Proust Racing Lab

Last year, during the Formula Wing World Cup in Türkiye, together with @mateodussarps , we developed and used in competition a system to open and close the trailing edge on our wings. A simple prototype: adjust the wing profile while riding, between power and control. No marketing plan. No announcement. No patent. Just for fun. Just testing, in real conditions. And it works. Today, this principle can be found across several wing and hardware manufacturers, including @ozone.wing , @vayu.world and @clamcleatsltd . Ideas spread fast. 🤙🚀 The ones that last are the ones that work. Glad to see our work helping to push race wings forward. We keep searching. #research #development #gofastonwater #fastisfun

🥈 at Hong Kong World cup @wingfoilracing Still can’t believe it ! Hard work is paying. Nearly crash on the starting line just after the start but manage to pump as hard as I could to take the lead but suddenly no wind at the top mark and dropped of the foil.

Season 2026 is already underway. After a very short break and a lot of training, flying to Hong Kong tonight for the first stop of the WingFoil Racing World Cup. A new cycle begins, with a season built in continuity: no rupture, just clear ambitions. From February 4 to 8, the meeting point is the demanding spot of Stanley Main Beach. First showdown of the year, first benchmarks, first gaps. This is where the winter work starts to speak. This new season is part of a structured project, designed for the long term. Thanks to my partners @vayu.world , @forward_wip , and @harken_france , with performance support from @vakaros_sailing Let’s go. @lisawindsurfing @captainscafelarochelle
