Racing and training: North Experience Camp with Vincent Langer in Soma Bay

The Raceweek in Soma Bay will have a new format in 2026. From 25 to 29 March, the Raceweek x North Experience Camp will take place for the first time, combining classic regattas with a comprehensive training and testing programme. Vincent Langer will personally accompany the week and provide insights into the international racing circus. Participants can test the latest North equipment, from race set-ups to freeride equipment. Soma Bay offers almost perfect conditions in March with constant thermal winds, a warm climate and flat to slightly choppy water, while Peter Müller's surf centre provides an ideal base.

The camp comprises several components spread over the five days. Race sessions with professional feedback form the core of the programme. Start and manoeuvre training complement the race sessions. Material and trim workshops provide practical knowledge for optimising your own set-up. Theory sessions cover topics such as setup, strategy and performance. Joint freeride sessions offer a change from the racing programme.

Vincent Langer as coach on site

During the week, Vincent Langer shares his experience from international racing. His coaching focusses not only on speed, but also on a deeper understanding of material, technique and performance. Participants receive direct feedback on their runs and can ask questions about all aspects of racing. The aim is not only to become faster, but also to understand the connections between equipment selection, trim and riding technique.

The North Experience also includes extensive testing opportunities for the latest equipment - As you know, Vincent has been responsible for the windsurfing division at North since the beginning of the year. Participants can try out different race set-ups under real conditions and compare them directly. Freeride equipment is also available to familiarise participants with different areas of use. The combination of equipment testing and professional coaching makes it possible to understand the differences between various setups and find the right equipment for your own needs.
