Watch The SuMoth Challenge: Designing for the Future

Meet Team PoliTo, one of 10 student-led teams competing in the 2024 Foiling SuMoth Challenge on Lake Garda, Italy. Over eight days, Team PoliTo and other teams put their new and innovative boat designs to the test. In this film, we follow the highs and lows of the competition as these university students showcase their sustainable designs.

Will their boat design prove to be the winning formula? And if they don't win, will they come together or fall apart under pressure?The SuMoth Challenge is a unique event—the first and only global competition dedicated to incredibly fast foiling boats, their sailors, designers, and builders. It promotes sustainable innovation by challenging students to design and construct competitive Moth-class compliant boats while considering environmental, social, and economic impacts.

Ian Walsh, big wave surfer “As athletes, ocean health and sustainability are at the heart of what we do – without the ocean, we wouldn’t be here.”

Steve Benjamin, filmmaker “I really want people to fall in love with the ocean, to appreciate it more, and to try to alter their behavior around it. Everything ends up in the ocean, and it’s such a dumping ground for humanity. My hope is that people see the ocean as a living entity that needs to be protected.”

Amory Ross, storyteller “How can I describe the ocean? The ocean is impossible to describe because it is endless; it is full of life, wonder, and mystery.”
