GWA WINGFOIL WORLD CUP
APRIL 22 - 26
Since 2021, the Leucate-La Franqui spot has hosted the only French leg of the GWA Wingfoil World Cup.
The newest watersports sport, wingfoiling, is now a must-do at spots all over the world. Wingfoiling has seen tremendous growth over the past six years, and it was only natural that the GWA (Global Wingsport Association, the organization responsible for promoting all sports using a wing as a means of propulsion) launched the first World Cup circuit in 2021 in Leucate.

The world tour consists of 10 stages per season, across the globe. In Leucate, freestyle surfing will be featured.
Surf-Freestyle
It is a discipline of expression in which riders perform aerial figures. Thanks to the combined action of the foil and the wing, the rider can free himself from gravity by propelling himself several meters in height to perform his figures. The front and rear rotations (back loop, front loop) are the most impressive because the rider finds himself upside down above the wing!
