Pro and Recreational fleets welcome to compete

Registration is now open for the 2026 F4 Foils Summer Wingding U.S. Wingfoil Championship at StFYC on July 30-August 2, 2026.

Co-hosted with and US Sailing, and with title sponsor F4 Foils returning, this is the third national championship for the fast-growing sport of wingfoiling. This year’s competitors can register for the competitive Pro Wingfoil Fleet or the recreational Open Wingfoil Fleet, and organizers are anticipating the country’s best foilers will come join the strong contingent of Bay Area sailors who wingfoil daily at Crissy Field.

“This will be the third consecutive year that we have hosted this event and that consistency shows that St. Francis Yacht Club and its dedicated volunteer team are playing a leading role in the development of wingfoiling in the United States,” said Race Director Felix Weidling. In addition to world-class events that draw top talent, the club hosts weekly wingfoil races throughout the summer and offers wingfoil classes as part of its junior sailing program.

“US Sailing is proud to once again work alongside St. Francis Yacht Club as host of the U.S. Wingfoil Championship for a third consecutive year. Their commitment to excellence, innovation and the growth of foiling disciplines makes them an outstanding host, and we’re excited to continue building on this momentum together,” said US Sailing.

Organizers are planning multiple races daily plus one long distance competition—the SF Bay Challenge, on August 1 and open to kiteboards and windsurfers, in addition to wingfoil competitors. More than just a competition, the wingfoil championship is but one element of a weekend-long festival of foiling for participants, family and friends. The Thursday before competition will feature a foiling demo, such as parawing or freestyle, and throughout the weekend event sponsors and board sport companies will have gear and demo opportunities available on Crissy Beach. Non-competitive foilers who may not be gunning for the podium are encouraged to register and participate.

“Conditions should be perfect, with sunny skies and blasting winds, for the best wing racers from around the country and globe competing for the top prize,” said Regatta Chair Geoff Headington. “Be sure to register if you want to compete, or if you’re a fan of the sport make time to come watch the action, demo the gear and meet other wingfoilers. We plan to add other foiling discipline competitions in the days leading up to the event, so keep an eye on the beach!”
