From January 17–25, 2026, boot Düsseldorf will once again become the global hotspot for surfing, foiling and trend sports. Hall 17 transforms into a vibrant arena filled with world-class contests, interactive activities and festival-style evening sessions.
World-Class Contests on the 62-Meter Action Pool
The iconic XXL indoor pool returns with three major official World Cups, bringing elite athletes from across the globe to Düsseldorf:
- GWA Indoor Wingfoil World Cup – boot Düsseldorf 2026
- SFT Surf Foil WorldTour – boot Düsseldorf 2026
- EuroTour SUP Indoor World Cup – boot Düsseldorf 2026
Windsurfing fans can also look forward to the FPT Freestyle Pro Tour, showcasing jumps normally seen only from afar at the beach. The Pooltastic Wakeboard Masters deliver breathtaking tricks accompanied by live DJ sets. Additionally, the European Skimboard Masters return with top riders and a strong fanbase.
“Bringing 1.3 million liters of water onto our show floor is unique. It allows us to present these impressive sports right where we can truly inspire people,” says boot Director Petros Michelidakis.
