Day 5: Marcilio Browne and Jane Seman Triumph in Chile

The 2025 Chile Surazo infernal World Cup concluded in spectacular fashion on Finals Day at Topocalma, where perfect lines, offshore wind, and high drama combined for one of the most memorable days in World Wave Tour history. Champions were crowned, rivalries reignited, and the global talent pool once again proved just how deep this sport runs.

Mens Final Browne Back in Charge

Brazils Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) reaffirmed his world champion pedigree with a composed and clinical win in Topocalmas pumping lefts. Posting a heat score of 15.14 points, Browne edged out Spains Marc Paré (Simmer / Simmer Sails) by just 0.31 of a point in one of the tightest and most high-stakes finals the tour has seen.

Event champion, Marcilio Browne: Thank you so much, [its] unbelievable, Im so happy. Such a hard event, with everybody sailing so well. I didnt have all that many expectations, and just really focused on having fun and my gear felt incredible I had all the good boards and sails. I had a lot of fun this week, so to end it here in Topocalma, my favourite break in Chile, made it extra special.

The biggest part of the heat was just getting a wave. Everyone was trying to get priority out behind the rock, and then youd come in just hoping the texture would stay in the water because sometimes it would just vacuum the wind out. You never knew. Im so happy, stoked.

Marc Paré, runner-up with 14.83 points, was all class in a performance that came within a whisper of victory: It was fun dreamy conditions. What else can we ask for, sailing in Topocalma! Super stoked with some of the waves I got. Just a shame, [that] I think towards the end, Braw got a really, really good one. Maybe I should have waited outside, but I came in with a set thinking it was going to be a good one and then it just faded out.

Frances Baptiste Cloarec (RRD / RRD Sails) took third with 11.34 points, bringing aggressive, fast rail work and explosive hacks - despite competing with a broken foot: We had amazing conditions here in Chile. We moved to Topocalma today its just perfect! The sand, the wave, the wind everything was perfect. I was on 4.0 completely overpowered ha its amazing. Thank you, Im happy with this.

Last years event champion, Guadeloupes Camille Juban (AV Boards / S2Maui) finished fourth with 10.17 points after an inspired run through the earlier rounds.
