Windsurf Magazine OnlinePWA 2026 TOUR CALENDAR

The 2026 PWA tour calendar has been released and it looks like it is going to be a busy year with events all over the world lined up! The notable additions to the tour are a foil Grand Slam in Qatar (Racing and a foil freestyle exhibition), Aruba has been upgraded to Pro Slalom-X and Youth Racing, while the Spring, Maui Pro Am has been upgraded to a 5 star event! That will make it two five star wave events in Maui, while it looks like the tour finals will be in Chile in November! Here is the official press release from the PWA:

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.
