Todd has so many stories to tell - but we tried to talk about foiling as much as possible.
But two nuggets: He was the first du stay up in the air (3 meters) for 1 Minute in a human powered flying device, he got the world record in speed on a bicycle (in the flat).
He is so focused on human powered devices and brought it to the water. In this episode, he talked about the invention of Freefoiling and the Beta Foil.
