The town boasts magnificent dunes, rich vegetation, warm temperatures and perfect seas with wind nine months of the year. The competition format consists of teams of three riders participating in three separate disciplines that encompass all aspects of a kiteboarding competition: course racing, best trick performance and waveriding. Teams are grouped by kite brand, and are required to have three people with at least one female rider.
