Record-breaking start to the 2025 season!
The ProAm Windsurf Cup at Lake Garda kicked things off with incredible energy, stunning conditions, and a record number of participants—59 riders from 6 nations, including top PWA pros.

On Saturday, with wind speeds topping 25 knots, we completed 8 full-throttle races in both Foiling and Fin Slalom. Victory in the Foiling discipline went to Vincent Langer (GER-1), while Marco Lang (AUT-66) dominated the Fin Slalom field.

The atmosphere? Pure stoke.
The level? World class.
The vibe? International and unforgettable.

The ProAm Cup at Lake Garda has once again proven how strong our windsurfing community is—with youth talents, seasoned pros, and passionate racers coming together on and off the water.

Foiling: The art of flying over water!

⚡️ With the right light-wind setup, you’ll be up and gliding from just 7 knots. Big front wing for early lift, smaller gear for control in stronger winds—every choice counts.

Wave discipline – pure fun, but with a competitive twist! 🌊🔥 Most riders stick to their usual wave gear, but in a contest, you don’t get to pick perfect conditions—you’ve got to make it work, whether it’s onshore, gusty, or just straight-up brutal.

⚡ Minimum setup: Medium wave board + 1-2 sails.
⚡ Recommended setup: Medium/high-wind wave board + a bigger light-wind board & powerful onshore sail for those heavy shorebreaks.

Wave gear isn’t just for waves—at the top end of Fin Slalom, it can be a solid alternative! 🚀

#californiawindsurfcup #discipline #wave #season25 #volkswagen_journey #partnerdersurfer #volkswagennutzfahrzeuge #koenigpilsener #lvmversicherung #autostadt

Fin Slalom – Speed & Control ⚡️💨

According to IFCA rules, Fin Slalom starts at 11 knots, but in practice, it’s more like 13 knots since foiling takes over at lower wind speeds. Riders typically go for a light wind setup with 7.8–9.0 sqm sails and medium- or light-wind slalom boards. As the wind picks up, smaller sails (7 sqm or less) and high-wind boards come into play.

Good news: You don’t need the latest high-tech gear! Even older equipment can get you into the finals if it’s well-tuned and you’re in shape. 💪
