WINDSURF ALOHA CLASSIC PREDICTIONSWINDSURF ALOHA CLASSIC PREDICTIONSAfter all the drama in Sylt, the race for the world wave title is wide openwith just one event left on the calendarthe prestigious Aloha Classic. With an epic forecast looming up for the event window, it looks like were in for a spectacular season finale that could well go down in windsurf history. Weve been digging deep into the formbook, crunching the stats and calling on our team of windsurfing experts to bring you our view on how the Aloha Classic could pan out. So here goesthe Windsurf Aloha Classic predictions and as always, we are not playing it safe!Photos: Fish Bowl Diaries and John CarterHere is the event schedule from the organizers:ALOHA UPDATEWelcome all to the 2025 Aloha Classic Grand Final! Thank you all for registering this evening.Schedule:TUESDAYTraditional Welcome Ceremony9am 9.30amFirst possible heat start 11amOnce we start Tuesday then we run solid for 5 days to finish. Thats the County Permit condition. The good news is we have GREAT conditions and it will besmooth.AlohaMENBernd RoedigerMarcilio BrowneKai LennyBernd RoedigerWeve gone a little outside the box with this onebacking Bernd Roediger to take the 2025 Aloha Classic. The forecast is calling for solid, mast-high Hookipa conditions, and this is Bernds backyard. When it gets big, he shows no mercy.While some of the title contenders might need to play it safe, Bernd will be out there charging like a samurai warrior. With his full arsenal of tricks and local knowledge, if the wind and waves line up, he could easily shake up the title race with an Aloha victory!Marcilio BrowneHookipa is also Marcilio Brownes backyard, and if the waves are firing, expect the reigning world champion to throw down some serious moves. While we still think Marc Par will do enough to clinch the title in Hawaii, Marcilio wont go down without a fight.Undoubtedly one of the best sailors ever to ride Hookipa, you can count on seeing huge tweaked airs, full-power turns, goiters, and wave 360s galore. According to our number crunchers Marcilio has to win the Aloha to win the title so second place unfortunately wont be enough.Kai LennyBig Hookipa should suit Kai Lenny perfectlyand hes due for a standout performance at home. One things for sure: Kai wont be fazed by the size of the swell or the pressure of the title showdown.Always one to push boundaries, hes been pioneering his own wave board designs, and you can bet hell go all-out to tear up the Hookipa canvas with radical surf-style turns and powerful, progressive manoeuvrers.Wild CardWere backing Marc Par to do enough in Hawaii to clinch the world title, and we expect him to make at least the semifinals, if not go all the way to the final. His focus, dedication, and sailing level this year have been off the chartsand after a few tough seasons of injuries and sponsor setbacks, no one deserves a world crown more than Marc. If Marc does make it to the final then top three would guarantee the title even if Marcilio wins the event!Also keep an eye on the stacked field of challengers: Morgan Noireaux, Antoine Martin, and Ricardo Campello. Morgan is no stranger to the Maui podium and, by all accounts, is fired up for a big finish on his favourite stage.Antoine Martin is as fearless as they comehes already been training in Maui since before Sylt, fine-tuning his setup and dialling into the conditions. Meanwhile, Campello might not have logged as much Aloha prep time, but his raw talent and all-or-nothing approach mean hell be one to watch. With no pressure and plenty to prove, expect Ricardo to remind everyone why hes still among the very best wave sailors on the planet.WOMENSarah Quita OffringaSol DegriekMarine HunterSarah Quita OffringaAfter a disappointing result in Sylt, Sarah will be looking to make amends in Maui as she fights to retain her world title. Word is that both Alexia Kiefer and Lina Erpenstein wont be making the trip to Maui, a twist that could significantly reshape the title race.With her experience, local knowledge, and competitive fire, Sarah has every chance of reaching the finalsand were backing her to find that extra edge when it counts most. Sarah only has to take second in Maui to clinch the world title so no doubt she will be going all out to make the final!Sol DegriekThere is no stopping the Sol Degriek fright train as she goes from strength the strength. Taking the victory in Sylt was the highlight of her careershe even celebrated fittingly with some ice creamYes she is only 15 years old!That victory has catapulted her firmly in contention for the title race and the way she is sailing with such a fearless attitude, we dont see any reason why she cant make the finals and finish the season with a bang. And if things dont go SQs way, Sol could even end up world champion if she wins the Alohawhat a story that would be!Marine HunterWere backing Marine Hunter to make the podium in Maui. Fearless in the face of massive surf, she thrives when the waves get heavyand shes already proven her mettle by taking a win here earlier this season. Marine is the kind of sailor who can shake up the leader-board and snatch victory if the conditions play her way.Our major concern with Marine is that she pushes too hardhitting a huge lip, going all-in, and paying the price on the rocks. But thats the gamble every sailor faces at mighty Hookipa. With Marines trademark go big or go home approach, expect some serious fireworks out there!WildcardLisa WermiesterWe are backing Lisa Wermister to cause some upsets in Maui. Lisa has spent plenty of time in Maui and clocked up the hours training at Hookipa. Lisa opted out of the Sylt event so should be fresh and fired up to cause some upsets in Hawaii.We are not sure at this stage if Sarah Hauser is competing or not after being out injured most of the season. If she is match fit, then Sarah would no doubt be a contender to win the Aloha crown. Also watch out for Aussie wave sailor Jane Semen, Maria Andres, Pauline Katz and Maria Behrens who are all more than capable of featuring in the final!Duncan CoombsWeve even roped in former PWA Head Judge Duncan Coombs to give us his dream podium because if anyone knows how this should end, its the guy who used to call the shots!I would like to see Kai Lenny to finally win an Aloha and Marc Pare take the world title, so my predicted top four is:1: Kai Lenny2: Marc Pare3: Morgan Noireaux4: Bernd RoedigerI am also calling Takara Ishii, Camile Juban, Marcilio Browne and Robby Swift to go out in the semis!GET INVOLVED!That concludes our predictions for the 2025 Aloha Classicthe final event in whats been an unforgettable season. Share your own calls in the comments (its way more fun to watch when bragging rights are on the line), and join us in cheering on the worlds best as they battle for the title.
