Approx: Hookipa Park (OpenStreetMap). 2026 waiting period October 19 to 30; heats run only on days with good wind and waves, so only some days see competition. Earlier editions ran on other autumn dates (for example November 8 to 10 in 2004). Watch from the Hookipa lookout; parking is very limited on contest days. Check the IWT event page for exact dates.
