Ride the Tradewinds: Experience Aruba Hi-Winds 2025

Every year, Aruba’s shores come alive with the exhilarating energy of Aruba Hi-Winds, the Caribbean’s premier watersports festival. Celebrating its 37th edition in 2025, this exciting five-day event is a must-see for adrenaline seekers, beach lovers, and anyone ready to soak up the vibrant island spirit.

Since 1986, Aruba Hi-Winds has grown from a small local windsurfing competition into an internationally renowned event, attracting top athletes from around the globe.

With Aruba’s steady trade winds and crystal-clear waters, it’s no wonder the island has become a favorite playground for watersports enthusiasts.

The main action takes place at Fisherman’s Huts in Noord: a beach perfectly suited for windsurfing and kitesurfing with its shallow waters, steady winds, and wide open spaces.

During Hi-Winds, the area transforms into a colorful, high-energy hub where the sky fills with sails and kites, and the beach buzzes with excitement.

Action-Packed Competitions

Aruba Hi-Winds isn’t just about windsurfing anymore, the event now features a dynamic mix of competitions, including:

• Windsurfing (Slalom and Long-Distance Races)

• Kitesurfing (Freestyle and Long-Distance)

• Wing Foiling (the newest trend combining kitesurfing and windsurfing)

• Sunfish Sailing (a test of classic sailing skills)

• Mountain Biking (for those who love land-based thrills)

From seasoned pros to passionate amateurs, competitors of all levels take to the water and trails, creating an atmosphere that’s both competitive and welcoming.

More Than a Sports Event

Aruba Hi-Winds is as much about community and celebration as it is about competition.

When the races end for the day, the beach comes alive with:

• Live Music by local and international artists

• Sunset Beach Parties filled with dancing, food, and fun

• Family Activities that make it a true all-ages event

It’s a festival where locals and visitors connect, celebrate, and share Aruba’s love for the sea and sun.
