The canary and the Dutch rider become the new champions of the world of high-jump discipline after their victory in Gran Canaria

Probably the most expected day in the Salinas de Tenefé with the semifinals and the most exciting finals of Kitesurf Big Air in which local riders showed to dominate the wind and waves of Pozo Izquierdo in extreme conditions, flying more than 40 knots and more than 20 meters high. In fact, the podium was completed by the canaries Jeremy Burando, who was victorious after an incredible ending against his friend Lorenzo Casati, also representing Spain and his brother Leonardo, competing for Italy.

The end began with the Casati brothers fighting Lorenzo in the head. Although the end of this last stop of the world circuit was disputed between the Casati, Burando and the Dutch Stino Mul, only three Riders chose the crown of Kitesurf Big Air after the results of the inaugural competition in France: Lorenzo Casati, Jeremy Burando or the leader of the world ranking after the first stop, the Dutch Jamie Overbeek, who did not qualify in the semi-final against the Canarian Riders.

Despite the leadership of Lorenzo Casati with several well-pointed jumps with notable, Burando got the best score of the competition with a boogie loop board-off scored with 9.27, a maneuver in which the kitesurfer makes a full turn (loop) with the comet and, at the same time, takes off the board of the feet in the air before putting it back on to land.

The female final has not been left behind, seeing the British Francesca Maini, who obtained one of the greatest scores of the day until reaching the final against the Dutch Zara Hoogenraad, the Italian Alice Ruggiu and the Slovenian Lana Herman, who managed to reach the final after overcoming the German Alessa Sophia Mensch in the semi-final.
