FLYSURFER athlete Daniela Moroz (USA) and Denis Taradin (RYF) are the winners of this year’s first event. 100 racers registered & participated.
„It was so good to be back in Gizzeria, it’s one of my favorite venues for racing and I really love coming back here. The racing was really intense – the biggest fleet we’ve ever seen and the racing was so fun. Everyone is so fast and competitive and it’s cool to see how much the level has increased. It has been really motivating for me to keep pushing myself and improving. I was really happy with how much progress I made this week and I’m excited for the rest of the season.“ – Daniela Moroz
The fourth overall is FLYSURFER athlete Théo De Ramecourt (FRA) climbing two positions from the day before, after a great Sunday that saw him winning the first race.
Théo summarized the event:
The act 1 of the KiteFoil World Series came to an end after 4 days of thought racing in KiteFoil paradise – Gizzeria.
Even if most of the races were sailed in a nice sea breeze, we had races in wind from 5 to 25+ knots which made the event pretty nice.
I had a lot of fun racing with the 100 riders fleet and even if I didn’t really focus on the results during the event, I’m pretty happy about my performance and my final result.
It was amazing to have the support from my main partners there and be able to spend time talking and testing with the main leader in the KiteFoil industry.
Huge thanks to Flysurfer, Levitaz, SK Shapes and Hydro boards for being so involved. 🤟🏽
