- Abu Dhabi deep dive – why foiling (e-foil, wakefoil, wing, kite, surf, pump) is exploding in the Gulf and how the event showcased every flavor of the sport.
- E-foil racing at the highest level yet – Justin Chait remains undefeated in 2025, Agnes takes the women’s division, and we talk 3G corners, wingtip-out carving, and why technical skill still beats raw speed.
- Wakefoil’s breakout moment – first fully independent SFT wakefoil comp, drone + boat broadcasting magic, and why wakefoiling could be the most spectator-friendly foiling discipline out there.
- The massive growth nobody saw coming – from a hopeful start to nine events worldwide in year one, with a 2026 calendar dropping in the next couple weeks.
- What’s next for SFT in 2026 – more surf foil, downwind, wakefoil, the return of the epic indoor Düsseldorf pump & wing event, and a brand-new Foil Assist discipline that mixes propulsion take-offs with pure pumping sections.
- Plus Tom’s love for açaí bowls at Brazilian sunset and maybe sneaking in some surf trips to Nicaragua or Costa Rica before heading home.
Year one of the Surf Foil World Tour is officially in the books and it’s safe to say foiling just went global – big budgets, big crowds, and bigger stoke. Here’s to 2026 being even wilder.
