Rob Pirie in an OG foiler, started gaffer taping foils on SUP boards 4 years ago. Favorite quote from the episode is to be the best foiler in the world you have to ride the best gear. He tests everything and reports on Seabreeze forums where he's helping everyone get better and make good decisions. We dive into tons of gear talk, progression and other stuff only foilers would appreciate. But if you're foil brained, you're gonna love this one.

The Foilwizard himself is on the podcast. We talk style, technique, pumping, straps, airs, and why you should get back on your shortboard. Plus tons of your questions. Enjoy!

Foiling Series - Nick Leason (@LiftFoils) by Erik Antonson

Pedigo returns. We talk board construction, new tails, Go Foil NL series, and dedicate a solid chunk of the show to some of my most asked insta questions... What board should I start on? What foil should I buy? How should I start foiling? And so much more...

Jack Ho talks Instagram influence on the sport, Lift 170, Takuma 1300, down winding, strapped game, pumping...

In the 4th return of Kane we talk his new NP line of foils, custom tails he's building, what he's learned since his last episode, and lots of user questions. The Professor does not disappoint. Gonna listen a couple times myself to process it all....

Foiling is insane and Eric's passion showcases our love of the sport.
