There's still not much to see of a spruced-up trade fair appearance at many of the stands: there's construction going on everywhere, electric SUP pumps are roaring at every corner and mountains of packaging material are lying around. The new look of the surf hall is dominated by the black suspended walls, and most of the stands have uniform steel containers, both of which create a cool industrial look.
Even though the lighting is still a little sparse, the new look is already coming into its own. In contrast to the previous wooden huts with roofs, the hall looks much more open and airy. And when all the boards are in place for the official opening tomorrow, all the spotlights are switched on and the aisles are clear, the new design will really come into its own!
You'll find our surf stand at position D36, at the entrance to Hall 16, where you can chill out, ask the editors questions and get to know each other. secure our subscription offer for the trade fair, including a limited HiFly shirt. There is also a snack stand and plenty of seating nearby!
