Sands Beach Active recently caught up with World Kite Boarding Wave Champion Guilly Brandao to talk to him about his 3rd World Title Crown and what his plans are for 2011. Here’s what he had to say:

SB Active: First off, congrats on your 3rd World Champ Title. How does this year’s title compare with previous years?

GB: This year was really special for me, the final stop of the tour was in Australia and I lived there for 3 years back in 2000, when I still wasn’t quite sure what to do about life…and soon after that I found kitesurfing and became a pro. So to go back there after 10 years to be crowned the world champ was kind of coming full circle.

SB Active: And what are you up to these days?

GB: Right now I’m in Hawaii for the winter season, awesome waves and good winds..!

SB Active: Tell me about this KSP Dream Tour I’ve been hearing about?

GB: The KSP will be a Waveriding tour with the aim to make the stops on the best locations as possible, with the best media coverage and the best riders.

SB Active: So I guess we’re going to be seeing you again real soon at Sands Beach for the clinic you are hosting. What do you look forward to most about getting back to the Canaries?

GB: Yeah I love the Canary Islands….every time I go there its super fun, lots of wind all the time, really beautiful scenery wherever you look and a lot of nice people to be around…and of course Sands Beach!

SB Active: Well thanks for your time and the best of luck on the upcoming season and hopefully your 6th World Champ title in as many years. See you in Lanzarote!

Guilly will be arriving in Lanzarote just in time for the PKRA Lanzarote World Tour Pro, which is being hosted by Sands Beach Active and La Santa Surf from the 6th -10th of April 2011. Make sure and come on down to take in the action and see some of the world’s best kite surfers from around the globe compete for the top prize of 15.000€.

The first Circuito Canario de Kiteboarding event of 2011 takes to the waves on Lanzarote between 20th and 24th April at Playa Honda and Playa Famara with two kiteboarding disciplines – Freestyle and Waves.

The ‘Waves’ competition takes place at Playa Famara in Teguise on Wednesday 21st and Thursday the 22nd April at Playa Famara (on the opposite coast from Sands Beach Resort – not a long journey by bus or car) and should include the top riders in the Canary islands. After that the competition heats up and heads to Playa Honda near the airport between Friday 22nd and Sunday 24th April for the anything goes ‘Freestyle’ events.

Anyone interested in challenging the Canary Islands’ best riders can register for the event at the Oficina de Regatas at Playa Honda from 5th to 20th April (at midday). The rest of us can just lie back and enjoy the spectacular show from the sunny comfort of two of Lanzarote’s nicest beaches.

This is the first time the KPWT Kiteboard Pro World Tour has staged an event in Lanzarote. From 1 to 6 June 2010, the best kite boarders in the world will compete for the competition title and the prize money pot of 40,000 euros. The event will cover several disciplines such as Freestyle, Wavemaster, and Junior.
Famara on the north west coast of Lanzarote is the venue, it’s a big favourite with sea sports fans, due to the winds, overall good weather and the large sweeping bay.
Apart from the glory and the thrill of the sport, stars will be competing to improve their world rankings, so that competitive edge will be very sharp. There are more details at www.lasantasurf.es , this is an event not to miss.
