Foiling World returns to boot Düsseldorf with a renewed mission: to bring the culture, curiosity, and creativity of modern foiling to the heart of the world’s biggest meeting place for water sports.
Curated by The Foiling Organization, the Foiling World brings together athletes, designers, innovators, and curious newcomers around the ideas pushing the sport forward.
Hall 15 comes alive with the people reshaping how we glide, race and travel on foils. As you move through the space, the picture becomes clearer: foiling is not a single idea, but a collection of many minds working in parallel.
Boatyards, designers, engineers, athletes and start-ups bring their latest ideas to the floor: new boards, fast hulls, clever components, smart systems and concepts that test the limits of imagination.
The companies shaping the future of foiling at Hall 15.
In addition to visiting exhibitors and discovering the latest innovations, BOOT 2026 will also feature a dedicated talk hosted by The Foiling Organization, included in the official programme.
As usual, it represents an opportunity to step back from products and engage in shared reflection, exchange perspectives and connect around the future of foiling and sailing.
Foiling Week shows how a high-performance sailing event can evolve into a destination platform, shaping international positioning, identity and long-term value.
Using Malcesine (Lake Garda) as a case study, the session explores how sport, industry and community can be aligned to build visibility specialization and year-round relevance for a destination.
Marine insurance expertise, innovation, and a vision for the future. Founded in 1875 as Ropner Shipping Company, Ropner Marine Insurance has been broking at Lloyd’s since 1969.
Today, it is a leading provider of bespoke marine insurance across Lloyd’s and company markets. Its partnership with the foiling world underlines commitment to innovation, sustainability, and the future of marine sports and business.
Outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world recognise Malcesine as a reference point for its variety of sports. Lake Garda’s steady winds and excellent facilities make the “Foiling Capital” one of the most exciting sailing destinations worldwide.
At the heart of it all: Fraglia Vela Malcesine. Home of Foiling Week since its very first edition. A benchmark for top-level regattas, Olympic sailing, and a testing ground for boats destined to make history. Recently appointed “Foiling Performance Base” by The Foiling Organization.
