After the high stress of a major international competitive event, these athletes look for a different challenge to recharge. The sailors were introduced to the new sport of Wing foiling by Armstrong Foils creator and designer Armie Armstrong.
They were quick to see the potential and master the skills to ride your own personal hydrofoil. The top competition sailors have brought a wealth of foiling knowledge and design idea’s to the New Zealand based foil brand and their top-of-the-line range of foil equipment.
Wing foiling is experiencing rapid global growth as people discover its accessibility to all levels of water users.
As Blair Tuke said, “With minimal gear, we can enjoy a day off competitive sailing, have a lot of fun and learn something new, exciting and challenging.”
