The Red Bull Storm Chase is back in 2025!
Eight of the best storm windsurfers in the world will travel to Denmark for an invite-only contest to battle for the crown of extreme windsurfing. The Red Bull Storm Chase is a windsurfing contest pushing the world’s top professional windsurfers to the limit in almost impossible weather conditions.
There is no fixed date or location, only when a perfect storm hits the Danish coastline will the specially selected riders be notified exactly when and where the contest will go down. Receiving ‘the call’ for Red Bull Storm Chase is considered one of the most prestigious honours in the sport and athletes will come from all corners of the globe to take part. We can expect big names taking part like Marcilio Browne, Marc Pare, Philip Köster, Thomas Traversa or Ricardo Campello.
The contest promises wild rides in over 100km/h winds, massive jumps, and huge impacts as the windsurfers push their skills and equipment to the absolute limits.
The weather window is open from February 1 until December 31, 2025 – keep an eye out for a big low-pressure system to reach Denmark for the perfect storm. The competition will be held at a spot in Denmark, what’s well known as the Hawaii of the north.
