Event and World Champions crowned in sunny Sylt - PWA Grand Slam


With no further racing completed Marco Lang walks away with his first ever victory on the world tour after storming to victory in both of the eliminations completed, which sees the Austrian rise to eighth in the overall rankings. Meanwhile, Germany's Vincent Langer claims a superb second place in his first event of the year, while Britain's Ross Williams completes the podium for the third event in a row, which sees him cement third place in the overall rankings with his closest rival Pierre Mortefon only managing to finish 14th here.


Iballa Moreno's tense wait was finally brought to an end at 12pm with the sailors officially being released, which means she not only finishes the season as the world champion, but she has now won the world title for the last four years running.
Daida Moreno finishes 2017 as the vice-world champion after a third place here, while Sarah-Quita Offringa completes the overall podium for the second consecutive season after claiming second place here.
Victor Fernandez did everything in his power to stop Philip Köster winning the world title by winning the event, but the German still claimed third place here, which sees him complete a miraculous comeback this season after a major knee injury to be crowned the world champion for the fourth time in his career, while Marcilio Browne completes the overall podium.
Gollito Estredo completed a phenomenal event for the Fanatic and NorthSails Windsurf team as he defended his single elimination crown to win an incredible eighth world title ahead of Amado Vrieswijk and Jacopo Testa, who breaks into the overall top three for the first time in his career.
Meanwhile, in the third foil exhibition of the season Julien Quentel claimed the top place on the podium ahead of Sebastian Kornum and Jordy Vonk.
With the prize giving complete the curtain was drawn closed on the biggest windsurfing event of the year, which saw some of the best conditions ever in Sylt. The tour now takes a 5-6 week break before the final event of the season in New Caledonia, which will see the men's and women's slalom fleets in action once more.
