Surf Foil World Tour Heads to Cape Verde – The First-Ever SFT Surf Foil Event

The Surf Foil World Tour (SFT) is set to make history with its first-ever Surf Foil discipline event, and there’s no better place to kick it off than the legendary waves of Cape Verde. From March 13-21, 2025, the world’s best men and women surf foilers will take on the powerhouse waves of Ponta Preta, a break that has earned its reputation as one of the most iconic and challenging right-hand point breaks on the planet.

This groundbreaking competition will run alongside the GKA Kite World Tour and the GWA Wingfoil World Tour, making Cape Verde the epicenter of high-performance foiling and kitesports for an unforgettable week of action.

Cape Verde – A Watersports Paradise

Nestled off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde is a dream destination for wave riders. With its raw Atlantic swells, strong trade winds, and untouched coastline, it has long been a proving ground for the best in kitesurfing, windsurfing, and now, surf foiling.

The jewel of Cape Verde’s surf scene? Ponta Preta.

Ponta Preta – The Ultimate Test for Surf Foilers

Ponta Preta is not for the faint of heart. This powerful, barreling right-hander unloads over a shallow reef, demanding precision, commitment, and technical mastery. The fast, hollow sections and heavy lip will challenge riders to navigate the wave with grace, speed, and control—all while balancing on a hydrofoil.

Unlike traditional surfing, surf foiling allows riders to glide above the water, connecting multiple waves and extending rides far beyond the capabilities of a standard surfboard. But at Ponta Preta, the size, power, and unpredictability of the wave will push competitors like never before. Expect deep carves, critical drops, and innovative foil maneuvers as riders redefine what’s possible on one of the world’s most demanding waves.

A Global Showdown – The Best of the Best Take On Ponta Preta

This inaugural SFT Surf Foil discipline event will feature a stacked lineup of the world’s most talented surf foilers, both men and women, all eager to claim victory in this historic competition.

Competitors will either paddle in or, depending on conditions, utilize tow-ins to position themselves for the best takeoff. Regardless of the entry method, they will rely on their skill, timing, and wave-reading abilities to take on Ponta Preta’s raw power. This event will also showcase a new level of competition strategy, as surf foilers harness their unique ability to glide above the water and link sections in ways that traditional surfers simply can’t.
