    Marathon Race at Silvaplana 

    Balz Muller celebrating wing foiling

    High up in the beautiful Swiss mountains, the ENSIS ENGADIN Marathon race takes place. This long-running event brings together various sailing disciplines to race on Lake Silvaplana. Sailboats, windsurfers, kitesurfers, and most importantly, wingfoilers all share a start line to race around the lake. All participants competed on foils, making it essentially a foil marathon race. ENSIS Team riders Michi Näf and Balz Müller took to the water to represent ENSIS and ultimately shared the podium. 

    The Race 

    Competitors raced around the entire lake, with both upwind and downwind legs. Over 100 competitors started simultaneously in a rabbit start (staggered start line), creating excitement for everyone involved. It was incredible to see so many people on the water. Although the wind was incredibly light, it didn’t stop the race from happening. 

    Wingfoil Team Rivalry 

    Just before the race started, the wind dropped significantly, creating a tough situation for Michi and Balz. They only had one 6m wing available onshore, and Balz quickly grabbed it before Michi could. This set the stage for an exciting battle between the two teammates. The race was neck and neck, but in the end, Balz secured first place, with Michi sharing the podium in second. 

    See You at the Next One! 

    It’s always incredible to see the passion and enthusiasm that the watersports community has. The 47th ENGADIN Marathon race was a major success, and we look forward to the next one. We hope to see you there! Thanks to the ENSIS team for showing their support and participating in the event, and a huge congratulations to Balz and Michi for their podium finishes.

    Talking wingfoil freestyle with Balz Müller

    Balz Müller is a “fun-boarding” pioneer and one of the first to push freestyle wingfoiling. He is stoked about everything related to wind, boards, and water. We caught up with Balz to chat about freestyling, how he got into it, his mindset, and to ask him for some tips and tricks.

    Lake Silvaplana is a beautiful lake in the Swiss mountains, where most of the iconic ENSIS photos are taken. It is also where the ENSIS EngadinWing event is hosted every year, making it feel very much like the ENSIS “home lake.” So, we thought it was really cool when our Swiss team rider, Devin Hauser, pumpfoiled for over an hour and a half around the perimeter of the entire lake.
