Meet the crew
Jeff Beck, founder of the Downwinder, has been windsurfing since 1984. But after a windsurf foiling clinic in 2020, he decided to make foiling his number one sport. He says, ‘Everything I wanted to do with a regular windsurfer (ride waves) became easier when I started wingfoiling!’ You need less wind and smaller waves to ride, so you can ride in more places and have more fun.
Building Community
The Downwinder’s mission is to spread the joy of foiling and its many health benefits throughout our community. We’re thrilled to be the first to offer affordable and unique ways to get started. Be sure to check out our beginner gear subscription plan, and the gear-for-lessons program.
