GKA KITE-SURF WORLD CUP | CAPE VERDE | DAY 4 | WAVE ACTION AT KITE BEACH

Today we saw all the top seeds hit the water for the quarter finals on Day 4 of the GKA Kite-Surf World Cup - Cape Verde 2020. Riders we’re battling it out in tough conditions for a place in the next round. We’ve had less than ideal conditions yet again for the quarter finals here at Kite Beach, but we’re looking for the best overall rider in the world, and that means being able to score big in mushy waves, not just clean breaks. Ponta Preta looks promising for the next days so stay tuned because we might finally score some perfect right-handers.

That's a wrap for today! Unfortunately, despite an optimistic forecast, the strong wind conditions that we need did not materialise today. The organisation are now focusing on Friday and Saturday as possible competition days, as it looks like the strong levante will be kicking in.

Get ready as once the wind is here, the action will be spectacular!

The Hydrofoil competition kicked-off the action at the Qatar Airways GKA Big Air World Championships in fine stye at Bibo Beach on day six of this 16 day waiting period. A strong 25 knot Poniente wind powered the riders for an incredible show all Sunday afternoon.
After a full day big action, Charles Brodel became the official Qatar Airways GKA Bi Air Hydrofoil World Champion!

There is still plenty more to come as Tuesday is seen as the next possible day of competition for the strapless discipline, and for women’s twin-tip.
Once again, you will be able to enjoy the whole event on our livestream, which you can follow on our website, Facebook or Youtube.
