James: This was a fun session out at my local. It's rare to be able to wing here but on this day the waves were about as good as it gets. The wind was a little gusty, but that is the north side of Sydney for you.
Jeremy Wilmotte, Maroubra, Australia
Rider Jeremy Wilmotte, location Maroubra, Australia, photographer Steve Turner
Jeremy: The best days are always when you get to finish work a bit early and the wind happens to turn offshore. With good waves comes insane crowds at these city beaches, and as the photo shows I literally had a part of the bank by myself, one that surfers could not access. The masses will catch on soon enough. Surely they can't live in denial forever…
Olivia Piana, Algarve, Portugal

Olivia: The west coast of southern Portugal is not much famous for wingfoiling, with its capricious winds and difficult access. It taught me to sail in a different way to catch those beautiful swells that make Portugal a magical surfing country. I had to get used to sail with big gear in light wind and strong current. Wingfoiling here is always a challenge as mother nature gives its limits! When it works (quite rarely) you can only be amazed to sail in the middle of nothing, surrounded by everything... It's a unique feeling of humility and gratitude. Every time I think I'm so lucky to be able to ride this kind of spot.
