More than 120 athletes from three continents will compete for nine days in one of the most prestigious events on the international wave circuit

Arenal Beach in Pozo Izquierdo once again became the epicenter of world windsurfing this Saturday with the start of the 38th Gran Canaria Windsurf World Cup. This event brings together more than 120 competitors from three continents and will place Santa Lucía de Tirajana in the international spotlight of the sport for the next nine days.

The opening day began with the traditional group photo of the participants. Although wind conditions prevented the start of the competition heats, the atmosphere on the beach was electric with athletes preparing and anticipation for the start of the championship.

The competition is part of the PWA wave circuit and the World Wave Tour. The event will once again pit young local talents against some of the world’s best specialists.

The Gran Canaria Gloria Windsurf World Cup is endorsed by the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation and has the support of the Government of the Canary Islands, the Gran Canaria Island Council, the Santa Lucía de Tirajana City Council and various public and private entities that collaborate in the organization of the event.
