Day five of competition saw Ponta Preta turn back on to deliver mast high waves and hammering wind to complete the remaining heats of the double elimination, and secure an event winner.

After defeating Kauli Seadi twice, Josh Angulo made sure the Cabo Verde crown returned to its homeland, winning the event for the second time in its history. Kauli Seadi produced some inspirational sailing to finish in second, Kevin Pritchard took third, and Marcilio Browne climbed the ranks of the double elimination to finish in fourth.
