This past weekend, Whistler Sailing was thrilled to host our first ever Women’s Wing Foil Camp on Alta Lake.
The camp brought together a fantastic group of women from a variety of backgrounds, all eager to learn, connect, and develop their wing foiling skills. Throughout the weekend, participants enjoyed a welcoming and supportive environment while building confidence and knowledge alongside fellow riders.
Each morning began with guided stretch and mobility sessions led by Astrid Kent, helping participants prepare both physically and mentally for the day ahead. These sessions quickly became a favourite part of the camp, setting a positive tone for the learning and activities that followed.
With lighter-than-expected winds throughout the weekend, the group made the most of the conditions through a series of classroom and land-based sessions covering wing foil theory, equipment and technique. Participants left with a stronger understanding of the sport and valuable knowledge they can apply on the water.
The positive attitude, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn shown by everyone involved made the weekend a success. We’re looking forward to welcoming the participants back soon to complete the on-water portion of the camp and continue their wing foiling journey.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, as well as Astrid Kent, Sandra Bicego, and our coaching team for helping create such a positive and empowering experience. We can’t wait to get everyone back on the water soon!
