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.
