King of the Great Lakes Test Fest 2026

King of the Great Lakes (KoGL) is back! Three days of on-water gear demos, brand tents, pro riders, and an energy that can only happen when the Great Lakes kiteboarding and foiling communities show up in one place.
What's happening:
- On-water demos with the latest kiteboarding and foiling gear
- Cornhole with Cado (a KoGL tradition)
- Friday night kickoff at Liquid Assets
- Saturday night Socibowl for reps and attendees
- Brand tents and good vibes all-around!
Just getting into windsports? No problem.
Beachgoer tickets are the perfect way to dip your toes in. Who knows, you might leave ready to sign up for lessons. Just saying.
What if there's no wind?
Our event runs all weekend regardless. A wakeboat and several efoil/foil assist options will be available, and we will have beach games available.
Tickets:
Early bird pricing is available through 9/10. Early ticketholders are guaranteed a t-shirt and swag bag. Last-minute or day-of sign-ups are welcome, but we can't promise there'll be anything left in your size. Don't be that person. 🙂
