After a super strong event in Dakhla, Capucine Delannoy won her third event of the year and secured her fourth World Title, even before the final stop of the season.
This third stop of the GKA Kite Surf World Cup took place in Dakhla, Morocco, one of the most iconic and remote locations on the tour. Between the Sahara dunes and the Atlantic Ocean, Dakhla offers a mix of raw beauty, powerful wind, and perfect waves that define kite surfing at its best. This yearβs competition was held at West Point, famous for its long right-hand point break curling into a sandy bay. Itβs the third of four events in the 2025 season, and with Capucine already winning the first two stops in Cape Verde and Sylt, she arrived in Dakhla with a strong chance to reclaim her World Title.
Because of her leading position in the world rankings, Capucine entered directly into round three. She scored a 6.0 and a 7.0, securing her spot in round five. Meanwhile, her closest competitors battled tricky conditions and had to fight their way through round four. Capucineβs round five heat turned out to be the highest-scoring of the entire event, with an incredible 9.03 and 8.90. That performance sealed her fourth World Title, but she wasnβt done just yet. Capu was determined to take the win in Dakhla as well.β¨β¨
βSuch a perfect day! It was the goal to win everything and take the title! Iβm so happy!β

Kesiane, ranked third going into this event, was the only rider capable of getting close to Capucine. Her scores consistently came the closest to Capucineβs throughout the competition. In the semifinals, she faced fellow Brazilian Serena Luz, but that proved no challenge for Kesiane. She won her heat convincingly and advanced to the final against Capu.
In the all-North final, both Capucine and Kesiane pushed their limits, delivering an incredible display of talent and power. Capucine eventually took the win, her third event victory of the year. Kesianeβs performance was nothing short of outstanding, she challenged the reigning champion with confidence and precision, confirming her place among the worldβs best. β¨β¨Capucine once again dominated and gave the crowd an amazing show to watch. With powerful carves, seamless flow, and her signature style, she left no doubt about who deserved the top spot. The victory in Dakhla crowned a near-perfect season with three wins out of three and secured her fourth World Title in spectacular fashion.
This day marked another milestone in Capucineβs career, showing once again why sheβs at the top of womenβs kite surfing.β¨
Congratulations to both Capucine Delannoy and Kesiane Rodrigues for an unforgettable performance!
