The Generic Foiling Podcast

Someone we've been interested in chatting to for a while. Lots of talk around F4 currently, mainly from the Hawaii guys - so about time to hear something about them from the man himself.
Chris joins us to discuss the brand along with this seasons downwind races and his successes there. Granted, we were really intrigued by his day to day professional job as well once he told us about that.
We're hoping to ride some of the F4 kit on our 3rd trip out to Hood River in a couple weeks and hopefully we can share a beer with Chris in person then. For now, enjoy the episode

A threepeat for Edo this year at the M20 and he had a clean sheet throughout the Hawaiian race season this year. He's cementing himself as a real life force to be reconed with in the foiling world - he just needs to get his visa sorted so he can show it on the world stage now!
We sit down and talk to the man himself to discuss what sounded like a savage race this year with conditions, as well as the ongoing interesting discussion about his gear, his sponsors and the foil choice he and fellow Slingshot team rider, Trent made going into this years season.
Safe to say we're also very interested to hear more from the F4 foils perspective....!

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 - always nice to see whats going on with that niche!

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 house - just hope he doesn't bin the sofa set we were on, as they're so good for this!

Of course we had a couple technical glitches..... apologies!

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 route. Fred discusses how setting up their discord forum has enabled him to talk directly to the consumer and figure out which direction to take things.
We know we've not been around for a while - its been peaceful! We've a few episodes coming up though, so while we might not be weekly again just yet - theres more to look forward to!
