STORY: Switzerland dominated the final Wingfoil World Tour event of 2020 with victories for Balz Mueller and Eva Nora.

The competition, held between December 27 and 30 in Tarifa, Spain attracted 19 men and four women from nine different countries.

In strong conditions gusting up to 35 knots of south wind Mueller won the men's event, beating second placed Titouan Galea of New Caledonia and fellow Swiss Maxime Chabloz who finished third.

The women's final was an all Swiss affair between Eva Nora and Laura Rudolph, which Nora won with a more varied display.
