The PWA World Cup in Sylt sponsored by Mercedes in Germany is one of the highlights towards the end of the season and every rider is happy to return to the beaches of the popular island as it normally provides great conditions. This year it was no different: Already on the first day the wind was strong enough to run the wave conditions and the whole JP team did well, with 3 riders in the top-10 – Robby Swift in 5th, Antoine Martin and Leon Jaemer in 9th. The freestyle discipline was to be decided in Sylt and JP rider Amado Vrieswijk was leading the rankings before the event and in the single elimination he proofed to be a worthy champion with the highest ranking of the whole event! In the end Amado finished 2nd in the annual ranking followed by Yentel Caers in 3rd and Steven Van Broeckhoven in 8th. In Slalom our rides made a next step up in their performance with Malte Reuscher finishing as best JP rider with Mateus Isaac, Ethan Westera and Sebastian Kornum hot on his heels. They also showed to be on the leading edge of foil board development as Sebastian Kornum finished on the podium of the first PWA foil race which was organized as a test on Sylt.
