Leg of the Multivan Windsurf Cup on Corpus Christi at Nordbad Borkum
In the 1990s and early 2000s, the Multivan Windsurf Cup was one of the defining competition formats in German windsurfing. Borkum was one of the most important venues at the time. With its return in 2026, the island will host a sporting event that attracts top German athletes while strengthening the island's maritime summer image.
The program includes the four classic windsurfing disciplines: Racing, Slalom, Wave, and Freestyle. Racing and Slalom are about speed on a marked course; in Wave, points are scored in the surf with jumps, wave rides, and maneuvers; Freestyle is the most creative discipline with elaborate tricks. Borkum is one of the few spots in Germany where all four disciplines can be held under good conditions.
The format is traditionally scheduled for the extended Corpus Christi weekend, when the start of school holidays and bridging days make travel easier for many visitors. The exact heat order will be decided on-site by the Race Committee in coordination with wind and weather.
The competitions are free to access, and the event area at Nordbad offers the best view of the athletes. Press conferences, athlete talks, and meet-and-greet formats complement the sporting program. A highlight of early summer for surf fans, islanders, and holidaymakers alike.
The return of the Multivan Windsurf Cup to Borkum is a significant event for the German windsurfing scene. In the classic format, heats will be held in all four disciplines; the order will depend on wind and wave conditions. The Race Committee will decide on the daily schedule on-site.
The event area at Nordbad offers the best view of the competitions and is accessible free of charge. Accompanying events include athlete talks, equipment presentations, and club activities.
The exact program for 2026 will be published by the Race Committee on-site and on windsurfcup.de. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years:
