The 2026/27 Hong Kong Windsurfing Circuit, featuring the iQFOiL Championships, concluded successfully on 7-8 November.
Organised by the Windsurfing Association of Hong Kong China, the event was sponsored by Lee Kum Kee Sauce, a company with deep roots in Hong Kong. The sponsorship covered all five events throughout the year, underscoring Lee Kum Kee’s commitment to nurturing local windsurfing talent.
The iQFOiL Championships, a premier local windsurfing competition, began in February and featured five races across various divisions, including Men’s and Women’s Open, U19 Youth, U17 Junior, and U15 Youth/Children.
Competitions were held at notable locations such as Clearwater Bay, Wu Kai Sha, Tolo Harbour, Cheung Chau, and Stanley. These events tested competitors’ skills and adaptability, serving as a platform for accumulating ranking points and selecting representatives for international competitions.
Dodie Hung, Executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs at Lee Kum Kee Sauce, expressed pride in supporting the event, stating, “Windsurfing has no fixed course and the wind conditions can change at any moment, so athletes must make immediate judgements and adjustments on the fly. This ability to continuously challenge oneself and forge ahead echoes Lee Kum Kee’s value of Constant Entrepreneurship.”
Chau Ngai Man, President of the Windsurfing Association of Hong Kong China, highlighted the importance of Lee Kum Kee’s support, which provides athletes with a world-class competitive platform.
Beyond this event, Lee Kum Kee also sponsors the Hong Kong China Sailing Team and will support the 2027 Hong Kong Dragon World Championship.
