The PWA are delighted to announce its calendar for the 2026 PWA World Tour, which will see the world’s best sailors competing at almost every corner of the globe
The Professional Windsurfers Association (PWA) and the Wave World Tour (WWT) are delighted to announce that they will continue to work together for the 2026 season under the umbrella of the Unified Windsurf Wave Tour. Next year’s Wave calendar will consist of six 5-star events, and one 4-star event, as we continue to strive for a bigger and better Tour to find the ultimate male and female Wave World Champions.
Racing continues to go from strength to strength, and in 2026 the PWA is proud to be working in closer collaboration with IFCA as both organisations take a shared step towards a stronger and more unified international racing structure. With nine events now spread across Europe, the Caribbean and Asia, the partnership is driven by a mutual desire to deliver a clearer, more stable global calendar while safeguarding the long-term health of the sport. By aligning event dates, technical frameworks and key sporting principles, the collaboration helps reduce calendar clashes, avoid unnecessary duplication and provide greater clarity for riders, organisers and manufacturers alike. Above all, it ensures that athletes can plan their seasons with confidence, event organisers can build sustainably, and the sport continues to develop in a coordinated and credible way for the benefit of the entire windsurfing community.
Additionally, for the first time on the PWA World Tour there will be a Foil Freestyle event in Qatar. This will be an exhibition event whilst we move towards official world titles in the future.
