Taking part in this 4th year of the Swoop Challenge were some of the worlds best specialists of this discipline, attracting a large national and international public, that during these dates visit the coast of Girona. Thanks to the help of the town council of Castelló d´Empuries, Salomon, Red Bull, Passarel·la and the Tourism Board of Costa Brava they were able to organise an attractive and very successful competition, not only for the parachutists, but also for the viewing public in general, that were able to watch the incredible manouvers made by the competitors, only a few meters away from them.

More than 30 competitors from different countries, including Australia, Argentina, Canada and the USA amongst others, competed for prize money of over 20,000 euros and used the competition as training for the World Championships that will take place in Austria in a few weeks time and to measure there skills against those of other competitors, given that most of the competitors are representatives for their own respective countries.

Jumps were made from an altitude of 1500 meters high, the parachutists performed tests of precision, speed and distance over the natural circuit at the mouth of the River La Muga where it meets the Gulf of Roses.

In the last round, the North American Jonathan Tagle was pronounced all round champion, in second place from Canada Jay Moledsky and in third place from Spain Pablo Hernández.
