Spring is kicking off strong across Europe, and with it comes a packed calendar of exciting foil events. ENSIS will be on the road attending three of the biggest ones this season: Défi Wing, Foil Festival, and Engadinwind. Whether you're racing, spectating, or just soaking up the atmosphere, each event is a great chance to connect with the ENSIS team, check out our latest gear, and maybe even test it for yourself.

Here's what you can expect at each stop:

Défi Wing – May 26–28, 2025

Gruissan, South of France

Défi Wing has become a legendary event in the wind sports world. This full-throttle distance race pushes riders to their limits with long-distance races of 20–40 km. It’s a true test of speed and endurance. This year’s event is bigger than ever, with the 2025 edition selling out at a new cap of 550 riders in record time.

ENSIS will be present with a booth in the event village, showcasing all our latest equipment. If you’re attending or spectating, swing by to say hi to the team, check out the gear, and keep an eye out for a special giveaway happening during the event!

Foil Festival – June 6–9, 2025

Fehmarn, Germany

Foil Festival is a celebration of all things foiling. Expect a packed program of downwinders, pump foil sessions, wingfoil action, and community fun. There will be freestyle and slalom competitions to watch, plus loads of chances to meet other passionate foilers.

We'll be there with our full range of equipment and the ENSIS crew, ready to chat, answer your questions, and show you what our wings and boards can do. Make sure to stop by our booth!

ENGADINWIND – June 10–15, 2025

Silvaplana, Switzerland

This is our home event, and we’re proud to be back in the Swiss Alps for another epic edition of ENGADINWIND. ENSIS is hosting the Wingfoil Racing World Cup stop, where the world’s fastest racers go head-to-head on one of the most scenic lakes in Europe.

There’s more than just racing though. Look out for freestyle action, Para Wing competitions, and the unique Best of Three (or maybe now Best of Four?) format where different foil disciplines compete to impress both judges and crowds. It’s one of the most exciting formats in foiling and a must-see event.

Check out the Best Of Three action from previous events!

Each of these events is an amazing chance to see the best in foil sports, try the latest ENSIS equipment, and connect with the ENSIS TEAM and fellow riders. We can’t wait to meet you, see you on the water (or by the booth)!
