Leucate is a windy place, as Météo France says: 300 windy days a year, a steady breeze, large sandy beaches: all the ideal conditions for wingfoil,kitefoil, windsurf and kitesurfing are to be found in Leucate and La Franqui.
During the Mondial du Vent,Leucate welcomes the best French and internationalriders in wingfoil, freestyle windsurfing…Each edition has its novelties and records!
The world’s best compete on the spot of La Franqui during the Mondial du Vent.Leucate hosts the one and only French round of the Wingfoil GWA World Cup. A great show on the beach of La Franqui! Wingfoil,Pumpfoil, E-Foil and Windsurf competitions.
It’s an expressive discipline in which riders perform aerial tricks. Thanks to the combined action of the foil and the kite, the rider can free himself from gravity, propelling himself several meters into the air to perform his tricks. Back and front loops are the most impressive, as the rider ends up upside down above the wing!
Competitors set off together on a course with a start and finish line, and must combine speed, strategy, water reading, jumps, tacks, pumping with the kite and surfing without the kite.
The principle is simple and effective: a rider proposes a trick that he or she must perform on the first try, then the others must perform it in turn. Whoever falls is penalized by a letter, “W” first, until WINDSURF is written. When this word is written, the rider is eliminated.
Every day, you’ll find exceptional shows on the different spots in the Village de la Glisse.
