Racing, freestyle and pump skiing
The German Freestyle Battles and the Racer of the Sea will once again provide action on the water - alongside hundreds of testers: this year, a new record is set for the Everyman Regatta with 100 participants at the surf festival powered by SALITOS. Places are in high demand, so registration in advance is essential.
Germany's best freestylers celebrate their moves away from the hustle and bustle of the test centre when the wind is good enough for them. At the Tow-In Show on Saturday evening right in front of the test site, the GFB crew is guaranteed to get the whole beach boiling. And: At the boot Pumpfoil Challenge, you can try out the popular doldrums fun for yourself and watch the pros pumping around the buoys. If you've always wanted to try it out: Just drop by the boot tent on the beach, sign up and get started. The pump foiling experts from the California surf school will accompany you from the brief theory directly onto the foil. And it's all free of charge!
Yoga, Blackroll test and running club
The morning yoga session with Sascha Lange right on the beach has become the best way to start the festival day for many. This year, there is also a running session every morning with festival partner the German Armed Forces. This involves running a 2.5-kilometre loop around the festival site on the south beach at a relaxed pace, followed by activation and regeneration with the Blackroll and a joint breakfast with "Bauck Mühle Knusper Frühstück" at the surf stand.
Throughout the day, you can also try out the various fitness and regeneration products at the Blackroll stand, learn the best exercises and get your body back in shape after surfing!
Numerous other highlights are also waiting for you: Workshops, coaching, free surf lessons and much more - more on this here in the next few days!
