Calabria is getting ready to host one of the most eagerly awaited events of the summer: from 23 to 27 July 2025, the Wind Crossing of the Strait returns to Reggio Calabria, the international event dedicated to water sports that lights up the energy of the Reggio Calabria coast every year and attracts athletes from all over the world.

A spectacular, zero-impact format featuring kitesurfing, windsurfing, sailing, SUP and, from this year, WingFoil, the new discipline that is revolutionising the beaches. Dozens of coloured sails will cross the legendary Strait of Messina in a challenge between sea and wind, between adrenaline and respect for the environment.

The heart of the event will be divided between the city centre, enlivened by events, sports and entertainment, and the Wind Park at Punta Pellaro, a reference point for sports and innovative tourism, with a breathtaking view of one of the most evocative natural settings in the Mediterranean.

With over 165,000 admissions recorded in past editions, live streaming, international television coverage and an increasingly global outlook, the Strait crossing confirms its role as ambassador of a dynamic, sustainable and increasingly connected Calabria.

The event is organised by NewKiteZone of Punta Pellaro.
