What an event! On October 25–26, 2025, the world’s best e-foilers battled it out in Abu Dhabi – not only for the stage victory but also for the coveted world champion title of the SFT World Tour.

Among them: our Performance Rider Clemens Kresser, who claimed a strong 3rd place in a world-class field with his Aerofoils eFoil – a true statement to end the season.

The Race – Thrilling Until the Very End

The event took place at the Fahid Island Beach Club by Barbossa – a tight, technically demanding course on mirror-flat water that left no room for error.

In the quarterfinals, Clemens Kresser showed great skill and precision, advancing to the small final with confident control. There, he kept his composure and secured 3rd place, finishing behind Justin Chait (USA) and Manel Arpa (ESP) in one of the most exciting races of the season.

Clemens had already proven his top-level form earlier this year, dominating at Lake Garda with five wins against strong international competitors.

The World Champion Title – History Made

The Abu Dhabi race also marked a historic moment: the crowning of the first-ever overall World Champion of the SFT E-Foil Tour.
