Since its inception in 2018, SuMoth has challenged student teams from around the world to push the boundaries of sustainable foiling technology. Each edition showcases the creativity, skill, and determination of our participants — from concept to applied reaserch on water.
The current 2026 SuMoth Challenge on its 8th edition is underway, with teams racing to innovate, test, and excel. Explore past editions to see how ideas evolved, teams thrived, and sustainability advanced in every challenge.
The SuMoth Challenge is proudly supported by 11th Hour Racing, a leading force in advancing sustainability through sport and innovation. Their commitment to protecting our oceans fuels everything we do.
