A few years ago, like so many water sports enthusiasts, I fell in love with the new world of winging. However, I noticed a significant barrier: the high cost of gear that kept many from trying out this incredible sport. That’s why FTERO (Greek word meaning 'wing') was founded, with the mission to make wing foiling accessible to everyone through high-quality, affordable wings.
Leveraging my background in engineering, the journey began with the DOME, the flagship wing designed in the UK. It quickly became a game-changer in the wing foiling community, earning FTERO a 94% customer satisfaction rate. This was a proud milestone, showing that commitment to affordability and quality resonates with wingers at all levels.
Building on the success of the DOME, two specialised wing lines were launched—one for beginners/intermediates, focusing on stability and ease of use, and another for advanced riders seeking higher performance and agility. These offerings reflect the passion for supporting every stage of a wing foiler’s journey, whether they’re just starting out or pushing the limits with advanced manoeuvres.
Outside of FTERO, I live in the world of tech - leading strategic partnerships at Cisco across Europe. My expertise and love for innovation & technology influences everything we do at FTERO, as we continually strive to innovate and grow the sport we love.
I'm excited about the opportunity to share my story and insights on "The Wing Life Podcast" and connect with fellow wing foiling enthusiasts!
