In 14 – 18 knots riders were able to fly 10 – 15 metres high without needing such super strong wind as needed on a twin-tip. Mixing LEI kites for the kite loops and foil kites for the big floaty airs, this competition had all the technical thrill of freestyle or kite-surf contests, but with a more relaxed, fun atmosphere given the rapid evolution that the discipline is currently experiencing, fuelled by the riders at this event.
This event in Taiba was a double header from 23 – 27th November 2022, where Kite-Surf and Hydrofoil-Freestyle World Champions were crowned. 13 male Hydrofoil-Freestylers, 28 male Kite-Surf and 16 female Kite-Surf riders competed.
