Unfortunately, due to the worldwide coronavirus outbreak, these are exceptional times for all of us. It's our mission to unite riders from all over the world, but it’s also our top priority to look after the well-being, health, and safety of our riders and the locals of Aillon-le-Vieux, the location of the Woodwings longboard camp.
With a lot of pain in our hearts, we have to inform you that your 2020 longboard camp cannot take place as planned. This situation is extremely hard on us all. As a community, we are sad and disappointed, but also hopeful, because we know that we are much stronger than this setback. What we started together in 2015 became a strong international symbol for longboarding and we will continue to build on that.
Anyone who already planned on joining Camp Woodwings in June or July will now have dozens of questions. That makes perfect sense, and we fully understand. We strive to email everyone personally within the next week and provide an update in your personal Woodwings account.
Despite the enormous disappointment, we would like to call on everyone again to follow their local government's guidelines closely. Stay at home, wash your hands, and keep your distance from one another. Do it for yourself, your loved ones, and the exceptional medical staff all over the world who are working around the clock.
Take good care of each other and stay safe.

Last year we welcomed seven nationalities during the first wave. This year EIGHT! That's truly insane! On top of that, we can proudly add one more nationality to the Camp Woodwings nationalities counter: with attendee Kim coming all the way from Canada, this brings it on 21 nationalities so far. Stoked to meet you in 6 months Kim!
Something very, very interesting happened with the male/female ratio. We’re super happy to see that over 5 years more and more girls are registering for a male-dominated action sport (camp). When we closed the first wave, we couldn’t believe our eyes: 17 girls vs. 13 boys registered so far. Say what?! Will the girls be running the camp this summer, boys?
Need some help with planning your international trip? You might find the right answers here. Or just e-mail us! Our team will be more than happy to help you with that!

5 YEARS BABY, 5 YEARS !! Next year it will be five years since we were hanging out in the Belgian Ardennes where we came up with the idea of organizing a longboard camp, pretty much a one of its kind. We don’t know about you, but those past years got us pretty fired up. To celebrate this 5-year anniversary in the good old fashioned Woodwings way, we are now looking to add a new European location AND a first-ever United States location to our program!
... and you can WIN (most probably) the BEST LIFETIME longboard reward in the history of all humanity.

Last weekend we were invited for a live interview on a well-known and well-regarded topicality program 'The Seventh Day' on the Belgian national TV channel 'One'.
René Joye en Axel Impens came by the studio to tell more about their video which was recorded at WoodWings last summer. The video went viral in Belgium so it's needless to say that it contains spectacular footage.
You can watch the full interview again on Sporza by clicking this link.
Note: We would like to point out that although the host called our actions rather unsafe and insane, we are EXTREMELY grateful for this opportunity. Having the first ever live interview on a Belgian #1 sports program is a big step forward in promoting our great sport. Keep in mind that snowboarders weren't allowed on many slopes back in the days because they were considered being reckless. Nowadays it's on the Olympics and backflipping a driving car seems to be cool... It's only human to label something unfamiliar as dangerous.
Those boys are trained athletes with many years of experience. The road was completely closed for traffic and we double checked the road for dirt and stones. We do not approve the open road crashes shown in the video and we work hard to avoid 'idiot stunts' like that.

Yesterday the Belgian government organised an national 'go play outside' day. Kids left school at noon with no homework and all television channels were shut off during the afternoon. It was absolutely astonishing seeing so much kids playing on the car free streets. Our team had so much fun and went to sleep happy as a kid! Keep spinning those wheels!
