The 4th Kite-Surf stop of the season is coming up soon! Let’s take a look at how the title scenarios are looking so far:

In the women’s division, @moonawhyte secured two victories this season. Current World Champion, @capucine_delannoy , clinched her first win in Sylt, Germany, in a pure strapless-freestyle format. Whyte chose to skip the event in Germany, using it as a discard. That decision helped propel Delannoy to the top of the rankings.
 
On the men’s side, @matchu_lopes secured two event wins this season. However, his recent 9th-place finish in Germany proved to be a setback, dropping him to the second spot in the rankings. Currently, @airtoncozzolino is leading the rankings, followed by @pedromatos in third place.

Let’s get ready to go big in Dakhla!

The long right-hand point-break at @westpointdakhla , on the edge of the Sahara desert, is the setting for the penultimate Kite-Surf stop on the Qatar Airways GKA Kite World Tour. Are you ready for an epic event?

Everything is still to play for in the race for the world titles after the lead in the men’s and women’s rankings changed hands last month after the third Kite-Surf contest of the year on the German North Sea island of Sylt. Anything can happen!

GKA Kite-Surf World Cup Prea 2019

Preá is a three to four drive north of Fortaleza on the coastline of Ceará in northeastern Brazil. It’s a famously windy spot and it blows practically non-stop here during the season with pumping conditions pretty much on tap.

Prevailing winds

The further north you travel in Ceará the stronger the winds get and that’s certainly the case in Preá. It blows non-stop at at least 25 knots from the east or northeast (from the left) between July and January and is at its strongest from September to November.

Water conditions

Preá is a tidal spot with flat sections close to the beach, chop on the outside and a range of wave spots nearby that work better in the afternoons once the wind is up.

Competition history

The GKA has yet to visit Brazil but the first event is going down in November!
