It was day 3 at the GKA Freestyle Super Grand Slam here in Ilha do Guajiru and these are the highlights of men’s rounds 4 and 5 and women’s round 4! With stronger, gustier wind and more chop on the lagoon than yesterday, conditions were definitely a challenge for the riders today, but that did not stop them from showing the most impressive moves and highest scores we've seen in the competition so far!

Athletes had a very early start today, as the competition had to be scheduled according to the tides of the lagoon to ensure optimal riding conditions. First up were the men, and they were rewarded for getting up early with ideal conditions, flat water and steady wind so most competitors were on 11 to 13m kites. Here’s what went down in Hura Beach today: youngest competitor of the event Davi Ribeiro placed second in his first heat of the day, and it really showed that the 12-year-old Brazil...
