Jordy Vonk places fourth in first competition of 2025
š Jordy Vonk Launches 2025 Season with Purpose at the PWA World Cup in Guadeloupe
The 2025 PWA World Cup wind foiling season began with high energy and strong winds in beautiful Guadeloupe, where top athletes from around the globe gathered for the season's opening event. Among them was Dutch wind foiler Jordy Vonk, who impressed with a fourth-place finish, setting a strong tone for the year ahead.
But Jordy's journey to Guadeloupe was about more than sport.
Thanks to the support of his event sponsor, Soul Surfer, Jordy was not only able to travel to the Caribbean, but to do so in alignment with a cause close to his heart: protecting our oceans. Soul Surfer, a brand rooted in sustainability and surf culture, partnered with Jordy with a shared visionāperformance with purpose.
In an inspiring gesture, Jordy donated his prize money to the Plastic Soup Surfer, an initiative dedicated to tackling plastic pollution in our waterways. This act underscores his belief that protecting our natural playgrounds is just as important as competing on them.
"It's about more than results," Jordy shared. "Our oceans are what make our sport possible. Through this partnership and contribution, we're standing up for the future of our environment."
With his strong result, and even stronger message, Jordy Vonk demonstrated that athletes can be powerful advocates for change. His collaboration with Soul Surfer and support for the Plastic Soup Surfer is a shining example of how the windsurfing community is coming together to protect what matters most.
Together, we ride not only for victoryābut for the planet. š
