USFoil exists to build America’s foiling future — creating a connected national pathway that supports sailors, clubs, and programs from their first flight through international success.
We are the central hub for foiling development in the United States, working hand-in-hand
with yacht clubs, sailing centers, and schools to make foiling accessible and achievable for sailors of all ages. Our mission is to ensure that every sailor, no matter
their starting point, can experience the thrill of flight and pursue their potential in this
new era of performance sailing.
— Tyler Bjorn, WASZP North American Class Manager

The WASZP is the modern fleet-racing foiler and the world’s established benchmark for one-design foiling. With a global racing circuit, the WASZP delivers true high-performance dinghy foiling in a format that emphasizes skill, athleticism, and development over equipment advantage. As the most widely adopted one-design foiler worldwide, it provides a consistent, fair, and accessible pathway for sailors at every stage—from their first flights to international championship competition.
Built tough for everyday use and available with multiple rig sizes, the WASZP can take sailors from their first foiling experience at age 10 to international competition — all in the same boat. Its simplicity, durability, and affordability make it the natural successor to traditional singlehanded dinghies like the ILCA (Laser).
Just as the Laser once defined performance sailing for generations, the WASZP now represents the next chapter — a platform that rewards skill over equipment, fosters community, and opens the door to the future of the sport. It’s not just a boat; it’s a movement redefining how sailors learn, race, and dream.

Wing foiling represents the next frontier in accessible, high performance sailing. Using lightweight inflatable wings and compact foilboards, wing foiling offers an easy, safe entry point to the world of foiling. Modern wing-foil equipment provides reliable, scalable options for sailors of all ages, from youth learning balance and control on their first flights to experienced racers training agility, board feel, and foiling awareness.
For clubs, schools, and community programs, wing foiling lowers the barrier to entry — quick to set up, highly portable, and operable in a wide range of venues and conditions. It also works well in locations where traditional boats are difficult to store or launch, making foiling accessible in more environments. The simplicity of the gear keeps instruction focused on skills and progression rather than setup or logistics.
As part of the USFoil pathway, wing foiling complements the WASZP by teaching transferable foiling skills and giving athletes an additional platform for cross-training, fitness, and fun. Together, they form the complete foundation for the next generation of American foiling sailors.
Get started with an introductory foiling experience led by certified USFoil coaches. Learn the fundamentals of balance, control, and flight in a fun, safe, and supportive environment designed for all ages and backgrounds.
Keep progressing by attending regional foiling clinics throughout the year. Sail at spectacular venues across the country, meet new friends, and continue building skills under expert guidance while exploring the best foiling spots in America.
Take the next step by joining your local school or club foiling team. Development Teams train regularly, share equipment, and build a strong foundation in teamwork, boat handling, and racing through consistent, structured coaching.
For dedicated young sailors ready to race, the National Youth Development Team provides advanced training, travel opportunities, and national-level competition. Sailors refine their racing, fitness, and mental game while representing their region on the national stage.
Designed for committed athletes transitioning into high-performance racing, the Race Teams deliver professional coaching, performance analysis, and international competition opportunities to prepare sailors for success.
The Podium Team represents the highest competitive tier in North American foiling, uniting the athletes most capable of delivering international results. With elite coaching and a global racing schedule, the team is structured to consistently contend for — and win — medals on the world stage.
