In this episode, we chat with Lukas Lam, a rising wing foiling star from Austria, whose meteoric rise with Duotone has taken him to the GWA Wingfoil World Tour. From learning to wing foil to impress his girlfriend to landing backflips in months, Lukas shares his journey of passion and perseverance alongside his pro wing foiler partner. Hear about his freestyle tricks, coaching kids in Greece, and chasing big air dreams.

  • Unlikely Start: How a former ice hockey player from Hong Kong dove into wing foiling in 2022 via his girlfriend’s windsurfing family.
  • Fast Progress: Mastering tricks like frontside 360s and backflips with a gymnastics edge and relentless drive.
  • Duotone Deal: Landing a sponsorship through a chance meeting with a kitesurfer in Austria.
  • World Tour Path: Qualifying for Leucate, France, with video submissions for the GWA tour.
  • Malta Training: Thriving on a rocky island with 20-knot winds and gnarly waves, training with his girlfriend.
  • Coaching Kids: Teaching at the Duotone Pro Center and Board Academy’s 10-day camps in Limnos, Greece.
  • Big Air Goals: Aiming for 14-15 meter jumps in the Canary Islands’ Big Air event, with safe landing tips.
