Ten years on, Francesco Cappuzzo makes a winning comeback!
Ten years after his 2016 victory, Francesco Cappuzzo returns to the top step of the podium at the King of North Shore! Back at this iconic competition after a decade away, the GONG team rider takes the win in the kite-surfing discipline in great conditions, with winds of 25 to 30 knots and waves 2 to 3 metres high. Riding his Elips Aramid 7 m², he claims another victory after a hard-fought final against his long-time rival, Tony Cili.
