The Speed:World:Cup is the officially sanctioned world tour of the International Speed Windsurfing Class (ISWC), the Professional Kite Riders Association (PKRA) and ISAF.

In total, there are 200 to 300 competitors at the same time, from places like Australia, Brasil, Germany and Norway. The Tour has to offer: dynamic, thrilling action, and bring the most visually dynamic aquatic sports to the audience, making it a perfect vehicle to locate sponsors logos; a sport that is set outdoors, healthy and environmental friendly. Superb action on the water, combined with an interactive and exciting life experience, that creates an atmosphere where the fans and the media are face to face with the most radical and intense competition and the biggest personalities of the sport.
