Formula Kite Youth Worlds

Gizzeria in the south of Italy is famous for perfect kite foiling conditions. Consistently good wind, warm and flat water, are the reasons why Hang Loose Beach at the Gulf of Saint Eufemia has hosted a grand prix kiteboarding event every year for more than a decade.

This year it will be the Formula Kite Youth Worlds, from 17 to 23 July.
