GWA Tarifa Wing Pro 2026
A line-up of 28 men, from 12 countries, will take to the water in Tarifa, which will either be graced by westerly Poniente breezes or cranking easterly Levante wind. The women’s rider fleet will be 17-strong, coming from eight countries. Similar number to last year.

Reigning GWA Surf-Freestyle World Champion (2025), Denmark’s Benjamin Castenskiold and Germany’s Marie Schlittenbauer, are competing in Tarifa again this year. Both will be eager to get their campaigns back on track at the Tarifa Wing Pro. It is still early days.
The young Dane, Castenskiold, still just 14, struggled to find his groove in the unusually light winds during the opening stop at Mondial du Vent, at Leucate, France, in April. He finished in ninth overall with 520 points and has work to do in Tarifa following Austrian Tomas Acherer already with 1.000 points.
Schlittenbauer, 16, was forced to miss the opening call in Leucate as she was recovering from surgery. But she will return in Tarifa, one of four of the season’s remaining stops, giving her the chance to discard the score she missed in France. Marie is chasing local hero Nia Suardiaz who won her 1.000 points in Leucate.
Hailing from Tarifa, Nia Suardiaz clinched the Surf-Freestyle World Championship in 2023. She won again in Tarifa in 2024 and came second in 2025. Born to a Spanish mother from Cádiz and a German father, she will be eager to succeed in front of her hometown crowd, drawing on the perfect blend of passion and skill that her diverse heritage has given her. She took her first steps into the world of surfing in 2020, and by 2021 she was already making waves at the GWA Tarifa Wing Pro.
