James grew up near Narrabeen beach and started surfing and kite surfing at a young age. His downwinding journey began over in Hawaii when a twisted ankle forced him off his surfboard onto a SUP. Since then, James has made it onto the World Tour for SUP surfing and SUP racing, as well as winning the Molokai 2 Oahu Paddle Board World Championship in 2019. He has launched himself into the sport of Foiling, setting the World Record for longest downwind foil at a whopping 212km, taking almost 12 hours.

James now runs the Coach Casey Club, where he continually commits to teaching the skills required for all disciplines of foil and SUP. During the podcast he talks through the many skills you need to begin your downwind foil journey.

Thanks for joining us James, and we hope you enjoy this episode of The Foil Project.
