He is one of those individuals that people instinctively know to pay attention to and listen to.As well as hearing about the all-new FUSION system (and some complimentary product releases that are still to be released!), you'll get to know the real Paul Martin (Mr Egg) even better. Who'd have guessed that his whole approach to learning was moulded by hindered vision as a child!?Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!Until next time...

128 - Adrian Roper - AXIS Foils
Welcome back Adrian Roper of AXIS Foils - the man who still holds the mantle for the most listened to podcast we've ever done - from 2 years ago!We were already keen to chat to Adrian about the mountain of new innovations that seem to be hitting the market soon from AXIS - but before we had a chance to ask, he cornered us in the carpark of the Hatch to ask us exactly the same.It was hard to miss the hype around the brand at the AWSI show this year - there was a hive of activity around the stand the whole time we were there, and its also been very apparent from the downwind race season this year that AXIS had some pretty impressive kit on the way.So, we let Adrian bring over all these new bits to show us through. Hopefully at some point we'll put some video up from it, because as you'll hear - he's man handling kit the entire episode. Frank even joins us at the end to discuss their relationship for a few minutes as well.Podcast aside - we've been busy squirelling away on a couple bits. You may have noticed our t-shirt selling chitter chatter on the stories. Check out https://genericfoilingpod.com/shop for access to our t-shirts. Liams also been working to make the website work a bit smoother (like a real life professional website) and you'll also notice theres a newsletter sign up form on there...... we're doing it! The first newsletter was sent out this Saturday just gone and we'll aim to do one every second saturday morning. I'll write one then liam will write one and hopefully you'll get a bit of a snippet of anything and everything else we don't get around to discussing in our episodes.if you like what we're doing, theres also a link to the Buy me a Coffee account on the website - where you can chip in and buy us some beers. All profits go towards those beers as well as funding our next trip and media ideas!
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!
