The first Wave World Cup of the GWA Wingfoil Tour has been running at the Cape Verde spot Ponta Preta since 13 March. The first rounds are currently being ridden and you can follow the action in the livestream.

Last year, Ponta Preta provided legendary conditions for the Wingfoil World Cup and this year doesn't look bad either. Although no giant sets are currently thundering onto the notorious reef in the south-west of the Cape Verde island of Sal, the conditions are already contest-ready: head-high sets and 15-17 knots of wind allow for good action and of course there are always washouts in the rocks to be seen. You can follow the action live here:

We will keep you up to date as soon as there are any results to report. Tip: Information on the new rules in the wave can be found HERE.
