WWT / PWA Aloha Classic 2026: Three junior titles to kick things off

- Philip Köster will now compete in the Aloha Classic on Maui after all; the title race against world champion Marc Paré remains highly exciting, with a 1,200-point gap between them.
- In the women’s event, Lina Erpenstein and Maria Behrens lead the rankings; Offringa’s injury gives them a realistic chance of winning the World Championship in the wave category.
- The Aloha Classic runs until 30 October; the World Championship will then be decided at the Grand Final in Chile; the best window for wind and swell on Maui is expected this weekend.

- At the AFF contest in Calais, there were 30-knot winds, a 2–3-metre swell and waves of around 1 metre near the shore – ideal slalom conditions for Le Savoureux.  
- Despite the slalom setup, Victor Le Savoureux used the waves to deliberately perform high jumps, aided by his sturdy board and sail.  
- During a steep take-off, he lost his balance, released the equipment early to prevent damage, and described the experience as a real thrill and great fun.

- JP Freestyle Wave 2027: 17th generation, fine-tuned for early planing, a lively ride and balanced all-round performance.  
- New shape with modified rocker and V-shape, a wider tail, rear-shifted trim and closer-set thruster fins for control and manoeuvrability.  
- Performance characteristics remain consistent across all sizes; a lighter nose, optimised rails and two construction methods (S-Tec as the top-of-the-range technology, Wood Pro) for low weight.

- Despite suffering from painful tendonitis, Lisa Kloster finished second at Brouwersdam, thereby securing the European Championship title.
- Years of technical training, including manoeuvres such as the Culo and Kabikuchi, a strong preference for strong winds and a well-established competitive routine have characterised her season.
- Friendship and rivalry – for example with Maaike Huvermann – provide her with additional motivation; her focus remains on having fun, enjoying freedom and spending time with friends on the water.

- A portrait of remote windsurfing spots from Madagascar to Vietnam with outstanding conditions that can only be reached with a great deal of travelling.  
- Many spots offer exceptional wave or flat water conditions, but require physical exertion, long journeys or difficult logistics.  
- Natural phenomena such as algae in Lake George or Caribbean-like lagoons on Crete and the Glénan Islands add to the appeal of these rarely surfable locations.

- Rémi Villa is moving from his role as a racer in Martinique to become R&D and Product Manager for windsurf, foil, wing and SUP boards at Starboard in Thailand.  
- Following a diagnosis of an acoustic neuroma in 2007, Villa accepted Svein Rasmussen’s offer in 2008 and moved to Thailand for a full-time role.  
- Villa’s development philosophy: numerous prototypes, the use of CFD and a focus on controllable performance rather than just maximum speed.

- Miguel Chapuis wins his first Wave World Cup at the Tiree Wave Classic in 40–50-knot winds and mast-high waves.

- Training on La Réunion in strong winds and his victory over Marc Paré mark a new chapter in Chapuis’s career.

- Germans are regarded as chronically pessimistic, which is evident in their language and, for example, in the weather forecast with terms such as ‘Zwischenhoch’  
- This negative mindset is particularly evident among German windsurfers, who are constantly criticising the wind, waves, weather or their surroundings  
- The text urges people to complain less and to enjoy their leisure time with an open mind, friendliness and cheerfulness

- Steinlein favours the tactical iQFOiL format, trains mainly on Lake Garda with Marta Maggetti and leads a clearly structured life as an athlete.

- She receives support from Citroën, the German Armed Forces and her degree course in sustainable management; mental coaching is an integral part of her training.
