Top Kiwi kitesurfer Marc Jacobs has returned home after another top finish on the world tour.

The 21-year-old will spend two weeks off resting and training in the Bay of Plenty before the next round in Brazil after finishing fourth at the German World Cup round in St Peter Ording.

'I'm just home to pick up my new boards and to chill out a bit,” the Switch-sponsored rider explained.

'It's been a pretty hectic few months and getting some down-time now will put me in a good space to end the season on a big note.”

Jacobs maintained his fourth-placing in the world rankings with another powerful performance, the highlight coming when he beat Dutch rider Kevin Langeree in the final rounds.

The judges were impressed by the commitment in all of Jacob's tricks:

'He had so much more power than Kevin and he managed to keep his kite much lower to the water – he deserved the win,” says judge Carlos Saez.

But he couldn't break through into the top three with Italian Alberto Rondina, Spain's Alex Pasto and another Dutch rider, Youri Zoon, all finishing ahead of him.

Zoon went on to win his fifth World Cup in a row, dazzling Pastor in the final and virtually wrapping up his first world championship.

'I couldn't be happier – it's hard to believe,” Zoon said.

'I've been fighting for so long now and had my knee injuries that have held me back for a while but now I've finally I got it!”

Spain's Gisela Pulido also wrapped up the women's world title with another comprehensive win.
