One of the exciting things about windfoiling is that it's the meeting of the windsurfing generations and the meeting of the classes. Windfoiling in New Zealand has been attracting kids from Optimist, Laser, 29er and the Wasp. It's the cross pollination of classes and the generations that's leading to the rapid growth of windfoiling. Our Windfoil New Zealand committee is no different, all with a passion for the sport, bringing a wealth of experience and professional skills to the table to help grow and direct the New Zealand Windfoiling class back into the limelight.
