WWT / PWA Wave World Cup Final in Chile 2026
48 men and 13 women are competing in the main field of the grand final of the combined WWT / PWA Wave World Tour.
The final Windsurf World Cup of the 2026 season will take place from 14 to 29 November 2026 at the Matanzas spot in Chile. 48 men and 13 women are entered in the main field. Four women are from Germany: Lina Erpenstein, Maria Behrens, Sybille Bode and Trine Gobisch. No women from Austria or Switzerland are competing.
In the men’s event, Philip Köster and Anton Richter, as well as Peter and Hannes Gobisch, are competing. Once again, there are no Austrians or Swiss taking part. In the Pro Junior Boys age group, it is already certain that Anton Richter and Hannes Gobisch will finish in the top four. Apart from them, the only other competitors in this category are Ryu Nogushi from Japan and Jake Ghiretti from the USA. In the Junior Girls category, Trine Gobisch can hope to finish at least second. Apart from her, the only other competitor in this age group is Sol Degrieck.
Lina Erpenstein leads the world rankings by the narrowest of margins ahead of Marine Hunter from France. Maria Behrens is in third place. Sarah-Quita Offringa, the winner of the World Cup in Tenerife, will be absent from the event in Chile, just as she was in Maui.
One thing is certain. Philip Köster, currently second in the world rankings, can no longer catch up with Marc Paré Rico, who tops the rankings. Even with a win, Köster could only reach 33,000 points, as only the four best results are counted towards the overall total. Marc already has 34,500 points.
Bernd Roediger, however, can still make up a significant amount of ground. He is currently in third place with 27,000 points. A win in Chile would take him to 34,500 points. A second place or better would secure the title for Marc Paré. If Marc Paré performs worse, he will not be able to collect any additional points. This could then lead to a points tie, and according to the rules we are aware of, a tie-break would decide the title despite the tie.
