St. Francis Yacht Club (StFYC) and US Sailing have opened registration for the second annual US Wingfoil Championship, to be held in San Francisco, California, June 20-22, 2025.

St. Francis Yacht Club has been at the forefront of the sport’s development, with a growing number of members and locals participating in wingfoil events and competing in the club’s weekly wingfoiling series held throughout the summer. StFYC offers wingfoil courses for junior sailors and hosted the first National Championship in 2024, as well as the first Pacific Coast Championship in 2023.

“We are thrilled to once again host the 2025 US Wingfoil Championship, bringing together the best wingfoil athletes from across the nation.” said Felix Weidling, Race Director of StFYC. “This event showcases the incredible skill, speed and agility of wingfoiling, and we look forward to an exciting competition on the beautiful waters of San Francisco Bay. This sport is growing fast and I believe that we will see wingfoiling in the 2032 Olympics, so it’s important to have high level competitions now.”

On Thursday, June 19, StFYC will also host a Global Wingsports Association (GWA) Surf-Freestyle event. Designed to showcase the highest levels of trick performance and expression, competitors will battle in heats performing a variety of air moves and surfing waves, with judges scoring their best tricks. The winner of this event will receive a GWA Wild Card, granting them entry to any Surf-Freestyle event within the next 12 months.

“We are proud to be the title sponsor of the 2025 Wingfoil Championship. At F4 Foils, we are dedicated to designing and manufacturing high-performance foils, boards and wings for windfoiling, wingfoiling and surf foiling,” said Memo Michailov, CEO of F4 Foils. “Our products are renowned for their speed, stability and smooth ride, making them a favorite among both recreational riders and competitive athletes. We are committed to precision craftsmanship and innovation, ensuring unmatched control and performance.”

“I am excited to once again bring this event to San Francisco Bay, Crissy Field and St. Francis Yacht Club,” said Geoff Headington, the club’s event chair and a competitor. “We expect to see competitors, their families and friends, spectators and other enthusiasts fully immerse themselves into all things wingfoiling during the week of activities.”
