Awesome news here in New Zealand with the announcement of a world-leading step to adopt gold-standard fishing practices to keep seabirds safe from accidental capture. It’s a massive win for taonga seabirds of Aotearoa including the highly endangered Antipodean Albatross. Super proud of our #RaceForTheFuture partner Live Ocean for their role in making this happen and we're glad to have played a part in taking this to the world stage with the albatross on our wing at the Spain Sail Grand Prix back in 2021.

Black Foils Wing Trimmer and Amokura’s right hand man Blair Tuke’s earliest memory of sailing was the freedom he’d feel navigating the Bay of Islands with his family. Now he’s at the heart of how our team are continuing to push the boundaries of the sport we’re so fond of!
