GWA Wingfoil World Tour FreeFly-Slalom Kicks Off in Style at Mondial du Vent 2025
The iconic Mondial du Vent returned to La Franqui, Leucate, for six action-packed days of wind, waves, and wingfoiling. Known for its vibrant mix of watersports and family-friendly entertainment, this legendary event once again delivered an unforgettable experience—blending elite competition with sunshine, stormy skies, and the trademark Tramontana winds reaching up to 40 knots.
Beyond the competition, the beachside festival atmosphere thrived with skateboarding, BMX shows, exhibitions, and interactive stands, making it a true celebration of outdoor culture for all ages.
The FreeFly-Slalom division saw 30 men and 18 women take to the water, battling through seven high-intensity elimination rounds across four days for a coveted spot in the main finals.
To ensure fairness for both regular and goofy-footed riders, the slalom course was redesigned several times during the event. The stage was perfectly set for the final day, with 8 men and 6 women—top-ranked after the qualifiers—ready to fight for the first podium of the 2025 season.
