HELLO INVESTORS!

People love strapping themselves to a pair of skis or a snowboard so they can whoosh down a mountainside. Tens of millions of people spend tens of billions worth of dollars to ski or snowboard every year. Unfortunately for them climate change is lurking to spoil their fun.

Since the turn of the century hundreds of ski resorts have closed, and the ones that are still in operation, on average, their ski season is a month shorter. According to Scientific American, of the twenty-two Winter Olympic sites, eighteen of them will not be able to support the event by mid century.

As Sun-Tzu said, “In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity.” Foil Flyer has created airfoiling, an opportunity created by climate change.

Airfoiling will be more exciting, safer, and more accessible than skiing and snowboarding. People love whooshing down mountainsides, and they do not necessarily have to do it a particular way. In the early eighties few people snowboarded, by mid century tens of millions were, and snowboarding had to compete directly with skiing. Skiing and snowboarding can have their season, airfoiling will be happy with the other three seasons and fill-in when their season is snowless, which is happening more and more often thanks to our changing climate. Also, airfoiling will be able to be practiced in places skiing and snowboarding could never exist. Imagine a skiing/snowboarding/surfing like experience in the tropics.

Come airfoiling with me, and together we can taste adrenaline’s rapture.
