On the way to a 14th world title

03/08/2023

The women's freestyle event of the Fuerteventura Windsurf World Cup started late on Wednesday afternoon and Sarah-Quita Offringa took a big step towards a 14th world title in this discipline...
After blowing well for the last 2 days, the wind failed on Wednesday in Sotavento for the 7th day of the Fuerteventura Windsurf World Cup. But after a long afternoon of doubt, conditions finally kicked in at 6pm for the Women's Freestyle event.

Sarah-Quita Offringa was the overwhelming favourite and used her talent to take the lead. With a full repertoire and unwavering determination, Offringa put in a perfect performance in the semi-final against Lina Erpenstein to secure the best score of the event. In the final against Oda Johanne, Sarah-Quita Offringa sailed with confidence, only missing a pasko attempt in a near-perfect performance. At 32, Offringa is on course for her 14th freestyle world title and 21st overall, confirming her status as a true windsurfing legend.

Although she couldn't stop Offringa in the final, Oda Johanne secured a top 2 spot in the single elimination, while Maaike Huvermann finished 3rd in the single elimination, just behind Lina Erpenstein, who is more used to expressing herself in the waves.
For Thursday, the weather forecast remains uncertain with a Canarian trade wind that has clearly decided to take a break after blowing almost every day for the last week...
