The PWA World Cup in New Caledonia is over and we scored two podium places for the event and for the 2017 season! Noumea is known not only for its incredible beauty and world class marine life but also for its reliable trade winds and they certainly didn’t disappoint with 6 eliminations for the men, 8 eliminations for the women and 9 foil eliminations completed over the duration of the week to provide a fitting end to the season.  After five fairly solid windy days in a row,  Marion Mortefon breaks into the overall top 3 for the first time in her career – after earning her 3rd podium finish of the year! Pierre Mortefon was back to his deadly best in New Caledonia as he closed to within just 1.6 points of the event lead heading into the final day. Unfortunately, the wind didn’t play ball, but Pierro won’t be too disappointed with that as his excellent 3rd place here sees him pip Ross Williams to the final place on the overall podium by just 10 points.

Marco Lang was on fire again as well and finished 4th in the event and 7th for the year – his best season ever so far and this is only the beginning of his career:-)  And last but not least Jordy Vonk ended 13th in the event and is ranked 11th for the season, not far away from the Top Ten! In the Foil Elimination we do have a podoum position as well with Thomas Goyard in 3rd.

Well done team – keep on rocking the red rockets!
