The GWA Wingfoil World Cup Fortaleza kicked off today with perfect conditions on the shores of Ceara’s capital city, with 25 men and 10 women of 9 different nationalities registered to compete at this penultimate GWA event of the year.
It was a spectacular day of racing for the final moments of the GWA Wingfoil World Tour in Dakhla, Morocco, where we crowned two new champions.
Day 4 of the GWA Wingfoil World Cup in Dakhla was all about the racing action, with solid 20-25 knot wind conditions, the riders were fully focused on speed and control during each race.
The wind conditions finally improved in the early afternoon for Day 3 of action in Dakhla, Morocco, where the full Surf/Freestyle Elimination was completed for both men and women.
Dakhla has been serving up some incredible conditions for the GWA Wingfoil World Cup, Morocco this week, as we advanced further in both the Men's and Women's Eliminations.

With the promise of finishing two more rounds, it was still all to play for on the last day of the GWA Wingfoil Race European Championship. In the morning, Lake St. Moritz greeted us with the usual reflection of its beautiful surroundings. This may well have gone unnoticed by our competitors however, who with the end of the event in sight, were getting amped up for some tight battles.
Day 2 of the GWA Wingfoil Race European Championship started with wall-to-wall sunshine, promising an action-packed day. As Race Director Juan Antonio Aragon said at the skippers meeting, “The sun's up, the sky is blue... if there ever were a time for action it's today!"
