Barcolana Run: Provisional Rankings

Meanwhile, Barcolana FUN continues – the free, borderless online national ranking connecting kiters, wingers and windsurfers from Italy and Slovenia. Each athlete competes on their home waters – at sea or on inland waters, including lagoons, lakes and rivers – and uploads their GPX track to the GPSFormula platform, which processes performance over 100, 200 and 500 metres.

Five disciplines are being contested: directional and twintip kitesurfing, kitefoil, wingfoil, windsurf slalom and freeride, and windsurf foil.
In the current provisional standings, Luka Pozar leads the wingfoil category, with top speeds of 31.67 knots over 100 metres, 31.33 over 200 metres and 30.63 over 500 metres. Tommaso Feri leads the kitefoil category with 27.32, 27.15 and 26.60 knots, and also tops the SurfKite standings. Giovanni Baldassi leads the twintip category with 32.23, 32.17 and 28.86 knots, while Matej Vidmar heads the Windsurf Slalom standings.

Project partners are Reptile, Kitelife, GPSFormula, CKWI and SVBG. The challenge will conclude on 5 October, with the prize-giving ceremony scheduled for Thursday, 8 October at Local in Trieste. In 2025, Barcolana FUN attracted 124 athletes, who uploaded a total of 233 tracks.
