If the GWA season started the season with a bang with ground-breaking events in New Zealand, Cape Verde and France, it moved on to another plane with the back-to-back competitions in the Canaries, Spain. In less than two weeks in July, the teenage athletes moved the wingfoil dial with stellar performances that were, quite simply, astonishing. First, in the windsurfing "bunker" of Pozo Izquierdo, Gran Canaria, where the GWA was welcomed to make its debut thanks to organizer, windsurf legend, Bjørn Dunkerbeck. The second stop was equally historic, as the GWA made its first appearance at the 35th edition of the Fuerteventura World Cup on Sotavento beach. The conditions delivered by two events could barely have been more contrasting, but the end result was the same: performances that marked a step change in wingfoiling's upward trajectory.
