AFTER LE DEFI: SUPER-8

What’s next after Le Defi?

Still buzzing from Le Défi? Or maybe you’ve seen the photos, watched the highlights, and now you’re fired up to get involved yourself? The good news: the summer action is only just beginning. The UKWA has a brace of epic events lined up over the coming months, with Super 8 set to deliver more adrenaline, more racing and lots of unforgettable moments on the water. Whether you’re hungry to compete or simply looking for the thrill of taking part, there’s plenty more to come this season. Scott Harrison has sent us all the details right here!


SCOTT HARRISON: “If you did the Defi wind and are now recovering, or it’s inspiring, but just too much (and I should know it’s a lot, I just got back – destroyed!) then here’s the perfect UK windsurfing weekend away. UKWA Super-8. The one hour classic got upgraded Defi style, making it more fun, more achievable, less hanging around and well, just better for everyone!”

– Two events in great locations, designed by riders for riders.

– Stokes Bay 20/21 June and Christchurch July 18/19 July.

– The evolution of the One Hour Classic, arguably last years most fun UK events.

– You don’t need race gear-if it floats it’ll do ! 

– If you can beach start & use a harness you’re good enough.

– Legendary socials.

– Figure of 8 course with simple starts.

– Fin, Foil or Wing.

– Free UKWA membership for the event.

Entry for the first event is now open at : https://ukwindsurfing.com/events/2026/super-8-festival-1/

Don’t hang round, enter today and we’ll see you there !
