The top-ranked CNSA competitor was Leo Kleine, in 22nd place. The trophy presentation took place this afternoon in the race village, located on the central jetty of the Club Nàutic Sant Antoni. According to the organisation's sporting director, Enrique Mas, ‘this edition of the IWO has been a great regatta and the participants are going home satisfied with how all the details of the event have been handled’. It should be noted that, unlike other competitions on the national wingfoil circuit, which start from the shore, the sailors board a ferry to travel to the part of the bay with the best wind conditions.
The participants in this edition came from the Valencian Community, the Canary Islands, Andalusia, Castile-La Mancha, Navarre and, above all, the Balearic Islands, which is the region with the most participants. The CNSA, which organised the event together with the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation, has been promoting the sport for several years and carrying out training activities and regattas. The new sailing centre, which the organisation will open in 2026, will be a landmark on the island, where this and other wind sports will continue to be promoted. The event was sponsored by the Consell Insular d'Eivissa, Café del Mar and Baleària.
