Foil Festival 2026: These are the highlights on Fehmarn

- Adjust mast base, boom height and harness ropes in centimetre increments to suit wind and control; longer ropes increase control, even for beginners.
- Increase batten tension from top to bottom: minimise the top, maximise the profile area, let the creases just disappear, do not tighten with force.
- For gusty winds, increase the luff for a loose leech, maintain the profile in the boom area, tension the clew only slightly, adjust the trim mainly via the luff.

- Revised Ensis Rock'n'Roll wingfoil boards: compact, improved touchdown behaviour, reduced swing weight for freeride, freestyle, wave
- Rock'n'Roll: for beginners to experts, versatile, stable, compact design with wide nose, lowered deck and forgiving riding behaviour
- Rock'n'Roll Ace: premium lightweight construction with carbon, PVC and EPS core, more direct feel, greater responsiveness for advanced riders

- Nico Prien wins the Defi 2026, finishes in the top 5 in every race and puts his success down to experience and consistency.
- According to Prien, fin windsurfing is experiencing a revival, while the initial foil hype is dying down and many riders and brands are shifting their focus.
- Prien deliberately starts in the Finn class with strong competition, manages a training camp at the same time and relies on JP slalom boards with Neilpryde sails.

- Fabian Wolf leads after day 1 of the California Windsurf Cup on Sylt in foiling with 1.4 points ahead of Anton Richter (2.7) and Mika Henning (5.0).
- In the LVM Versicherung Grand Prix with prize money of 1,000 euros, Wolf wins ahead of Lars Poggemann and Keno Recke and secures 500 euros in prize money.
- Returnee Anton Richter surprises with strong foiling performances including a heat win, while light winds make further races likely for Friday.

- After a flat day, a constant Levante with approx. 15 knots enables five races and a format change from course to sprint racing in the final series.  
- U23 surfer Tamar Steinberg continues to lead the women's race ahead of Wenqi Li and Maya Gysler; Tibi moves up to fourth, Maggetti and Wilson remain close to the podium.  
- In the men's event, Van Opzeeland defends the lead ahead of Morris and Søe despite the UFD; only the top ten in each category qualify for the Medal Races.

- Naish is expanding the Nvision series with four hollow-shell boards: three Chimera sizes (68, 78, 108 litres) and an Odyssey with 125 litres.  
- According to the manufacturer, the hollow-shell construction without a foam core reduces the board weight by around two kilograms on average compared to EPS construction.  
- Less weight should improve handling, buoyancy behaviour, power transmission to the foil, early starts, precise turns and stability in various conditions.
