The world's best windsurfers have arrived in Puerto Rico for the highly anticipated 2025 Puerto Rico World Cup, a 4-Star World Wave Tour event, delivering 60% points toward the overall world rankings.

The draw also includes rising talents such as Michael Rene Friedl Morales SPAIN (#40), Vincent Beauvarlet FRANCE (#78), Charlie Rovira (#83), and Felix Bermudez PUERTO RICO (#87), each hungry to make their mark on the global stage.

The Pro Women's division will also see fierce competition, with confirmed athletes including Coco Foveau FRANCE (#5), Maria Andres SPAIN (#11), Denise Blondet PERU (#48), and Kaelyn Holmes PUERTO RICO (rookie un-ranked), all set to test their skills in the world-class conditions of Puerto Rico.
