Would you like to experience wingsurfing up close or try it out for yourself? Or are you already hooked and want to test the latest wings, foils and boards and talk shop with other wingers? We have put together the most important wing events in 2023!

These test festivals are ideal for a first impression: those who have only seen pictures and videos of wing foiling can discover the material and feel for the first time how the wind fills the wing with power. Trying it out on the water is also expressly encouraged! Wingsurfing experts or experienced trainers are often on hand to give tips or organise courses.

And, not to forget: Many wing events have a colourful supporting programme with catering, parties and other attractions for the whole family!

This list iscontinuously expanded and updated. If you are organising a wing event yourself or are missing an important date, please write to us at info@wingsurf.world !

With the trainer boat, the group is very flexible and always at the best spot depending on the wind situation. Boards and wings can be swapped between the foilers on the water.
