Cold Hawaii switched on Sunday. Klitmøller served ~60 kn wind and ~8 ft North Sea walls. Orca fins topped the podium with Jeremy Burlando P1 and Lorenzo Casati P2. Here are full results, highlights, who we spotted on Orca, and why fin choice mattered when the ocean turned to chaos.
Key takeaways
- Winners: Jeremy Burlando (1st) and Lorenzo Casati (2nd) — both on Orca fins. Stijn Mul completed the podium (3rd).
- Conditions: Side-onshore, stacked chop, gusts peaking near 60 kn, sets around 8 ft on shifting sandbars.
- Spotted on Orca: Luca Ceruti, Nathan Texier, Jeremy Burlando, Lorenzo Casati, Jason van der Spuy, Cohan van Dijk, Timo Boersema, Kimo Verkerk, Giel Vlugt, Lucas Gramstrup.
- Why it matters: In heavy cross-chop, kiteboarding fins that grip and release cleanly convert speed into height and keep landings tracking — exactly what big air fins are built for.
Official results
1) Jeremy Burlando — 36.63
2) Lorenzo Casati — 35.43
3) Stijn Mul — 33.63
Champions on Orca Fins
Both Burlando and Casati rode Orca Fins in the final. In 50–60 kn side-onshore mess, extra edge hold and a clean, early release let them keep the kite lower, load later, and land at speed without the board skipping.
Highlights
- Consistency wins: Burlando stacked makes while others fought white-water touchdowns.
- Super-late loops paid: Fast entries + locked rail produced the day’s biggest scores.
- Outer bar = better kickers: Broken peaks with downwind shoulders gave the cleanest run-outs.
- Depth of field: Multiple loop specialists pushed into the mid-30s despite brutal water state.

When it nukes, edge + release isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s the difference between a loop you ride out and a loop you don’t.
Why Orca fins were clutch today
- Edge hold through side-chop → keep the kite lower, load later, no tail skip.
- Clean, early release → convert entry speed into height; less scrub, more line tension.
- Landing stability → track straight on touchdown, then re-edge without spin-outs.
