The GKA Youth Kite World Championships in Tarifa, Spain got off to an exhilarating start with perfect Poniente wind conditions on day one. This ideal weather allowed us to successfully wrap up the boy's U14 and girl's U16 Twintip Freestyle categories.

As the afternoon unfolded, we made remarkable progress and moved forward with the boy's U16 Twintip category, aiming to complete it on the event's second day. The excitement is building as the competition continues, promising thrilling action for the rest of the week.
