Conditions were challenging - shifty winds and choppy water made things difficult for the wing foilers. Races were held over three days, as always consisting of a combination of qualifying rounds and a final medal series (finals).

On Sunday, Alessandro Tomasi (ITA) won ahead of Thomas Proust (FRA) and Mathis Ghio (FRA). In the women’s competition, Yana Li (CHN) took first place ahead of Vaina Picot (FRA) and Yinuo Dong (CHN).
