Nía Suardíaz Fights to Defend Her Reign Against Mar de Arce in the Gran Canaria Wingfoil World Cup Showdown
Gems of the beautiful east coast of Gran Canaria are setting the stage for a showdown of epic proportions in the realm of Wingfoil Freestyle. Who will snatch the title of the World Champion in the Gran Canaria GWA Wingfoil World Cup 2025? This prestigious event is poised to conclude a thrilling world tour after the unfortunate cancellation of the Brazil tour stop.
Pushing Suardíaz to defend her laurels is another Tarifa native, Mar de Arce. Fresh off a successful season including a critical victory at Fuerteventura, de Arce’s career is on a high tide. She stands firmly as the prime candidate to knock Suardíaz off the pedestal, promising an adrenaline-fuelled contest.
Adding to the suspense, 15-year-old German prodigy Marie Schlittenbauer stirred the waters with her first tour victory in Fuerteventura, making her a wildcard in the upcoming championship. Schlittenbauer could catapult her standings with another win, contingent on the performance of her prime rivals. France’s Manon Dupé, currently third in line, is another potential titan ready to unleash a surprise.
In the lead up to the ultimate showdown in Gran Canaria, both Suardíaz and de Arce have proved their mettle, gaining 2,450 and 2,290 points respectively in the 2025 world tour. Whoever claims the top spot in Gran Canaria will indeed be able to write their name in the annals of Wingfoil Freestyle history.
