Mistral Matulja, a third-year Naval Architecture student and member of the RITEH Sailing Team at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Rijeka, achieved a notable result at the second event of the PWA World Cup in the Windsurf Slalom Foil discipline, held in Japan.
The event in Japan was the second stop in this year’s World Cup series, following the opening event in Sylt, Germany. Competing against a 70 participants, Mistral finished 15th, having sailed several strong races throughout the event.

His result reflects his effort, dedication to windsurfing, and ability to successfully balance his university studies with the time and commitment required to compete, making this accomplishment all the more significant.
