Alejandro Climent and Denis Taradin are fighting without barracks after the first day of competition of the Flying Sardine FKSS 2020 Formentera that today has been held on the Balearic Island. The current Formula Kite Spain Series champion and the Russian regatist maintain a hard fight after the six sleeves today in the pristine waters of Formentera. In the female category, the Polish Julia Damasiewicz is the clear leader with a very important advantage over Gisela Polido who is second.

The Flying Sardine FKSS 2020 Formentera today has had a full day in which tests of the Open category, of the F-One Amateur and of the new Wingfire speciality have been held. Those who were in the water for the longest time, the first exit took place after ten in the morning, were the thirty regatists of the Open category who could complete six sleeves in two so many. The wind was rising in intensity in the race field.

One of the keys of the day was the choice of the comet as the right compromise had to be achieved between the 21 and 19. Many went out in the second round of races with a comet that in the last two tests was too big, so some regatists decided to go back to land to change the kite, although they penalized the failure to reach the exit that was in the sea when they blew a hundred land.

The second and last day in which the regatists will have to get up early is scheduled for today as the first exits have been marked by 9: 00 in the morning in the Paradise spot of Illetas.
