The Generic Foiling Podcast

56 - Ellie Aldridge - The UK's Olympic Hopeful


Listen Later

Ellie is a kite racer. A very good kite racer. She's qualified for the Olympics in July 2024 to represent the UK - which means she takes foiling far more seriously than Liam and Freddie do.


This week she gives us a run down of the entire Olympic process - which despite an interest in the Kitefoil racing we were pretty unaware of. She runs us through her background from 49erFX sailing to learning to kitefoil in a rapidly evolving world.


Ellie's also been ramping up her wing foil and tow in skills while having down time on her foiling camps in Mexico and Fuerte (lucky lass) and gives us a run through of her...... as well as her plans post Olympics 2024.


If you feel like showing us any support for the podcast, you can do that by following us on the socials @genericfoilingpodcast to keep upto date, or financially on https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast. We can assure you this is very much appreciated and not wasted on the likes of silly things like beers (despite us repeatedly mentioning this). We've still got solid plans to put this money towards a trip to the AWSI event later in 2024 - where we will hopefully be able to put together a major list of potential interviews. Thats the plan anyway!
