The GWA Wingfoil World Tour returns to one of its most iconic and high-energy destinations: Leucate, France, for the legendary Mondial du Vent. A long-standing stop on the world tour calendar, this recurring event is a cornerstone of the Surf-Freestyle discipline, bringing together the world’s best wingfoilers in a place built for wind, waves, and world-class progression.
Set on the sun-soaked Mediterranean coast, Leucate is famous for its strong, consistent winds and vibrant beach culture. It’s a proving ground for elite athletes and an unforgettable backdrop for fans, families, and first-time spectators alike. From explosive freestyle tricks to fluid surf-style riding, this event showcases the very best of what wingfoiling has to offer.
But Mondial du Vent is more than a competition—it’s a full-scale watersports festival. Expect six days of action packed with demos, brand activations, food trucks, live music, youth activities, and a buzzing village atmosphere right on the beach. Whether you’re a hardcore rider, a casual beachgoer, or a family looking for an exciting day out, there’s something here for everyone.
Riders, this is your chance to compete on one of the most storied stages in wingfoiling. Fans, this is your invitation to experience the energy, innovation, and lifestyle of a global watersports tour—all in one unforgettable week.
Last year’s Surf-Freestyle champions set the bar high: Christopher Macdonald (USA) claimed the men’s title, while Nia Suardiaz (ESP) dominated the women’s field. Will they repeat their victories, or will a new generation of riders rise to the top?
