GWA Wingfoil World Cup Morocco 2021 Day 1

Lees hier het verhaal over de eerste dag van de GWA Wingfoil World Cup Morocco 2021:

The GWA crew and athletes are thrilled to be in Dakhla, Morocco, bringing this new emerging sport to Foum Labouir surf spot for the first time. It is an epic location known for incredible wind and waves, and the forecast for this coming week is no exception.

Registration took place at Westpoint Dakhla Hotel in the early morning, where 20 men and 5 women of over 10 nationalities signed up to compete at this event.

The wind and waves were pumping from the very start, so the Race Director, Juan Antonio Aragon, decided to start the event with the Surf-Freestyle discipline as the conditions were ideal. By 1 pm, the first Men’s Heats were already underway. Riders were competing in 15-minute heats, where they were allowed 10 wave attempts, with the 2 best waves counting and 5 trick attempts with 1 trick counting for their total score. 

Yesterday, Men’s Rounds 1 and 2 were completed seamlessly and by 6 pm, the wind dropped meaning that tomorrow the Men’s Round 3 Heat 5 and women’s heats will be next in sequence.The skipper’s meeting has been called today for 9.30 am, with the first possible start at 10 am.
