Day 10: Sarah-Quita Offringa wins for first time in Tenerife, while Marc Paré goes back-to-back to level up world title race battle
With no wind on the last day of the 2025 Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano Windsurf Grand Slam that meant that the results from the Men’s and Women’s Wave Single Eliminations remain unchanged, which means Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) and Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC) are officially your 2025 event champions in Tenerife.
Wave
Women’s
There aren’t many locations where Sarah-Quita Offringa hasn’t tasted victory, but at the start of the event, Tenerife remained one of those rare destinations and last year the 27-time world champion even missed out on the podium, which is an even rarer occurrence. However, Offringa is very good at cracking codes and she managed to figure out the solution to unlock the top spot on the podium in Tenerife, which means she extends her lead at the top of the overall rankings heading into latter half of the season as the 34-year-old looks to win a fifth consecutive Wave world title.
Alexia Kiefer Quintana (Duotone Windsurfing) continues her hot streak of form which now means she has podiumed at her last seven events. The 20-year-old had a genuine shot at the event title here as she produced some of the best turns of the event, but crucially couldn’t land either of her two backloop attempts in the final. After Tenerife, occupies second place in the overall rankings with the Spaniard trailing Offringa by 1500 points.
Sol Degrieck (Severne / Severne Sails) massively improves her result from 2024 here when she finished ninth, while this time out the 15-year-old sailed herself all the way into the final before securing the last spot on the podium.
This event will be etched into Line Bang Wittrup’s (Goya Windsurfing) memory forever after the 22-year-old qualified for her maiden final on the World Tour. The Dane impressed with her wave riding – earning the second highest wave score of the event in the Round of 16 – 7 points – before she eventually secured her best result to date – fourth.
Meanwhile, Pauline Katz (Severne / Severne Sails) and Justyna Sniady (Flikka / North Sails) share fifth place with both women missing out on a place in the final by less than half a point each.
Men’s
Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails / MFC) started the event as the defending champion and the Spaniard walks away from the 2025 edition as the champion again as he successfully defends his event title. Last year Tenerife still had a strong lineup, but as a 4-star event there were some big names missing, so this year’s victory – as 5-star event – will feel all the sweeter. Paré landed the highest scoring jump of the contest in the final – 8.27 points – for a massive double forward, which was made all the more impressive due to the light winds, while he also linked together the third highest wave score of the contest. Paré was meticulous in his preparation before and during the event and now gets his just reward as he moves level on 25,385 points with Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) in the battle for the world title race.
Victor Fernandez’s (Duotone Windsurfing) record in Tenerife is second to none with three previous victories here (2015, 2016 & 2018), while he came into this year’s edition having made the podium here every year since 2012 – when there has been an event here. The Spaniard extends that record with a superb second place here as he once again showed why he has been so successful here over the last 13 years. Fernandez is currently ranked fourth in the overalls.
Marino Gil (JP / NeilPryde / MFC) was able to hunt out the ramps he needed to still consistently land double forwards to better his result by one place compared to last year as the Spaniard earns his first Tenerife podium. The 22-year-old finishes the event with two out of the top three jump scores and walks away from the Canaries leg of the tour with two podiums – the only sailor to do so.
Reigning world champion, Marcilio Browne, successfully negotiated his way into the final, but things didn’t quite go the Brazilian’s way this time round as the ocean didn’t provide him with the double forward ramp he needed to force his way into the podium positions, so Browne finishes Tenerife in fourth place.
Philip Köster (Severne / Severne Sails) started the event extremely strongly as he set the two highest scoring heats on day six to look like the man everyone else had to beat. However, the five-time world champion was eliminated in the semifinals, so has to settle for a joint fifth place finish here, which sees him ranked third in the overalls.
Antoine Martin (Quatro / Goya Windsurfing / MFC) also finishes in joint fifth place, which is the 31-year-olds best result to date in Tenerife.
Elsewhere, Miguel Chapuis (Flikka / North Sails) qualified for the semifinals for the second event running and he shares joint seventh with Liam Dunkerbeck (Duotone Windsurfing).
The top ten is completed by Alessio Stillrich (Bruch Boards / Bruch Boards) and Moritz Mauch (Simmer / Simmer Sails), who claim back-to-back top ten results, Julian Salmonn (Naish / Naish Sails) and Dieter van der Eyken (Severne / Severne Sails), who finishes the event as the only sailor to earn a wave in the excellent range – 8.12 points.
The official Wave prize giving ceremony will be held at 8pm (GMT+1) at the Playa Surf CBbC Hotel Tenerife El Médano.
