Armie Armstrong, the founder and director of Inspire program partner Armstrong Foils said: “What an exciting time to have SailGP's global tour come to our New Zealand home turf down in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. With all our foils, wings and boards inspired by and designed in New Zealand, it's full circle to have these ultimate foiling boats in local waters.”

Armstrong partnered with SailGP’s Inspire program to bring wing foiling to youth sailors around the world.

New Zealand SailGP Team strategist Jo Aleh added: “It's really exciting to see SailGP inspiring the next generation through wing foiling."

"Winging is one of the most accessible forms of foiling around. I've been doing it for a few years already and there's definitely crossover to all forms of foiling boats, so the perfect starter for some of the pretty amazing young foilers who come through the SailGP Inspire program!”

To take part, riders must be aged 21 or under and be highly skilled. Apply by February 10 HERE.
