FINN - FOIL - WING

Are you ready to push your limits and race against the best? The Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge 2024 is not just a standalone event—it’s the grand finale of a series of three thrilling speed challenges held throughout the year. Windsurfers from all over the world are invited to compete for the coveted title of overall series champion by clocking their fastest speeds.

  • Worldwide: Windsurf wherever the wind takes you and you´ll have fun
  • Track your fastest sessions and upload them to GPS-Speedsurfing.com to compete with windsurfers across the globe.

This third and final event will not only decide the fastest windsurfer of this round but will also determine the overall series champion of the 2024 Dunkerbeck GPS Speed Challenge Series. The goal is to achieve the highest average speed over 250 meters, with results tracked using GPS technology. Compete, track your performance, and race for the ultimate title!
