INSANELY CLOSE RACING AND BIG CRASHES ON DAY 6 IN THE SLALOM | World Cup Sylt 2023

The wind returned on day 6 of the 2023 schauinslandreisen Windsurf World Cup Sylt, presented by got2b, allowing a further three eliminations to be completed in 10-20 knots of wind and choppy / wavy waters, while Sylt’s infamous shorebreak claimed a few victims, but most survived largely unscathed. With 7 eliminations now being sailed the second discard comes into play meaning one rider goes from 12th place at the start of the day, to now taking the event lead! Join Ben Proffitt as he unwraps the day to find out who is now leading with 3 days to go!

I was wondering about the max speed? any idea?

[@nikhi1595]

hey, I was wondering, is there no women racing? Because there have been three days of mens racing and 2 days of mens freestyle but no women event (or did I just miss it?

[@PWAWORLDTOUR]

The disciplines for this event are Men’s Slalom, Men’s Freestyle and Men’s and Women’s Wave

What has Becker around the neck?

[@michelebeckerwindsurfing]

„Becker“ 😁 I am using a neck protector which is usually for cart racing. I modified it a bit and attached it to my impact vest so hopefully safe me in some hard catapults
