Welcome to TRY Festival

In November, TRY is hosting its exclusive annual Kitesurf Festival in Ankasy, Madagascar, a groundbreaking fusion of action sports, art, and purpose. And this is just the beginning. In collaboration with Vantage Kiteboarding, we’ve created a limited-edition festival kite, where each kite provides 6,000 liters of purified drinking water for local communities.

During The TRY Festival, the lucky few will embark on a downwinder to Tsiandamba, a breathtaking journey where kitesurfers ride alongside 130 traditional pirogue sailing boats from Project Focus, transforming extreme sports into a force for change.

For 10 unforgettable days, kitesurfing takes center stage, alongside epic beach parties, immersive art installations, and a mission-driven experience like no other. Due to our Festival we can purify 200.000l for the local community of Tsiandamba. TRY with us!

Project FOCUS by Wim Tellier: An Unforgettable Art Experience

For the first time ever, kitesurfing will be combined with Project FOCUS by acclaimed artist Wim Tellier. In collaboration with 250 fishermen, Tellier has created a monumental art installation of 130 traditional pirogues, each adorned with custom sails featuring photographs of irises taken using a technique designed by the artist himself. These boats form an 1800-meter-long exhibition that stretches across the beautiful beach of Ankasy Lodge, with the artwork seeming to disappear into infinity.

The Iris, as the purest part of the human body and a window to the soul, is the central theme of this project. By combining the raw power of kitesurfing with the timeless beauty of art, we are creating a truly unique and emotional experience that transcends both sport and culture.

This is the first event of its kind, where 60 kitesurfers will sail from the ocean, seamlessly connecting to the breathtaking art installation on the beach. It's a perfect example of how art and adventure can come together to inspire and elevate each other.

Downwinder together with Project FOCUS

During the Festival, we are organizing a one-of-a-kind downwinder from Ankasy to Tsiandamba, an extraordinary event unlike anything the world has seen before. Sixty exclusive, limited-edition kites will accompany 130 traditional pirogues from the Focus by Wim Tellier project as they sail to Tsiandamba.

This journey has a profound purpose: Tsiandamba is the village where, in 2025, we will purify 200,000 liters of water using our Rainman Watermakers, bringing life-changing access to clean water.

At the pinnacle of this event, a single, breathtaking drone shot will capture all the limited-edition kites soaring above the majestic landscape, and this image will be shared with the world. Our goal? To highlight the urgent water shortage in Madagascar and purify Cwater through our passion of action sports.
