The 2026 iQFOiL North American Championship will take place in Long Beach, California from July 25 to 27, hosted by Alamitos Bay Yacht Club, bringing top athletes from across the continent to race in the very waters that will host the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic windsurfing events.

Set in Belmont Shore / Long Beach, the regatta offers a unique opportunity for sailors to compete at the future LA28 Olympic venue for Men’s and Women’s iQFOiL, making it a key milestone on the road to the next Olympic Games.

With its reliable Pacific breeze, world-class race area and strong Olympic legacy, Long Beach is one of the most iconic sailing venues in the United States. The championship will not only crown the North American title but also give athletes an early chance to familiarize themselves with the conditions that could define the Olympic podium in 2028.

Hosted by one of the West Coast’s most established yacht clubs, the event promises high-level competition and an exceptional atmosphere in the heart of the Los Angeles sailing scene.
