The opening day was marked by intense wind conditions, exceeding 40 knots, which required participants to demonstrate high levels of precision and technical control during their aerial maneuvers. Judges are evaluating criteria such as rotation difficulty, height, and the overall execution of each trick on the water.
In the men's category, initial results showed strong competition among the favorites, with scores suggesting that the qualifying rounds will remain open until the final scheduled for this Saturday. The women's competition also saw a dynamic start, with the top-ranked riders maintaining narrow margins in their scores.
The event, supported by institutions including the Cabildo de Gran Canaria and the Ingenio Town Hall, reinforces the island's position as a major international venue for wind sports. Beyond the competition, the program includes environmental activities and talks on water safety.
