continued to impress in the super final – once again landing a spock kono – a new move in the women’s freestyle division as well as a big skopu on the outside and actually had a higher heat score on port tack in the Super Final, but Sarah-Quita wasn’t going down without a fight, and her starboard tack score gave her the edge to take the World Title.
This was a huge result however for Maaike, showing the World that Sarah-Quita is no longer completely unbeatable.
The level of women’s freestyle is higher than ever – congratulations Maaike for pushing higher and harder than ever before!
