Foiling helped Jason to sustain his business: Burton Outdoor Adventures and after a chat with people in the foiling industry he decided to organize a foiling festival: @AtlantaFoilFest

In this chat Jason tells his story into watersports and what it takes to organize such an event. He also talks about why it is worth taking a week of vacation and come to Atlanta for the event.
