Founder · Chicama Foil Club

Miguel Lunceford

Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Miguel grew up surfing and exploring the country’s legendary coastline, including Chicama during his high school days. A lifelong waterman and former professional sailor, he has spent extensive time at sea aboard everything from traditional schooners to large cruising sloops. An early foiling enthusiast, his experience spans kite foiling, wingfoiling, tow foiling, SUP downwind foiling, parawinging, and foil assist. He re-engaged with Chicama in 2018 with his foil SUP and rekindled his interest in this special wave.

Built on trusted relationships with Chicama Boutique Hotel management and industry leaders Armstrong Foils and Foil Drive, Chicama Foil Club was created from a shared vision: to provide an exceptional, turnkey foiling experience in one of the world’s most remarkable destinations
