Surfing a boat's wake without being pulled by a rope... That's wakesurfing. That's pure fun. And that's going to be celebrated as it should be!

From July 16th to 18th, the 5th Wake Surf Festival is going to take place at Lake Walen in Switzerland. In addition to a lot of surf action, participants and visitors can look forward to a great music line-up.
