OUR PURPOSE / PURPOSE
Beyond disciplines, a base to progress.
Next Foil Japan connects athletes across foil disciplines and creates opportunities for shared training, competitive exchange and youth development. We especially aim to give the next generation—including middle school, high school and university athletes—a place to meet across disciplines and regions and keep progressing over time.

07OPERATING PRINCIPLES / PRINCIPLES
OPERATING PRINCIPLES / PRINCIPLES
Put resources back into the mission.
Next Foil Japan is not operated primarily for profit.
Any funds generated through activities will be prioritized for safety management, rescue systems, training environments, reducing participation costs for younger athletes and other expenses necessary to the NFJ mission.
NFJ is not intended to distribute profits to its members. Any surplus will, as a general principle, be directed toward future NFJ activities.
NFJ is currently in preparation for establishment. This does not represent that NFJ already holds a legal corporate status.
LOCAL COOPERATION / COOPERATION
LOCAL COOPERATION / COOPERATION
NFJ respects the way each activity area is used and places priority on prior coordination with municipalities, local organizations, communities, fishing stakeholders, sport bodies, marine sport operators and existing users. NFJ will not determine water access or operating methods on its own; cooperation with the local community is a prerequisite for activity.
SAFETY FIRST / SAFETY
SAFETY FIRST / SAFETY
When training on the water, NFJ considers weather and sea conditions, participant ability, rescue coverage, launch and return checks, emergency communications and the safety equipment required. A detailed safety plan will be developed for each event or camp in coordination with the host area and relevant stakeholders.
