Surf Opening 2025: Bigger Parties in Vienna and at Lake Stubenberg

With providers from Rust, Weiden, and Breitenbrunn, three lakeside communities are now also participating when the water sports season is opened from April 30 to May 4, organizer Gerhard Polak stated to the APA on Monday. In total, over 40 providers from all nine federal states are participating so far.

With the "Westcoastkiters" from Breitenbrunn, kitesurfing is now also represented - after all, the sport in which Valentin Bontus won Olympic gold for Austria in August 2024 near Marseille, Polak emphasized. Instead of a single large party, as in the past in Podersdorf or Neusiedl, he is now focusing on regional events that aim to attract and introduce people to water sports. With free admission, they should have the opportunity to try out board sports and get to know the community in their region.

Larger parties take place in Vienna and at Lake Stubenberg

With "Surfmax," Lake Constance is also newly included. "So we are now really from Lake Constance to Lake Neusiedl," Polak noted. Larger celebrations only take place where the infrastructure is already available and does not have to be created from scratch for an event. This is the case in Vienna at the Vienna City Beach Club on the New Danube and at Himmel & Wasser on the Danube Island, as well as in Styria at the Seehof Beachclub on Lake Stubenberg. Other providers who want to participate can still register.

Around Lake Neusiedl, the Lake Opening of Burgenland Tourism takes place simultaneously - from April 25 to May 4. The newly designed "Beach and Surf Fest" at the Neusiedl beach replaces the Surf Opening, which last took place there.
