About This Event

2026 “The First Edition – Kick Off” Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge

The season opener. Early spring conditions in the north and strong trade winds in the south set the tone for what’s to come.

FINN – FOIL – WING

Join the ultimate windsurfing adventure and start your race for the overall title.


The Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge 2026 kicks off a three-part global speed sailing series. Windsurfers worldwide are invited to clock their fastest speeds and compete from day one.

  • Windsurf anywhere in the world
  • Record your fastest sessions

This first event sets the baseline. A strong start here can define your entire season. The ranking is based on the highest average speed over 250 meters, measured via GPS.
