So if you want to try out the latest products, this is definitely the place to be. The wind forecast for the coming days is not too bad, especially on Saturday there could be enough wind to get out on the water here.

Contest, party & beach life at the Foil Festival

The best WingFoil athletes in Germany will once again be competing in the "Freestyle" and "Race" disciplines for the German Championship title, which serves as a feeder event for the European and World Championships. The German Wing Foil Association is responsible for the sporting organisation.

Visitors can look forward to seeing wingfoil superstar Balz Müller from Switzerland. Balz, the first world champion in wingfoiling, is known for his spectacular manoeuvres and is still a big name in the World Cup today. He is representing his sponsor ENSIS and is the top favourite in Schönberger Strand. The competitions take place daily from 10:00 to 18:00 directly on the pier in Schönberg.
