Foiling made simple, fun, and accessible — that's the promise from BirdyFish, and sailors will have the chance to experience it first-hand at the Hayling Island SC Demo Weekend.

For the first time in the UK, all three BirdyFish models will be available to test sail:

  • BirdyFish - the original double-hander

  • BirdyFish S - a versatile single-hander

  • NEW BirdyFish Ioda - lightweight single-hander, designed for sailors up to 95kg.

The Ioda, launched this autumn, is compact, quick to rig, and takes off in just 8 knots of breeze — making foiling more accessible than ever.

With the BirdyFish French team on site and a limited number of ex-charter boats available, this is a unique chance to try the full range and find the right foiling fit — whether you're looking for double-handed thrills, single-handed speed, or the perfect youth pathway.

Dates: 18-19 October 2025
Venue: Hayling Island Sailing Club

Places for demo sails are limited — sign up now to secure your slot and take flight with BirdyFish!
