Beautiful sunshine, a bit of swell and almost no wind: at the halfway point of the World Cup, everyone involved was able to take a breather before the action continues tomorrow.

After the furious start to the Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt with results in all four classifications, there was one more day of rest. Sylt was bathed in beautiful sunshine, so there was plenty of time to take a closer look at the programme on land. Some riders grabbed their wave riders again and took advantage of the swell that arrived at Brandenburg beach

Robby Swift writes about one of the most entertaining days he has ever experienced in 20 years of World Cups on Sylt. Unfortunately, he fell victim to the shorebreak in his heat against Leon Jamaer on the decisive wave.

"Incredible conditions for Sylt" writes Steffi Wahl and regrets a little that she had to compete against her friend Lina Erpenstein of all people in the small final

Marc Paré was the "rider of the day", even though, unlike Marcilio Browne and Philip Köster, he has yet to win a real title. The Spaniard has been a candidate for a world title for years. He doesn't quite believe that he has reached a final for the first time on Sylt, especially after a long injury break, as he writes.

The World Cup Sylt continues tomorrow

The forecast is changeable and the wind is expected to shift to a north-easterly direction. What exactly is feasible can only be estimated tomorrow. There's a good chance of a few slalom heats - provided the swell on Brandenburg beach makes it possible to get out with foils. Waveriding and freestyle could also be possible again on Friday at the latest!

Tobi is our digital man, he looks after the surf website and social media channels and gets on everyone's nerves every morning by asking for more pictures and videos. His surfing CV includes all the famous choppy water spots: As a teenager, he went from his home in Münsterland to the Ijsselmeer or the Brouwersdam, and during his civilian service on Sylt, after countless washes on the west side, the Königshafen became his preferred spot. After studying in Kiel and Heidkate, he was supposed to go to Hamburg “only for a short time”, but this short time has lasted for over ten years and has made him a “weekend warrior”. He goes on tour with his family and camper van as often as possible, often to the Baltic Sea, SPO or Denmark, but also likes to go to Finland, Sweden or Sardinia.
