IFCA Foiling European Championships St. Peter-Ording 2026 - Update 2

Amado Vrieswijk and Lina Erzen are in the lead after the third day

Off the coast of St. Peter-Ording, four more race rounds for the men and eight for the women were held today in winds of 10 to 16 knots. This is also the maximum number of race rounds permitted by the rules for the competitors.

There was a change in the lead among the men: Amado Vrieswijk (NB-20) earned the highest point total in the overall standings with two race wins and a second-place finish, thereby taking the lead in the race for the European Windsurf Foiling Championship title.

Fabian Wolf (GER-404) remains in second place, followed by John Soukos (GRE-198).

In the women’s competition, Slovenia’s Lina Eržen and the Norwegian sisters Tuva (GER-29) and Helle Oppedal (GER-39) engaged in thrilling duels on the North Sea.

Once again today, the Slovenian came out on top in almost every race; Lina Eržen secured seven wins in eight race rounds and is thus clearly on track for the title.

Tomorrow will be another windy day, and the European champions will be crowned by Sunday at the latest.
