Local expert Captain Josh Waldman

I’m Captain Josh Waldman, a Bay Area native and seasoned waterman with a passion for all things wind and water. As a 100 Ton Licensed Captain, I bring three decades of experience running a variety of vessels, including powerboats, fishing boats, sailboats, and luxury yachts. My love for sailing the world ignited a passion for wind sports, which I’ve been able to cultivate right in my own backyard. I’ve sailed through ports from Seattle to Panama, including the Galapagos and Tahiti, always drawn by the consistent winds and the desire to explore and grow as an athlete.

At SF Wing Foil Academy, I offer a comprehensive step-by-step curriculum that prioritizes safety while accelerating your learning. I provide a variety of professional gear, including customized beginner boards, ensuring even the newest students have a successful first session. With an extensive selection of masts, foils, boards, and wetsuits, every student enjoys a tailored and comfortable experience. My focus on one-on-one time in the water allows you to learn at your own pace, fostering a genuine love for the sport.
