Double angle meets windsurfing elite

Citroën is the title partner of the 40th Windsurf World Cup on Sylt for the first time this year. From September 27, the Brandenburg beach on the North Sea island will once again become the biggest windsurfing event in the world for ten days. The French company's involvement is long-term and they will be prominently represented with a large number of their vehicles: From the urban mobility solution Ami to the Camper Holidays and SUV C3 Aircross to the ë-C3. All models will be available for test drives directly on site. Citroën will also be providing additional vehicles as VIP shuttles.

Also taking part are the two top kitesurfers Linus Erdmann and Finn Flügel, who will accompany the water sports event on their social media channels, among other things. Citroën Germany recently recruited the two talents as new brand ambassadors.

The renowned Citroën Windsurf World Cup is the only event on the PWA (Professional Windsurfers Association) World Tour with "Super Grand Slam" status. This is because all three World Cup windsurfing disciplines are held on Sylt as part of the World Championship: wave, freestyle and slalom. Around 100 participants from around 25 nations will compete for the podium places in the most prestigious competition on the tour with spectacular jumps and turns. The changeable weather conditions, for which the island of Sylt is known, provide particular excitement. Past winners have included windsurfing legends such as Robby Naish, Björn Dunkerbeck and Philip Köster, who will be competing again this year. Around 200,000 visitors are expected this year. (aum)
