Finals Day at the German SUP Championship

Sunday kicked off with the semifinals early in the morning. With strong offshore winds making it tricky to stay on the left waves, riders had to be precise. Each competitor was given only three attempts in each direction, but Moritz started strong with a 7.75 on the left. On the right, he once again secured the highest score of the day with an incredible 9.05, earning the top seed going into the final.

As the day progressed, the winds calmed, and glassy conditions set the stage for the final showdown. Moritz continued his dominance, posting a combined heat total of 15.03 to walk away with the event win, marking his 12th German SUP Championship victory.
