Day 03 GWA Wing Foil World Cup Leucate 2021

1. May 2021 by Wingfoildaily Leave a Comment

GWA Wing Foil World Cup Leucate 2021 Day 03 action
GWA Wing Foil World Cup Leucate day 03 with some light winds.

Yesterday we had our first sunny start here in Leucate at the GWA Wing Foil World Cup 2021! The substantial breeze blew hope through the air during the morning skippers meeting. 

Aiming to speed up the tempo of the event, judges planned to kick off with the Surf-Racing discipline. Riders were told to remain alert for the calls, as the GWA Wingfoil World Tour race director Dani Jimenez and GWA head judge Mallory de la Villemarqué headed to the beach to plan the race course of the day.

Shortly after, the tractors were loaded with foils, and the riders made their daily commute to the competition site. Things were looking promising. The sun was persisting, and the wings were flapping in the breeze as the riders set up for action. By Midday, the breeze was substantial enough to have all the excited riders in the ocean testing out the course.

Due to the flat and light conditions, the judges separated the course into three short parts separated by two buoys at this GWA Wing Foil World Cup.

Don’t let the distance fool you. The course may appear short, but it is equally as potent! Especially the second half!

Throughout the course, the riders will find themselves in favor of the wind, against and even a part where they cannot use their wing at all. They have to cross by pumping.

Pro freestyle kitesurfer Paula Novotna (CZE), one of the most dedicated off-the-water athlete confirms – this final stretch is no joke.

“Pumping on the foil is exhausting! It’s like a burner and workout for your legs so for sure, being fit on the water helps with every kind of Watersport.” 

If it tires someone as fit as Paula, it is most likely is a recipe for spaghetti legs for the rest of us. So we better get training! 

At the beach at the GWA Wing Foil World Cup, we caught up with RRD rider Francesco Cappuco (ITA) and Duotone Wingfoil R&D and Team Manager Klass Voget (GER) and asked them about the different Wingfoiling setups. They’ve both been heavily involved in the R&D process of the gear from the beginning of their Wingfoiling journey and had many interesting insights.

By 16.00 pm, the anxious riders were released, as they could no longer bear the taunting of the wind driving them on and off the water throughout the day. Judges want to ensure they keep their energy for today’ss potent forecast! 

Everyone is looking forward to it. The action-deprived athletes are craving to show us some action today, so stay tuned for D-day and follow our Socials for all behind-the-scenes moments.

Early skippers meeting at 8.00 am with a first possible (very likely) start at 9.00 am (CET). See you there!
