Van der Valk Hotel Luxembourg-Arlon backs the Benelux Rapid Surf as main sponsor and host of the event.
The first rapid surfing championship of the Benelux — three days of competition on the indoor standing wave at Surf Luxembourg, Van der Valk Arlon.
The Benelux Rapid Surf 2026 brings the region's best riders together for the first dedicated rapid surfing championship of the Benelux. Instead of the ocean, athletes take on a powerful indoor standing wave — a fast, endless wall of water that rewards control, style and speed. Organised by ASLA Asbl (Association Surf Luxembourg Arlon), affiliated with the Belgian surf federation, the event blends serious competition with a festival atmosphere for riders, families and fans.
Riders compete across four divisions, judged fairly on wave count, control, power and progression by a dedicated panel. Full rules and heat draws are published ahead of the event.
The premier division — the fastest, most progressive riding of the weekend.
The women's field, riding for the first Benelux rapid surf title.
The next generation, under 18, showing the future of the sport.
35+ riders proving experience never goes out of style.
Official practice, registration and seeding runs on the wave.
Riders battle through the qualification rounds across all divisions.
Finals day, prize-giving and the crowning of the first champions.
Schedule and format are indicative and subject to confirmation by the organisation.
The championship runs on the indoor standing wave of Surf Luxembourg, inside the Van der Valk Hotel Luxembourg-Arlon — a perfect, controllable wave all year round, whatever the weather. Around the wave: a surf village with food, retail, sponsor activations, live music and daily ceremonies.
Spectators are welcome all weekend at the surf village. Can't make it to Arlon? The finals will be shared through our livestream and social channels — follow along to catch every ride, wherever you are.

Rapid surfing is surfing on a stationary "standing" wave created by fast-flowing water. The wave never ends, so riders can carve, pump and land tricks continuously — it's fast, technical and spectacular to watch.
