Hel Riders 2025 – 4th edition of the festival has become history

On June 7–8, 2025, the Hel Peninsula once again became a mecca for lovers of motoring, art, music, skateboarding and the surfing lifestyle, reaching a completely new level of scale and diversity of attractions.
Over 100 unique vehicles parked on the event grounds, most of which were classic air-cooled Porsche models – the essence of the Hel Riders spirit. The festival began with an off-road prologue in the mine, where a dozen or so off-road Porsches faced the sands and obstacles, symbolically opening a weekend full of excitement.

Movement is freedom
During the 9 Road Tours, on a picturesque route leading through the entire Hel Peninsula, 100 participants rode over 50 kilometers, experiencing exceptional community and closeness to nature. In turn, the Kaszebe Surfari rally led 75 two-person crews on a route of over 150 kilometers, ending with a dinner in the middle of the forest – the culmination of slow driving and local flavors.

Between art and adrenaline
Hel Riders combines the world of motoring with creativity – a clear symbol of this was Mateusz Von Motz’s installation “Keep it Magic”, in which fragments of the classic 911 gained new life on a mirror wall. For the first time, a skateboarding competition was also held on a floating ramp, drifting on the waters of the Bay of Puck – a combination of adrenaline and sea breeze in its purest form.
In parallel, there were artistic workshops: screen printing and poster printing, as well as a workshop where shapers created surfboards in front of the audience. The tattoo studio served people who took with them from the festival not only memories, but also souvenirs for life.

New spaces, new flavors
This year’s edition also included a photo spot in the port of Jastarnia, which extended the event’s reach to a wider audience, and an additional Road Flavor event – a photo session with yellow classics in the port of Władysławowo, which arrived at the final on the pitch at Chałupy 6. The premiere of the new Surfari project based on the 911 took place in the atmospheric “Żeglarz” Cinema in Jastarnia.

For body and soul
A new accent was the space dedicated to women – participants could take part in brunch and yoga, as well as visit two mobile wellness salons created inside an Airstream trailer. Emotions were also raised by the Motorsport Zone with competitions in which the prize was a trip to a racing weekend as part of the Porsche Sports Cup Deutschland, and 3DOF simulators, where you could sit behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS in a virtual race. In the DAKAR Zone, participants could admire the legendary Porsche 924, which took 4th place in this year’s Dakar Classic rally.

Music and conversations
The highlight was the extraordinary concert of the project “Albo Inaczej”, in which top jazz and hip-hop vocalists (Krystyna Prońko, Andrzej Dąbrowski, Eldo, Kasia Lins, Host: Te-Tris) met on one stage, performing iconic pieces in a jazz-funk version.

On Sunday, there were also 7 inspiring interviews on the main stage, which will soon be available on the YouTube channel.

The fourth edition of Hel Riders showed that Hel Riders is not just a meeting of classic motoring fans – it is a lifestyle, a creative platform and a space for passion, where everyone can find something for themselves. It is a community space that celebrates their passions together.
