The GKA Kite World Tour heads to Mykonos for the first time, marking a milestone stop as the second Big Air World Cup of the 2026 season-and the event that will crown the men's and women's GKA Kite World Tour Big Air World Champions.
Following an action-packed event at Lords of Tram, where the Tramontana delivered world-class conditions, the stage is now set for a spectacular finale in the Aegean.
Mykonos brings a completely different but equally electrifying energy. Known globally for its vibrant culture, iconic whitewashed architecture, and cosmopolitan atmosphere, the island transforms into a high-performance playground in June. The Meltemi wind, a strong, dry northerly that dominates the summer months, funnels through the Cyclades delivering consistent, high-wind conditions, perfect for Big Air. Riders can expect powerful gusts and open water, creating the ideal platform for massive boosts, technical megaloops, and next-level progression.
As one of Greece's most famous islands, Mykonos blends elite sport with lifestyle in a way few destinations can. From beach culture to global tourism, the event will attract international attention both on and off the water, turning the competition into a true festival of sport.
The GKA Kite World Tour proudly welcomes Capital.com as the event's sponsor, supporting what promises to be a defining moment of the season. As the world's best riders battle for the ultimate title, Mykonos will deliver not only a champion—but a statement event that captures the power, style, and global appeal of Big Air kiteboarding.
