The legendary waves of Cape Verde were firing for the first clashes of the opening GKA Kite-Surf World Cup 2023 which has drawn the globe’s top athletes to fight for honours.Forty-five riders—28 men and 17 women—travelled to the idyllic African island seeking the chance to open their claims for the 2023 kite-surf world title.
The women’s competition kicked off the event. It began with a bang when Hawaii-based Moona Whyte opened her account with a stunning 8.0 wave, showing her poise with powerful, linked turns. The US rider did even better with the day’s highest wave score of 9.23 several heats later.
The men’s round saw the most dramatic battles of the day, fought out in the sinking sun as the swells ramped up to 6ft in a perfect 15-18kts of breeze. Multiple world champions, Matchu Lopes and Airton Cozzolino, duelled in the day’s final heat.
