The Qatar Airways GKA Kite World Tour 2024 is set to host the second stop of the Freestyle discipline from November 12-15 in Cauipe, north-eastern Brazil.

The Copa Kitley GKA Freestyle Kite World Cup will showcase intense competition in the flat waters and strong winds of the lagoon, known for its stadium-like setting and vibrant atmosphere.

Top seeds include Switzerland's Maxime Chabloz, who is in good form after finishing as runner-up in Dunkerque, and France's Arthur Guillebert, who won the season opener on home waters.

Rising talents such as Germany's Finn Flügel and Italy's Matteo Dorotini will be looking to make their mark, while former world champion Gianmaria Coccoluto (ITA) and Tom Bridge (GBR) will bring their own unique styles to the event. Bruna Kajiya, Brazil's reigning four-time world champion, will look to dominate on home waters, while Spain's Rita Arnaus and newcomer Kaya Lehmann (DEN) promise tough competition in the women's field.
