The penultimate day of the 2025 Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup saw final results gained in three categories; Women’s, U21 Boy’s and U18 Boy’s and all three divisions required Super Finals to determine the eventual winners of the event, such was the closeness of their duels. The Youth’s were up first and they were greeted with classic nuclear strength Pozo winds, and with the tide on the push, skatepark like conditions to perform their best stunts, while the women had to use every ounce of their talent to make the most of the deteriorating wave quality, which they duly did to still provide a great show.

Wave

Women’s

Daida Moreno (Bruch Boards / Bruch Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) completed a dream return to the competition scene, after coming out of retirement for this event, to claim an unprecedented 23rd event title in Pozo, but she didn’t exactly have it all her own way as she was forced into a Super Final by Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins). The Super Final also proved far from simple with Moreno having to produce a massive performance in the second half of the heat to deny Offringa, which she duly did after an equipment change more than paid off. In the dying seconds Moreno linked a backside air and a frontside air (landed wet) to earn 3.75 points, which proved enough to pip Offringa to the event title by just 0.31 of a point, having earlier stomped a backloop and a massive stalled forward.

For Offringa, this will be a bitter pill to swallow having been so close to finally defeating Moreno on her home waters – where she remains the undisputed Queen of Pozo. Offringa posted the highest scoring heat of the day in the final against Moreno – 23 points – and led until the bitter end in the Super Final, only to be denied by a buzzer beater. Second place here still represents the 25-time world champion’s best result of the season and gives her a solid foundation on which to build upon for the rest of the season as she goes in search of a fifth consecutive wave world crown.

Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing) managed to gain one position in the Double Elimination to secure the final spot on the prestigious overall podium to keep her podium streak going, which stretches back to Chile last year and spans six events as the 20-year-old continues to go from strength-to-strength. Kiefer Quintana first brought Maria Morales’ (Goya Windsurfing) comeback to an end before getting the better of Sol Degrieck (Severne / Severne Sails) in the battle for the podium with a combination of big backloops and dynamic wave riding.

Youth’s

U21 Boy’s

Carlos Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing) revelled in his home spots nuking winds to stage a brilliant comeback and deny Gregory Stathopoulos (Goya Windsurfing) the victory in Gran Canaria. Kiefer Quintana launched into perfect double forwards, one-handed backloops and stalled forwards to come out on top at his home event. Meanwhile, Stathopoulos has to settle for second place with Anton Richter (JP / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) completing the top three.

U18 Boy’s

Javi Escribano (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) completed a superb comeback in the Boy’s U18 division to claim a hugely deserved victory. On the opening day, Escribano struggled to land his backloops and pushloops, which resulted in him finishing third in the Single Elimination. However, in today’s nuclear winds, it was a different story with the 16-year-old boasting an almost 100% completion record on his jumps as he showed incredible consistency to power his way to the top of the podium, while also displaying an aggressive approach to his wave riding to earn his best result to date on the Youth World Tour.

Peter Gobisch (Duotone Windsurfing) produced a much better performance in the Super Final after suffering a snapped downhaul in the final, but couldn’t quite find enough to defend his Single Elimination crown as he missed out by just 2.1 points. The podium is completed by Bjørn Olesen (Severne / Severne Sails), who slips one place to third.

With all of the other categories now complete, tomorrow will see the conclusion of the Master’s, which promises to be another windy affair, while the waves should be more than good enough with the tide on the push in the morning. They will meet again for a last time on Sunday morning at 10am (GMT+1) for the skippers’ meeting with a first possible start at 10:30am.
