Thrilling showdown
Andrea Principi may not have claimed the 2025 world title, but he entered the final with one clear goal: to deliver the best heat of his life. Despite crashing his opening attempt, he rebounded with an outstanding ContraLoop Front Roll Board Off, earning 9.03 points. He then upped the ante with a 9.33 ContraLoop Back Roll, the highest-scoring trick of the entire event.
Lorenzo Casati, already crowned world champion, remained composed throughout the final. To make it even more special, he was joined in the heat by his younger brother, Leonardo Casati. Though one of the youngest riders on tour, Leonardo rode with confidence far beyond his years, proving he is a rising star to watch.
With two 9-point scores on the board, Andrea Principi built an insurmountable lead. The wind was blasting, and the finalists were going all in, risking everything for massive tricks. Stino Mul held third place for most of the heat but dropped back in the final two trick attempts. In a dramatic finish, Andrea remained unstoppable, securing the Lords of Tram victory and celebrating in front of an ecstatic crowd. Lorenzo Casati took second place, while his younger brother Leonardo earned his first podium finish in third. Stino Mul rounded out the final standings in fourth.
It was a breathtaking conclusion to an unforgettable weekend in Barcares, cementing the 2025 GKA Big Air Kite World Cup as one of the most thrilling events in Big Air history.
