The story
Keep our wind spots open, clean and welcoming.
World Wind Sports is a worldwide network of riders, instructors, schools and spots for kite, wing, windsurf and foil, with local chapters everywhere on the map, from Curry Hammock to Tarifa, Cape Town and Hood River. We're supporting it, and this campaign keeps the spots open, funds chapter programs, access and safety work, and puts crews on the beach for cleanups.
The places
Nobody owns them. Somebody has to look after them.
For most of us it's a strip of sand we could draw from memory. The flats at Curry Hammock where the wind bends in over the mangroves. The launch at Matheson. The long walk out at Crandon. It's where we got humbled, where we got good, where we brought the friend who said they'd never.
For a long time the people looking after those places have been riders, quietly, on our own time. World Wind Sports is how we do it together: a worldwide network of rider-run chapters, one at every spot, each with one job. Keep it open, clean and welcoming.
Keep it open
Launch access is decided in meetings most riders never hear about.
A chapter shows up for those meetings. It maps the launch, writes the comment, and comes back next month. That steady presence is the biggest thing this campaign pays for.
Keep it clean
Tides bring it in. Riders clean up.
Storms and tides keep washing debris onto the beaches we ride. Chapters run cleanup days, carry the bags and gloves, fix the signs and mark the hazards, so the launch stays safe and the dunes and mangroves stay whole.
Keep it welcoming
Everyone starts somewhere.
A spot works when newcomers know where to launch, who has right of way and who to ask. Chapters host sponsored community certification weekends through 1ISO, free for riders who show up. Stewards who put in the work can go on to instructor certification.
Joining the World Wind Sports community is free. You never have to give to ride with us, come to a cleanup or list your home spot.
We've built a community of about 400,000 riders reached across our network and partner channels. This is the first time we're asking them to help fund the work.
