The first and unique global event committed to the amazingly fast foiling boats and boards, their sailors, designers, manufacturers and … followers.
WHAT IS FOILING WEEK
SINCE 2014
11 editions in Italy.
Special events in Australia, USA and Saudi Arabia.
Over 140 days of racing and collateral events, 3,500 athletes, sponsors, journalists, influencers and, above all, our beloved Foiling Community formed by nearly 120K organic followers.
A WORLD SAILING SPECIAL EVENT

At We Are Foiling, we work to bring sailing back at Paralympic Games.
