PWA/WWT World Tour: Marc Paré and Sarah-Quita Offringa are world champions! - Aloha champions make history

The 41st edition of the Aloha Classic 2025 ended with world titles for Offringa and Paré, while Morgan Noireaux secured his fourth Aloha Classic title with an impressive performance, equalling the historic record of Robby Naish, who also triumphed four times between 1986 and 1991. In perfect Ho'okipa conditions, world champion Sarah-Quita Offringa also claimed her fourth Aloha victory in the prestigious final of the Unified World Wave Tour. While Offringa won her third wave world title in a row, this is Marc Paré's first world championship. The 27-year-old Spaniard is the first new name at the top of the rankings after ten years of Köster, Fernandez and Browne. Brawzinho was also still in the World Championship race on Maui, but would have had to win the event to challenge Paré for the title after his victory on Sylt. Paré was eliminated in the semi-finals, but Brawzinho only managed third place in the final. The excitement on the beach was intense. The season finale offered the spectators, who had gathered along the entire beach, powerful waves, strong trade winds and world-class wave windsurfing.

Historic victory for Noireaux

With a score of 14.90, Morgan Noireaux prevailed over his competitors in the men's final and celebrated his fourth victory at the prestigious Aloha Classic. The Hawaiian, who had already triumphed in 2014, 2015 and 2017, put in an impressive performance in the powerful waves and strong trade winds. Bernd Roediger took second place with 13.40 points, followed by Marcilio Browne with 11.96 points and Robby Swift with 10.93 points. With this success, Noireaux finally joins the ranks of the Ho'okipa legends.

Offringa dominates the women's competition

In the women's final, Sarah-Quita Offringa won with 11.50 points and also secured her fourth Aloha Classic title after 2016, 2019 and 2023. The athlete from Aruba thus equalled the record set by Angela Cochran, who triumphed four times between 1989 and 2000. Particularly noteworthy: Cochran herself was again in this year's final and finished second with 10.53 points - an impressive performance four decades after her first victory, which underlines the timeless character of the Ho'okipa legends. Lisa Wermeister and Marine Hunter completed the podium with 8.57 and 7.90 points respectively.

New and old world champions

The world champion titles for the 2025 season were also awarded during the event. Marc Paré from Spain secured the men's crown, becoming the first new world champion in a decade - a symbolic generational change in the wave. Sarah-Quita Offringa underlined her status as the most complete and dominant female windsurfer of the modern era with her fifth world title. In the Masters competition, Josh Stone won the final with 12.36 points ahead of Keith Teboul (10.86 points), Francisco Goya (9.66 points) and Paul Karaolides (7.97 points). The world champion title in this category went to Michael Friedl, who celebrated his second Masters world champion title in a row.

The legends of Ho'okipa

In the 41-year history of the Aloha Classic, only four athletes have ever won four full titles - two men and two women who have each shaped a generation. Robby Naish dominated the early days of professional windsurfing with his victories in 1986, 1987, 1989 and 1991, while Morgan Noireaux represents the modern era with his successes in 2014, 2015, 2017 and now 2025. In the women's category, Angela Cochran characterised the pioneering era with her titles in 1989, 1990, 1991 and 2000, while Sarah-Quita Offringa dominates the present with her victories in 2016, 2019, 2023 and 2025. This year's edition of the Aloha Classic thus impressively combined the past and future of windsurfing at its spiritual home.
