WindSurf – Chile World Cup
The 2025 Chile 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.
Men’s Final – Browne Back in Charge
Brazil’s Marcilio Browne reaffirmed his world champion pedigree with a composed and clinical win in Topocalma’s pumping lefts. Posting a heat score of 15.14, Browne edged out Spain’s Marc Paré Rico by just 0.31 points in one of the tightest and most high-stakes finals the tour has seen.
Marc Paré Rico, runner-up with 14.83, was all class in a performance that came within a whisper of victory:
France’s Baptiste Cloarec took third with 11.34, bringing aggressive, fast rail work and explosive hacks
Guadeloupe’s Camille Juban finished fourth with 10.17 after an inspired run through the earlier rounds. [Final quote to come.
Women’s Final – Seman Soars to Victory
Australia’s Jane Seman stole the show with a fearless, high-flying performance that earned her the win with 11.36, launching into a non-stop aerial assault in the perfect Topocalma walls.
She was then mobbed by Team Australia in a wild beach celebration.
Spain’s Alexia Kiefer Quintana, who placed second for the second straight year in Chile with 10.96, showed both class and style
Spain’s María Morales Navarro, still under 21 and competing in both the Women’s and Pro Junior fields, finished fourth with 7.43
Pro Junior Boys – Richter Rises to the Top
Germany’s Anton Richter delivered a breakout win in the Pro Junior division with a 12.50, narrowly defeating Saint Martin’s Kymani Laurent (12.07) in a final that was packed with flair, power, and high stakes.
Laurent — in his second straight Chile final — showed huge progression, style, and control in the punchy lefts. The USA’s Jake Ghiretti (10.77) and Norway’s Tobias Bjørnaa (9.93) also impressed, solidifying themselves as stars of the future.
The Road Ahead
With rankings now shaken and world title ambitions sharpened, the Chile World Cup Finals Day set a new benchmark for performance, drama, and global representation. From Browne’s poise under pressure, to Seman’s fearless flying, to Richter’s rising-star moment — the World Wave Tour’s future looks brighter than ever.
