At Armstrong Foils, we’re proud to be partnered with SailGP to Inspire the Next Generation in our sport.
Together, we’re bringing the future of foiling to new audiences and riders around the world. If you’re a wing foiler between 15 and 20 years old, now’s your chance to jump in on the action.
The SailGP Inspire the Next Generation program, also supported by global partner Mubadala, aims to showcase possibilities on the water and inspire the next generation to get involved in foiling.
After two seasons with wing foiling as a component of the Inspire program, wing foiling is now the exclusive focus for a live and globally broadcast audience at select events.
We are inviting riders to apply to participate in upcoming SailGP Inspire events.
If you are between 15 and 20 years old, an experienced wing foiler and based near one of the events listed below, you’re fully eligible for consideration. We’re committed to creating opportunities for all genders and aim to achieve a balanced representation in the program. It’s an incredible way to take your course racing and freestyle winging to the next level. Over a long weekend, you’ll be part of a select group given the opportunity to connect with peers, learn about foiling, and share the stoke with new audiences by riding in a live and televised performance in front of the event grandstand.
“The whole team here at Armstrong are so passionate about foiling and bringing the sport to new audiences every day. Our partnership with SailGP is a fantastic way for us to fulfill that mission with a partner that’s equally dedicated to the future of foiling.” – Nathan Tuke, Armstrong Foils
