BOOTHCAST

This BOOTHCAST is with Mr VMG Blades Chris Ting and is brought to you by BOOTH Training.

Chris tells of how he growing up in Sydney and finding a passion in sailing and designing his own yacht. He also became a competitive windsurfer and found his love for design with Formula windsurfing fins. He began making fins for SUP when he got involved himself in SUP in 2013 after a few of his friends wanted more advanced fin designs. Since then VMG has become the best fin brand in the business and Chris tests all of his fins! Chris walks us through his design process, his different fins and tells us what fins work well in what conditions. We also talk about his other products and new design features! Thanks Chris for your time.
