BIRDYFISH
The concept was born from an observation, how to learn to foil when few foil boats are accessible to neophytes of flight. This foiling dinghy had to be stable, safe while keeping the sensations of flight, frank acceleration and high speed.

BOARDS
PUMP FOIL
The pump foil is a human-powered hydrofoil board that flies above the water without wind, waves or engine. Riders generate lift through leg-powered pumping, showcasing extreme balance, fitness and technique. It’s the purest form of foiling — silent, athletic, and deeply addictive.
Detailed schedule to be announced shortly.
WINGFOIL
The wingfoil combines a handheld inflatable wing with a hydrofoil board, harnessing wind power to lift rider and board clear of the water. One of the fastest-growing disciplines in the foiling world, it is intuitive enough for newcomers yet technical enough to keep pushing the boundaries of speed and control. No mast, no lines. Just wind, lift and open water.
Detailed schedule to be announced shortly.
EFOIL
The eFoil is a battery-powered electric hydrofoil board that allows riders to fly above the water with zero emissions and no external power source. Controlled via a handheld throttle, eFoils combine cutting-edge tech with the magic of flight — fast, smooth and thrilling to ride.
Detailed schedule to be announced shortly.
DOWNWIND RACE

After its successful debut in 2024, the Downwind Race returns to the Foiling Week programme. Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Garda, this race will be held once during the event and is open exclusively to foiling boards — no motors allowed.
