Si conclude oggi la maratone di Sylt e dei suoi 10 giorni di gare, con solamente tre giorni di vento, un tabellone single per il Freestyle, uno per lo Slalom e a malapena un round per il Wave maschile. L’attesa del vento è stata ingannata con un bel po’ di gare di Sup e una Freestyle Tow-in session.
Gollito Estredo grazie alla sua vittoria del Single Elimination di ieri e al passo falso di Kiri Thode, si aggiudica il suo sesto titolo mondiale.
Per lo slalom, con un solo tabellone portato a termine, Andrea Rosati ottiene il suo miglior posto in carriera in un evento PWA, sesto classificato.
Il prossimo evento PWA sarà dal 18 al 26 ottobre in Francia a La Torche con il Wave e lo Slalom.

DAVIDOFF COOL WATER SYLT WORLD CUP
Day 10: Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo crowned world champion for sixth time, whilst Arnon Dagan secures maiden event victory
The final day of the 2014 DAVIDOFF Cool Water Sylt PWA Super Grand Slam saw the light winds return, meaning the final action of the event was another SUP Race. With no more competition being possible today – Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo (Fanatic / North / MFC) – was crowned the PWA Freestyle World Champion for the sixth time in his illustrious career, after his victory in the single elimination yesterday. Meanwhile, Arnon Dagan (RRD / NeilPryde), celebrated his maiden victory on the PWA Slalom World Tour after a nail biting week of waiting.
At 3:30pm the official prize giving was held as the winners were crowned in front of a packed out beach to close the curtain on another great event in Sylt. After the prize giving we caught up with the winners:
PWA: Gollito, how does it feel to win your sixth world title?
Gollito: “It’s a dream to win my sixth world title. It feels amazing, I never expected it in my life. I’m really happy to have won again and be back at the top. I hope I can continue like this in the future and I will keep training as hard as I can over the winter to make sure I can keep up.”
PWA: Thanks Gollito and congratulations again.
Next up we spoke to Arnon Dagan, who claimed victory for the first time in his career:
PWA: What are you doing before the next event? And in-between La Torche and New Caledonia?
“I’m pretty busy, first of all I’ll be going to RRD for a meeting and after that I’ll go a train in Croatia with Enrico Marotti. After La Torche I’ll be going to Maui for some sail testing with NeilPryde.”
PWA: Thanks Arnon and congratulations.
