July 2025 IFCA Youth & Junior Europeans Croatia
This year Tycho also wanted to go for the European title on both Fin and the Foil and so we made it a family holiday to the beautiful Croatia.
Viganj is a real hidden Gem for windsurfers, relaxed, friendly people, solid wind and beautiful scenery. The competition was amazing with more then 85 Youth & Juniors from all over Europe. In the U17 boys Tycho had to compete against 17 other boys, which made it a big challenge.
On the Foil Tycho won the first elimination but elimination two and three the wind was not in his favor and he became second. The last day the conditions were more in his favor and he could potentially still win the event, but after crossing the start line the wind dropped and the race was cancelled. Vice European Champion is not bad after all.
On the Fin Tycho had one over early, but the others eliminations went very good with competitive racing.
June 2025 Bonaire PWA Youth & Junior Slalom World Cup
Bonaire was again this year the home race for Tycho. Two weeks after the Aruba Hi-Winds the PWA tour visited our lovely island Bonaire. This year both Fin as well as Foil took place at Lac Bay. The wind was perfect five days long only patches of Sargassum could spoil some race time in the afternoons. At the end of the event 15 heats on the Foil and 20(!) heats on the Fin were completed, an all time record.
Tycho again competed in the Under 21 category and ended again on the 4th place (of the 12 competitors).
On the Fin all heats were won by Tycho, making it not very exiting but solid...
May 2025 Aruba Hi Winds Youth & Junior Slalom World Cup
Aruba High-Winds is a unique events because of its size in the carribean region. A beautiful windsurf location called the blue highway, multiple disciplines like windsurfing, Windsurf foiling, Wing Foiling and kitesurfing. Every year they stand out with great coverage on livestream supported by great footage of the 'Dutch Dronegods'.
On the Fin Tycho has won all eliminations except one, resulting in a first place in the category FIN under 17 Boys.
This year Tycho decided to compete in the under 21 category on the Foil to learn and gain experience racing with the 'Big Boys'. The racing was indeed much harder and challenging but making it even more satisfying ending high in the midfield on the 4th place. On the third day 3rd in the ranking made him even glance at the podium.
