Nearly 400 riders took part in the DefiWing Challenge in Gruissan.
This year, 150 more wingfoilers took part in the event than last year, with several races including a 40-kilometers marathon event in the form of the DefiWind Challenge.
Around 370 riders competed, all on the best race-specific wingfoil equipment, and SIC was there to represent them.
SIC Junior Athlete Anaé Rio from France brought home the gold in the U16 division with a remarkable finish. Anaé has only been wing foiling for a couple of years, but her strong sailing, windsurfing, and surfing background made it an easy progression.
SIC Global Athlete Raz Sayre from the U.S. made his first appearance at the Defi and placed 47 out of 370 participants.
These are darn good results for a first-timer competing against such an elite wing foil group. And he did it all on his Slash foils, Raptor V3 wing, and SIC foil board.
Raz stepped into the competitive scene for SIC for the first-time last year at the SIC Gorge Paddle Challenge, where he placed 3rd in the racecourse and 5th in the downwind race.
This year, you will find Raz racing in Europe and in the U.S. showcasing SIC foiling gear.
