Garda Trentino Foil Days 2026

Garda Trentino Foil Days 2026

One-hour regatta with 128 participants

From June 18 to 21, the “Garda Trentino Foil Days” took place in Torbole on Lake Garda. At this water sports event, held on and in front of the Circolo Surf Torbole grounds, almost everything revolved around foiling with windsurf sails and wings. In addition to the Expo Village, which featured equipment presentations by many manufacturers, the regatta program took center stage.

Instead of having wing foilers and windsurfers on fins and foils start separately, everyone was sent out onto the regatta course together. The race was a one-hour regatta in which the number of laps completed on a buoy course was counted. However, the individual groups were then scored separately.

A total of 128 participants competed, most of them using windsurfing equipment (foil or fin). In the wing foil category, 17 men and 4 women took to the water.
