“I kicked off the season with a nice performance in Palma, now I want to continue this momentum at the Worlds and fight for my second World title.” - Jessie Kampman 🇳🇱, the 2025 Formula Kite World Champion.

Less than 2 weeks until the Worlds in Portugal. It’s almost time to see who takes the 2026 titles.🏆🌍

Who’s next?! 🏆🌍
Throw back to the 2025 Formula Kite Worlds when Jessie Kampman and Riccardo Pianosi won their first world titles. And now we're less than 2 weeks away from the 2026 Worlds... The real question is: Who will top the podium in 2026?!🥇
