Ibiraquera showdown of the GKA Kite-Surf World Cup gets off to a tricky start

The GKA Kite-Surf World Cup in Ibiraquera, Brazil, kicks off with a stop-start day at the iconic left-hand beach-break. Although the competition has yet to begin, the first day is still put to great use with the celebration of the opening ceremony and two heats of the opening round of the men’s competition were completed.
The Ibiraquera call is vital for those with title ambitions and comes ahead of the final stop, which is also scheduled for Brazil, at Pecém, next month.
