108 - Ramblings between the lads
A busy couple weeks on the water and a lot of findings from our own sessions - we set some time aside in order to talk about a couple fun bits that've been occuring in the foiling world but actually ended up dissecting our own findings - which ended up being a lot of fun. Downwind paddling and parawinging mainly on the cards here, with some winging thrown in the mix to keep it Generic. Liam has a revelation, and Freddie's struggling along with everything as always....We hope you enjoy these episodes - it's exhausting lining up interviews, and we do enjoy getting back to basics and just talking about ourselves instead!

107 - North Foils - Mike Raper V2
Mikes back - after a pretty horrendous time in his life - but as positive and upbeat as ever!We had a great chat with Mike back towards the start of our mighty podcasting careers and we've kept in touch. He had a terrible health scare in 2024 and we're very glad to hear of his recovery and journey back to tip top shape.We recorded before Christmas, so its great to see some of what we discussed re. the parawing come to life since then. Fingers crossed Mike makes it to AWSI this year so we can finally share a beer!
All manner of foiling chat: Liam and Freddie dissect their own riding as they navigate all of the new foil based disciplines and hope to share some technical knowledge from their years in the watersports industry - while also chatting a lot of shit together and hoping to bring some interesting characters to the limelight.
“Quality foil related chit chat with some useful technical information every now and again” - The Best review we could ever hope for!
