The Qatar Airways GKA Kite World Tour Kite-Surf stop in Cape Verde 🇨🇻 has come to an end, with three days of thrilling action at the world-class wave spot, Ponta Preta. It was the perfect way to kick off the wave season in that location. 📍

Looking ahead, the next kite-surf event is scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 🇧🇷 at the beginning of August.

But before that, we have the @lordsoftram GKA Big-Air Kite World Cup France 🇫🇷 , with a holding period from April 1 to April 30.
