Poetto Beach saved its best for last, with strong onshore winds and challenging waves to decide the climax of the 2022 Formula Kite World Championships in Cagliari, Sardinia. The past six days have produced all kinds of conditions and have made the battle for the men’s and women’s world titles a true test of all-round ability. Daniela Moroz from the USA made it look easy as she foiled to victory in the one and only race in the women’s final. Slovenian Toni Vodisek crashed out of his first finals race, with Max Maeder from Singapore pulling all square for race two. This time Maeder crashed and Vodisek seized his chance, winning the world title with a 10-metre big-air celebration moments after he crossed the finish line.
