About Leucate
The 2025 Mondial du Vent GWA Wingfoil World Cup is located on the Mediterranean, on France’s southern coast. The GWA chose this spot for the 2025 GWA Wingfoil World Tour due to the consistency of wind—it blows more than 300 days each year. Leucate also boasts ideal, wide, sandy beaches.
The Mondial du Vent is fuelled by the Tramontana, a reliable and strong north-westerly wind that blows side, to side-offshore. The 2025 event will be the fifth successive year the Mondial du Vent has hosted a GWA Wingfoil World Cup.
About Mondial du Vent
Rarely does a competition make it past the two-decade mark. But the Mondial du Vent that was established in 1997 has long surpassed that. The 2025 edition marks the event’s 28th year of hosting windsports’ enthusiasts from around the globe. The Mondial du Vent is France’s premier wind and watersports’ event.
For the 2025 season, the GWA will stage competitions in the new FreeFly-Slalom and Surf-Freestyle disciplines at the Mondial du Vent, with the SFT joining with line-up with Pump Foil and E-Foil competitions.
