The large water basin is an integral part of boot Düsseldorf, with paddling, wingsurfing and windsurfing taking place here every day. The pool has been enlarged again for the 2023 trade fair, and wind machines now also provide some ventilation. However, the wind rotors produce a rather moderate wind so that the surrounding stands don't send the trade fair inventory flying out of the hall. From the point of view of experienced wingers, a little "too moderate", as it is unfortunately not possible to take off in a relaxed manner on the pool.
Wing pros like Balz Müller therefore had to dig a little deeper into their bag of tricks. Using a dock launch, they first pumped off with just the board and then picked up their wing after a few metres. Once in the air, they were then able to do relaxed laps on the pool - enough to introduce the numerous spectators to the fascination of the sport.
If you missed the first weekend of the water sports fair, you still have the opportunity to be there until 29 January 2023. But there is also plenty to see away from the water. Numerous manufacturers from the water sports industry will be presenting their latest equipment. Many stars of the scene will also be on site.
Here is an overview of the most interesting new products from the various brands HERE .
