98 - Gabriella Bella
We hope you enjoy this episode with humble waterwoman
extraordinaire Gabriella Bella.
We get the low down on Gabriella's watersports history and she does her best to dial in Freddie's shimming game.
Listen to this episode and rate the podcast 5 stars or we'll all get personally offended. Peace out.

97 - Jon Mann - The flying Dutchman
We sit down with Mario's twin brother Luigi to see what has been going down on the continent. This episode was recorded a couple of months ago, just after the Crozon foil event.
We talk about:
- The learning process for all disciplines
- The difference styles of events as the scene develops
- How many stroopwafels are required to complete a downwind run the length of the Netherlands
and much more...
As always, we hope you enjoy this one.
Peace out,
The world's best foiling podcast.

96 - Simeon Ke-Paloma - Voyager Foiling
We very briefly met Simeon in Hood River, but as he was just finishing up his Voyager Clinic with paying clients we didn't all have the time to sit down together over a Modelo.
Thankfully through the power of the internet we've managed it!
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 down with the man behind the hats! We chat through all things Voyager as well as Simo's thoughts on the surf culture and how it impacts the newer downwind scene.
Fingers crossed we get to share a beer with the man himself along with the rest of the Voyager crew at some point in the future.

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. Within minutes of meeting and chatting to Caitlyn over a margarita at Hood River's no.1 mexican 'Taqueria', Liam had decided she needed to be in front of the mic, and having the couple sit down together was a bonus.
A lot was covered in this conversation, and I'd be surprised if anyone didn't feel inspired both on and off the water having listened to it.
FYI: whilst it isn't essential to listen to episode 80 with Paul Martin prior to this one, it is referenced, and you're bound to enjoy both, so if you haven't already, consider listening to that first.
Catch you all in the new year - Happy 2024/2025!
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.
