Our special friend and one of the most talented, hard-working and creative photographers in the kiteboarding industry, @ydwer, has suffered a terrible injury that truly could have happened to anyone who spends time in the surf. Still without any movement in his hands and legs, this brave Dutchman has a long, uncertain journey ahead.

This time last year, the GKA Kite World Tour was in Sal, Cape Verde for the first stop of the kite-surf discipline. This is one of the most awaited wave events of the year for both riders and spectators. The real deal for experts is the pure world-class wave spot - Ponta Preta - which offers a very fast wave that can get huge with cross-offshore winds. When the spot works - it's special!
Sadly, due to the global pandemic, the event was canceled this year but as soon as the world will be back to "normal" the Tour and riders will be back to this legendary wave spot! Here are some moments from Punta Preta back in 2019 when Atlantic was delivering epic conditions 🌊 📸: @ydwer #GKAKiteWorldTour #GKAKitesuf #kitesurfing #kiteboarding #pontapreta

2020 was a year for settling in, hunkering down and for these two French Kitesurfing dynamo's training more than ever. In our new series, we'll be exploring how the GKA athletes train for competition. As the level of kitesurfing continues to explode, competitors are diving deep into diet, workouts and mental strategy. We sat down with @camille_delannoy and @capucine_delannoy for a look into their unique relationship and how they are pushing one another on and off the water.
