The young guard in the spotlight at Alaçati

12/10/2023

For the 2nd year running, the Alaçati Wind Fest in Turkey also hosted the PWA Youth & Junior World Cup. In all, 94 youngsters battled it out over 5 days of fin and foil racing.

From 4 to 8 October, the 2nd PWA Youth & Junior World Cup was held in Alaçati, Turkey, alongside the Alaçati Wind Fest, an event organised by the Cagla Kubat Windsurf Academy. While there were plenty of young Turks on the starting line, there were also participants from France, the Netherlands, Belgium and even Bonaire and the Seychelles.

A total of 94 competitors took part in the U13, U15, U17 and U21 categories (girls and boys each), with separate events and rankings for fin and foil. On a traditionally windy spot, a total of 9 foil races and 4 or 5 fin races were completed.
While the Turkish delegation shone on home turf, particularly in the women's categories, one of the week's stand-out performances was that of Greek John Soukos, who won the U21 fin and foil races.
