Thriv Summer Party 2025 Is About to Make Waves

The sun is out, so are the boards. We are throwing a summer party you won’t soon forget! On the 2nd of August, we’re taking over Laguuni in Espoo with a splash. Professional wakeboarders, us, standup paddling, sauna… Keep reading to know what else is on the menu.

So, what’s happening?

First you get to see the world’s best wakeboarders do their gravity defying tricks at the Laguuni Wake Battle finals. At the same time is our own wake battle, or maybe rather #thrivwakestruggle. You get the opportunity to hop on the board and try wakeboarding for yourself!

What is wakeboarding? The sport that became popular in the 80s is like waterskiing but on one single board. Like the name suggests, you’re standing on a board in the wake of a boat or a cable and being drawn on the water with a rope.

Another way to show off your skills is at our very own SUP polo tournament. Think of standup paddling that meets a polo game: use your paddle to hit a ball into a goal. Without falling. Just kidding, a dip might be inevitable.

Community and chill

You’d rather not take a face plant? No worries. You can enjoy both the company of your peers on the pier, and enjoy food and drinks, warm up in the sauna, relax in the wooden hot tub or take a calm swim in the ocean.

This is your chance to hang with our community - tech freelancers and people looking to see freelancers succeed!
