Les Ailes de Saint-Tropez 2025 Part 2: The big event of the year for SUP Foilers!
From October 7 to 12, Saint-Tropez played host to the second part of Les Ailes de Saint-Tropez, an international event bringing together the world's best watermen. Hawaiians, Australians, South Americans, riders from faraway islands and, of course, the best European and French riders have all gathered in Saint-Tropez for the biggest SUP Foil race in Europe.
Following on from last year's success, this event continues to push the limits of SUP boards, with XXL downwind courses that can take off from nearby islands for a spectacular finish in Saint-Tropez.
Flexible waiting period: A race window will be fine-tuned a week before the event according to weather conditions, guaranteeing optimal conditions for pushing back your limits in complete safety.
More than a competition, it's a not-to-be-missed event! Les Ailes de Saint-Tropez is first and foremost an experience where the best watermen on the planet can measure themselves against each other and share their passion in an exceptional setting and unique atmosphere.
A new feature for spectators is the possibility of boarding one of the following boats, guaranteeing total immersion in the world of water sports and the discovery of one of the most beautiful coasts in the Mediterranean.
So get ready to embark with us, because Hawaiians say, this is better than Hawaii!
