THE FOILING MIX

RACING

Foiling Week was the launching pad for most of the foiling classes currently in circulation, by giving their sailors the opportunity to compete against each other for the first time.

TRIALS

Foiling Week tests and trials are open to sailors and beginners with the possibility to sail the latest foiling boats, boards and gears.

SOCIAL THEMES

We try to give as much support as possible to relevant Social issues by spreading messages to our community. #weareallinthesamebottle – #Sail4Chico – #loveislove – #foilisfoil – #backthebid
