Episodes
147 - Edo the Champ
A threepeat for Edo this year at the M20 and he had a clean sheet throughout the Hawaiian race season this year.

147 - Casa Del Liam and Freddies trip to Mauritius
lots has been going on outside of the Podcast world we've mde ourselves - and very little foiling has been going on in our world because of it!A little catch up to see how Liams house renovations been going - its kept him very busy!Freddie also spent a week on mauritius for a kite surf event which made for some funny shenanigans.Lots going on with the first couple downwind races as well - alwa
145 - Guy's Big Send
We should't need to explain it - you all saw Guy's socials last week just gone - but the man did a big downwind send across the whole of the south coast of the UK. We managed to catch up with he and Emma a week later to see how it all came together - and what a story it is.This is a really fun, relaxed one - with a great story. Can't wait to do more in person interviews round Liams new
144 - Fred Hope and Slingshots Project Drag
Fred joins us to discuss the Project Drag programme from Slingshot. It feels like this has been a long time coming now, but thats maybe as we've talked on and off about it a lot already. Liams got a setup and he's also been riding his home made board which is based off Kens shape as well.Nows the time to delve deeper into how its going for Slingshot though and why they chose to go this rou
143 - Omen Foils - Greg Falck
One of our most requested interviewee's for a while now, we finally managed to all organise a time to chat.We don't see much/any Omen here in the UK but we're very much aware of it's presence - and Greg has cemented himself as one of those foil brands thats worth listening to. His Youtube presence has been solid since the beginning and even Liam and I have learnt a lot by listening
142 - Dave Kalama
When Gabriella Bella messages you to say that Dave Kalama wants to come on the podcast, you don't quite know what to believe. April fool's?! Cruel joke set up by the X Foils podcast? A messenger from someone Freddie's offended. What neither of us expected was that he was a semi regular listener and was keen for a chinwag. It is fair to say that we both thoroughly enjored the oppurtunit
141 - Dane Wilson
Videographer extraordinaire, Dane WilsonWe met Dane for the first time last year when we were forced 'last minute' to MC his and Josh Ku's latest video escapades from Bali in Hood River.

140 - A Session Debrief and the F-One Titan2
We've been quiet - its been a slow start to the year for both of us. But here we are, back with a nice new episode for all to hear.Liams bought a house and is spending his days rubbing the walls down with sand paper, so he's been far too pre-occupied to talk foiling. Coupled with the constant rain and lack of motivation to get out, we haven't actually foiled until this sunday just gone
139 - Edo Tanas Joins Slingshot
The start of the year is always a fun one with regards shakes up in the industry. One such shake up was hearing that Edo was leaving F-one after a very successful couple years working with the brand. Where would he end up going?It might have come as a surprise to hear he was going to be working alongside the Slingshot guys - but I recon once you've listened to what the man himself has to say y
138 - Ken Adgate & Kyle Touhey - Who doesn't want to own a Ken Adgate board? It seems one of the big brands were asking the same question!
FOILING NNEEEEWWWWWWSSSSZ! This is big!In this episode Liam sits down with Ken Adgate and Kyle Touhey...funnily enough, they talk about boards. The boys have wanted to have this catch up for a long time to review Liam's most recent DIY board project which they provided the shape for, but it got pushed quickly to the top of the to do list when we found out that one of the big dog foil brands we

Finally - we hear you say!The lesser known Buurma brother - hiding away in Portugal running the factory and surfing every dayWieger and Jorrit run and operate Appletree themselves - but Wieger has been the face of the brand online for a while now. As soon as we met Jorrit in 2024 we knew we had to chuck him in the limelight a little too - he’s too funny to sit in the background.We recorded this in
134 - WangLordz Christmas Special - 3rd Edition
3rd times a charm they say! Back in Richies hot tub, post session together and pre party (which got a bit loose) This year we delved relatively deep into actual foiling stuff which might be a surprise and of some interest. There is an awful lot of nonsense too though...Been looking forward to doing this for a long time - it’s a great tradition we’ve started for ourselves and long may it continue.

121 - Wanglordz debrief of AWSI and the Kernow Foil Classic
The Wanglordz haven’t sat down together since Christmas can you believe!

120 - Paul Cooper
Please welcome, THE foil assist athlete - Paul Cooper.

We're back for our second time in Hood River, Oregon for the AWSI event here. 2 mental days so far and lots to discuss.The hype level here is off the charts.

You can't have missed the impact the Voyager Foiling crew have had on the downwind scene over the past few years and we were really looking forward to sitting
95 - Ben Jamieson & Caitlyn Francis
Prior to meeting this pair at AWSI this year, we knew little to nothing about the two of them, and yet they're some of the most hard-working and influential people in the foiling game right now.

94 - Christmas Wanglords Episode
Here we are again - back round to our now traditional Wanglordz Christmas Episode in the Hot Tub.
Usuaully we'd prepare you not to expect too much tech talk while we're sinking brewskies and re-living the year - but this ones a doozie.
Over three hours we sat in the tub, and we managed to only discuss 2 of a possible 10 christmassy items we had jotted down to bring up. It'd been a while since we a
93 - Ryan Arzy - LA Foiler
Old mate Ryan came for a chat this week. We didn't get time to record anything in America so he joined us online to discuss how he's gotten to where he is now.

Ryan recently came back from Hawaii after
92 - Kāohi Leashes - Roy & mama Karen (foil_fan)
An excellent episode with one of our favourite pairs in the foiling game. Passionate, positive, and inspiring individuals who have turned a niche product segment and brand into a household name within the foiling industries. They've managed to get Freddie excited about leashes!
We had the pleasure of hanging out with Karen and Roy on the beach in San Diego (fuelled by her home baked goodies) and
91 - Franks Foilboards
Frank’s boards have had people murmuring and whatsapping naughty photos back and forth for a while now. We were lucky enough to see them in the flesh in Hood River…our man Luke wouldn't shut up about getting hold of one. Liam managed to have a good chat with him in the states on the AXIS stand at AWSI.
Surprisingly, stood in front of a couple of Frank made boards with full red Axis livery and log

There, he bumped into Dylan and instantly decided they would be friends. As someone else who was there not only to try the new products but to also hunt for the best conditions possible to try said products. No po
85 - Johnny Heineken & Kenny Lad
Johnny might not need any introduction to anyone that has been interested in windsports for a while, but they might need a hand picking him out of a crowd as he masks himself and lurks in the shadows. Ken Adgate introduced us to this hooded fella, hood elastic synched tight to cover as much of his face as possible, and also wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.... it was only the one and only Joh
84 - Fred Hope and Slingshot
A chap we'd been hoping to pin down for a while - we were lucky enough to do so in Slingshot's offices in Hood River. We escaped the heat of the day mooching round an air cooled office to end up sitting on a balcony in the shade, overlooking the entire event going on below us.
Fred is one of those foilers who you can spot a mile off. His kitefoil riding changed the game and it is very dif

Competing in windsurfing in the 80’s through to pioneering hobby parachute downwinding now, she’s bee
82 - CODE FOILS - Ben & Marcus Tardrew
If you’re expecting a techy debrief into the products the boys at Code have been churning out, this isn’t the podcast for you. The brothers had been on the stand chatting tech all day and were knackered - if you’re after tech, check other peoples videos from the stands on the Youtube.
We put beers in their hands and chatted about everything else instead. What a great story these two have - spend
81 - Ken Adgate and Luke Atkinson
One of the cool things about this trip we're finding is being able to stick microphones in interesting peoples faces anytime we're all sat around hanging out, and (hopefully) it not being weird.
Big Aussie Luke has been hanging out for us since the AWSI event finished, and we've had a couple mornings sat around in Kenny's garage shooting the shit. As always thats when the best stu
80 - Mr FOILDRIVE - Paul Martin
An interview that's been in the works for a long time - the FoilDrive gang have been really supportive of what we do for a good while now (god knows why), so its been awesome to catch up with the team out here in AmeTrica.
This is exactly how we wanted interviews to take place at the event site - Mr FoilDrive himself, Paul Martin came wandering over to get some space from talking about seriou
79 - AWSI First Impressions
There's been so much going on in such a short space of time here, its difficult to keep up with everything and we want our listeners to come along for the ride as much as possible. Its difficult to know how and when to release interviews and videos to you all in an orderly fashion!
Before we went into the actual event yesterday for the first live day, we sat in the car park and dissected som
78 - 1st Day at the Hatchery - Hood River - USA!
In Hood River OFFICIAL now - at the Hatchery! We sit and process the first hours in America as we overlook the spot and chat nonsense with Wieger from Appletree.

We're back, and we're off to America tomorrow!
All thanks to our listeners for supporting us on the BuymeaCoffee page - you've made this entire thing possible and we really appreciate it.

75 - Mark Shinn
Fuelled by; post-session stoke, pizza, and beer we enjoy a thorough breakdown of Mark Shinn's history whilst deviating away from the chronological timeline regularly along the way. It is a long podcast but every minute is worth listening to. There is plenty of legitimate discussion about equipment, manufacturing, the industry as a whole as well as downwinding/foiling technique and gear tips as
