49 wave kiters took their positions at Ponta Preta in Sal, Cape Verde, to register for the first event on this year’s GKA Kite-Surf Word Tour (wave and strapless freestyle discipline).

This is the first time the GKA has visited Cape Verde and the riders are relishing the chance to test themselves on the infamous right-hander at Ponta Preta, especially having wrapped up last year’s tour at One Eye – the iconic left-hander in Mauritius.

This is a combination wave and strapless freestyle tour. While the swell pushes in, the contest will resume in waves at Ponta Preta as the men continue their first round and the women begin their contest.
