Published 20th April 2019 by Andrea Susanne Opielka

The Mondial du Vent festival at Leucate in southeast France stages the opening round of the much anticipated first round of the newly amalgamated GKA Kite World Tour’s Freestyle discipline, from 20 – 25th April.

Over the coming season freestyle riders will compete at at least six events in the battle to become GKA Freestyle World Champion.

It’s always important to make a strong start and as we await improving conditions on this first day, let’s take a look at the registered riders below.
