    How ENSIS is Championing Women in Foil Board Sports

    Innovation in any field, from technology to sports equipment, thrives on diverse perspectives. Just as scientific breakthroughs are strengthened by the contributions of women, so too is the creation of high-performance sporting gear. However, a gender gap persists, particularly in the research and development side of sports. This is a systemic issue, reflected in fields like engineering where only around 20% of engineering undergraduates in the UK are women. This is certainly true in the world of foil board sports, where women are often underrepresented. At ENSIS, we're not just riding waves; we're reshaping them, both on the water and in the industry. And we're doing it with the help of valuable team riders like Laura.
