Just like eight years ago, Nicolas Akgazciyan stole the freestyle show in an indoor windsurfing pool. The French sailor rotated through a trademark switch chachoo and a big shaka 360 to win his division. Sarah-Quita Offringa stomped a stylish one-handed spock and a super quick double flaka to conquer the Women's freestyle contest.

In the fast Slalom races, Ben Proffitt showed why he is also one of the best windsurfers in the world. In the Polish National Stadium, he took a brilliant 2-1 victory over Akgazciyan. Lena Erdil successfully defended her better seeding against Zofia Klepacka, with an emphatic 2-0 victory.

The Jump division delivered massive airs and wipeouts. Thomas Traversa opened with an incredible tweaked tabletop, before backing it up with a bolt upright forward, to defeat Ricardo Campello. Amanda Beenen won her final with a big forward loop.

Meanwhile, the Red Bull Speed Challenge crowned Taty Frans as the fastest man of the windsurfing pool, as he raced down the pool through two speed gates t 45.7km/h, that is almost 25 knots.
