2026 U.S. WingFoil Championship

Date: 30 July 2026 – 2 August 2026

Location: St. Francis Yacht Club, San Francisco, United States

Organizer: US Sailing

St. Francis Yacht Club hosts the third U.S. WingFoil Championship from July 30 to August 2, 2026, racing off Crissy Field on San Francisco Bay. The venue is the draw here: reliable summer sea breeze funnelling through the Golden Gate, strong current, and the bridge as a backdrop. Racing is split into a High Performance fleet for the front of the pack and a Recreational fleet for riders who want starts and courses without the full arms race. Entry is open, so this is a national championship you can simply sign up for. Saturday August 1 also features the SF Bay Challenge, a long-distance dash around the bay. Expect a mix of pro riders and weekend foilers sharing the same water, which is still one of the sport's better traditions.
