SAN FRANCISCO, CA—US Sailing and St. Francis Yacht Club (StFYC) in San Francisco, California, have joined together to announce the first-ever US WingFoil Championship being held August 9-11, 2024, in San Francisco. WingFoiling is one of the fastest growing new classes in the sport of sailing, and the heavy breeze conditions and challenging currents of San Francisco Bay are ideal for testing skills in this up-and-coming class.
“StFYC has been at the forefront of the sport’s development, with dozens of members and staff participating in weekly WingFoiling series held throughout the summer. StFYC offers courses for junior sailors and hosted the first WingFoiling Pacific Coast Championship in 2023,” said Felix Weidling, StFYC’s Race Director.
This inaugural championship will give the best WingFoil athletes a national platform to showcase their skills before an American audience. Registration is currently open, w/ late fees beginning after July 16.
