Hi,

Great to see Gunnar B as rider representative.

I wish that they would just call it something with "Wingfoiling". "Wing Sports" is too wide and could be misunderstood to include many different sports, eg paragliding, hanggliding etc.

Yet as wakestyle died just in between events, the expectation is to happen to foil racing too.
