Tenerife PWA event cancelled

07/06/2023

Following the announcement of the cancellation of the slalom event in Bol, Croatia (see our article of 24 May 2023), the wave event scheduled for Tenerife in the Canary Islands has now been removed from the 2023 calendar, according to an official statement from the PWA World Tour.

After being postponed last year, this is the second year in a row that the El Medano venue will not host the event. This time the reason is the recent very close local elections, which have left the local organisers with no visibility on the budgets that will be allocated to this event.
As the 5th event (with 5-star status) of the PWA IWT Unified Wave Tour season, the cancellation of this event is not good news for anyone, as the only remaining major events (also with 5-star status) are Pozo in Gran Canaria, Sylt in Germany and Hookipa in Maui. In other words, for those who were absent in Japan and Fiji (especially Thomas Traversa), their dreams of a world title are over...

Adding to this bad news is a rather unusual 'hesitation' that has been evident for a few days now (and which some of you may have noticed!) at the end of the Fiji Surf Pro. In fact, more than 48 hours after the event and at the time of writing on Wednesday 7 June at 13:00 (Paris time), there is still no official summary of the final day of competition at Cloudbreak on either the PWA World Tour or IWT Wave Tour websites. For the time being, we'll have to make do with a few photos of the prize-giving ceremony posted on social networks, without full official results apart from the top 3..
