The Swarm Podcast - Trevor Parekh & Tyler Bjorn © WASZP Class

If you are a sailor in North America, this episode is a must-listen. So much is happening in North America, and future markets are about to explode. We catch up with the new distribution and class development team of Trevor Parekh and Tyler Bjorn to discuss, their backgrounds and their passion for the WASZP and turning North America into a foiling powerhouse.

We explore how the business is being set up to service all corners of North America, with unprecedented access to spare parts and new boats. While we speak to Tyler about class development, new events coming in 2023 and beyond as well as new partnership opportunities to help continue the sport's growth in North America using the WASZP as the vehicle.

It is an exciting time to be a WASZP sailor in North America and globally. With 145 entries currently for the European Games, strong entries for the Americas Championships and many internationals joining us in Australia at the end of the year for the WASZP Games it is the place to be.

Not to mention the WASZP Alumni are achieving unbelievable things on the world stage in the professional space of SailGP, Americas Cup and other high-profile classes.
