Conditions for the final day of action were ideal for competition with sunny skies and twenty knot winds gracing the competition area.

On a busy day of finals, there were some unlikely upsets in the men's disciplines.

Judges faced the difficult task of separating the finalists in the men's big air final.

In what has been dubbed the closest heat of the year, Germany's Marius Hoppe, Posito Martinez of the Dominican Republic, Great Britain's Lewis Crathern and Hendrick Burgers of Aruba all produced impressive displays with an array of kiteloops, handle passes and off board manoeuvres.

Martinez, however, managed to secure first place, with Hoppe in second and Crathern in third.

The points in the race for the overall title are now extremely close between Crathern and Martinez, which is due to be decided tomorrow.

The men's freestyle event, meanwhile, provided the shock of the day with the Dominican favourites Ariel Corniel and Martinez both being eliminated from the competition.

As a result, Corniel now has no chance of winning the overall World Championship title, while Martinez must finish at least in fifth place to stand any chance of taking overall glory.

After the two Dominican favourites were eliminated, the men's freestyle final was contested between Britain's Tom Bridge and Italy's Gianmaria Coccoluto.

Bridge started poorly, failing to successfully complete any of his first three tricks.

Coccoluto, meanwhile, started strong as he produced a number of aesthetic skills, to enhance his lead.

As time began to run down it looked like Coccoluto had won the gold medal, however Bridge produced a sublime backside 315 to amaze the judges and secure a total of 32.79 points to narrowly beat Coccoluto, who could only manage 31.44.

In the women's big air event, there were no surprises as current world champion Bibiana Magaji of Slovakia once again displayed her ability to produce stunning tricks.

The 34-year-old eased to a deserved first place finish with some incredibly high jumps and smooth rotations that wowed both the judges and crowd.

The women's freestyle competition also produced very few surprises with Brazilian favourite Estefania Rosa showing her dominance against Magaji.

Rosa performed a number of excellent tricks to prove she was the deserved winner of the title. earning a total score of 19.16 points to defeat Magaji, off the pace with a score of 5.9.
