WISSA 2025

The longest running and most prestigious international competition for three individual sports is taking place in Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A. 3-8 February 2025.

The World Ice and Snow Sailing Association [ WISSA] Ice and Snow Sailing World Championships is the frozen water version for 3 well known wind sports. 

• Windsurfing - since 1980

• Wing Sails - since 1991

• Kites - since 1993

These water sports were adapted to winter snow and ice almost as soon as they were invented.  They move at speeds considerably faster than in their originally intended environment. 

The event in Madison will showcase some of the world’s best riders. World Champions will be crowned in both Elite and Recreational divisions. Sponsors will enjoy excellent exposure, riders will have highly qualified international judges, and spectators will be surrounded by a vibrant schedule of events.

 See you in Madison!

Moving North, after Santa!

WISSA 2020 is relocated to the north, to Lestijärvi, Finland, as in Estonia and southern Finland the winter has not arrived yet.

Lestijärvi has very good conditions, 30-40cm of smooth ice, at moment covered with some snow. The forecast shows more colds and some snow. The lake is big enough (64,7 km²) to accommodate course race tracks for kites and sleds-wings at the same time.
Accommodation information will be found on our accommodation page at 29.01.2020.
Race area and race office locations will be announced next week.

We also want to thank Lestijärvi municipality and talvisurf.fi for helping in relocation.

If you need any assistance with your travel, please contact us or reply to this e-mail.
