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!

Prevailing winds

The kitesurfing capital of Europe has grown in immense popularity after it became a popular windsurfing hub in the 1980s. Having retained its old world charm, it's the infamous Levante and Poniente winds that really entertain all the wind seekers. The Levante blown from the land, cross offshore from the left and can be strong, up to 40 knots and often blows for five days straight. The Poniente is the more mellow wind, cross onshore from the right. It's cooler and more frequent in summer and can blow between 15 - 25 knots for a two or three days in a row. This event has often seen both winds create intense competition conditions!

Water conditions

Although Tarifa can get good wave conditions in the winter months, in the summer, expect wind chop that provides superb ramps to boost off. Landings can be tricky in the gustier, stronger Levante winds and choppy waters, but it's all part of the game in separating the best from the rest!

Competition history

This is the first time the GKA Kiteboarding World Tour 'Air Games' have landed in Tarifa. In the previous three years that the Tarifa Pro has staged the strapless event, Airton Cozzolino has won three from three!
