New Zealand’s Sean Herbert, one of the fastest-rising names in wingfoil racing, has officially joined the F4 team.
At the 2025 Wingfoil Racing World Cup in Silvaplana, Sean won the first two long-distance races, one by a 46-second lead and the other in a photo finish, finishing the event with a bronze medal.
Soon after, at the 2025 U.S. Wingfoil Championship in San Francisco, he won 13 out of 15 races in the Open Division. The remaining two results, a first and a second place, were discarded under the scoring system.
With a strong background in high-performance sailing and a clear focus on the podium, Sean is a perfect fit for F4’s commitment to top-level performance and continuous development.
“The performance of these foils has enabled a smooth transition for the upcoming events. We are coming for the top spots.”
Welcome aboard, Sean.
