DSC Virtual Global Tour 2025- Season Wrap- Up
Another season finished, another chapter of speed- sailing history written.
The Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge Virtual Global Tour 2025 has officially wrapped, bringing a year filled with fierce battles on the water, new personal records and an impressive level of global participation.
What began a decade ago as a side event to the Defi Wind and Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge World Championship in Matas Blancas and which also saved the sport during the tough years of the pandemic has become the world’s biggest digital speed- windsurfing series and 2025 proved once again how strong this community truly is.
