Every day from 10:00 to 18:00, visitors can take part in free taster courses, enjoy SUP yoga sessions or get to know the latest trends in stand-up paddling.

Wing foiling - a spectacular trend

For anyone interested in wing foiling, the festival offers the opportunity to experience the sport up close. With a wing in their hands and a board under their feet, participants can glide over the water and perform spectacular tricks. Even without wind, it is possible to take off, as the pump and sup foilers will prove.
