Alla fine arrivò “l’uragano”… e regalo un bel weekendino con vento nucleare, onda e temperature intorno ai 5 gradi.
In virtù dei risultati fin qui ottenuti, nunzio vobis gaudium magnum habemus… un campione del mondo wave non proprio “bambino”: se la double eliminiation wave di Sylt è andata ad uno strepitoso Alex Mussolini, la corona 2009 wave va a quel “sornione” di Josh Angulo! Ma l’uomo del giorno è anche il campione del mondo slalom 2009 Antoine Albeau che finisce quarto in wave a Sylt… bionico, il francese! Tra le donne nel wave trionfa Iballa, ma non le basta la vittoria per superare nella classifica overall wave 2009, la sorella Daida: prime a pari merito!
Di seguito i risultati di tappa e overall, non prima di aver rimarcato la grande prova in Germania del “nostro” giovane conterraneo Matteo Iachino, che quest’anno alla prima esperienza in world cup, si porta a casa dallo slalom Sylt un lusinghiero 31° posto terzo degli Italiani in gara dietro a Patrick Diethelm (16°) e Andrea Rosati (26°).
