At the tenth edition of Lakeventure, plenty of foil action took place at the Rindbach area in Ebensee. For the first time ever, the world’s best pump foilers came to Austria as part of the Surf Foil World Tour. The opening on Saturday featured bright sunshine and perfect conditions. In the women’s competition, the showdown is set for Sunday, with 17-year-old Vienna native Viola Lippitsch aiming to claim the title on Lake Traunsee.
In pump foil, riders rely solely on muscle power: athletes keep their hydrofoils gliding above the water through rapid leg movements — without wind and without waves. This makes the discipline one of the toughest tests of endurance, speed, and technique. The Surf Foil World Tour is staging a pump foil event in Austria for the very first time this weekend.
