Makani Andrews
iQFOiL
One sailor. One foil. A rising storm on the horizon.
Born in Kāneʻohe, Oʻahu, Makani lives up to his name — “wind” — a force that never stops moving. Calm on the surface, electric underneath. At just seventeen, he’s already carving his name into the world stage — proof that the next generation of American foilers isn’t coming. It’s already here.
Makani isn’t just fast…he’s thoughtful. He studies pressure, not as something to fear, but something to ride. His greatest weapon? Mindset. He races free of expectation, confident in the unknown. From training alongside teammates like Noah Lyons and Garrett January, he’s learned maturity, balance and how to find calm in competition.
Guided by a deep respect for his craft and his culture, Makani approaches every race as both an athlete and an artist. Each gust, each gybe, each glide is a conversation with the wind — and he’s fluent.
Countless hours refining technique, chasing consistency, building power for heavy air. The work never stops, and neither does he.
Because for Makani Andrews, iQFOiLisn’t just a sport. It’s motion. It’s mindset. It’s the wind — and he’s learning to become it.
