The Frequent Flyers Club Podcast

We are kicking off the first episode of The Foil East Podcast hosted by the FFC. This will be an ongoing series hosted on our platform in collaboration with Foil East.

For FFC listeners: the podcast won't die, we've just been busy. rather than have two outlets with similar goals we've found it beneficial to collaborate and try our best to create new and fun content. We will occasionally drop an FFC episode in the mix as well!

Regardless, we are happy to get back on with the banter.

We appreciate the support as we do this for the community and because we think it is fun.

A great chat with Todd Reichert and Devon Manz about Beta foils and Freefoiling.

Check out Beta and the awesome training manual Todd wrote. This manual really helped me progress and learn to use the Beta.

Today on the podcast we have Jeremy Anderson

He’s spacecoastfoiler on IG

He’s a Brevard County, Florida local, father, Unifoil Ambassador, and a total frother.

Jeremy can be seen out in the line up or on the beach getting a real-time surf report on any given day

Aside from Uni, Jeremy is a great ambassador for foiling. We talk about the importance of surf etiquette, the scene in Florida, and share some stories about learning to foil

Without further adieux, here’s Jeremy!

Phil Muller is a passionate foiler and lifelong waterman who grew up windsurfing before finding his way to the world of foils. Known for his dedication to high-performance sailing and athlete development, Phil is currently the Youth Performance Manager at US Sailing, where he helps shape the future of the sport for the next generation. He’s coached the USA Youth Sailing World Championship teams and played a key role in the New York Yacht Club’s American Magic Youth and Women’s America’s Cup programs. Beyond sailing, Phil’s love for foiling fuels his constant pursuit of progression and community building within the sport

Today on the Frequent Flyers Club we have Francesco Maffei, also known as Frank Foilboards. A man that needs little introduction as he is currently behind one of the hottest Downwind shapes on the market. He’s a multi-talented Foiler with an interesting background. We talked about foiling, building boards, his partnership with Axis, and plenty of other fun stuff. This conversation was a blast and we could have had Frank on for another 2 hours.

Today we have Chris Museler on the FFC.

Chris is a heavy hitter from the sailing world. He has done everything from pro sailing to covering the Americas Cup for the New York Times. He started his foiling journey in the moth and currently is working to organize foiling week events around the world. Including him and his teaming putting in the legwork for the event in Pensacola a couple weeks ago.

Chris brings a unique perspective as a lifelong competitor and learner. We talk everything from the learning process to how to get more women involved in foiling.

Thanks for hanging Chris, let’s keep in touch!

What's up, everyone!

Today we have Kyle Maligro on the podcast.

Kyle is a shredder from Hawaii who has a super interesting past.

It was awesome learning about Kyle and his journey as a waterman.

From bodyboarding, building boards, to prone foiling The Gorge, Kyle brought an awesome energy to the podcast.

Thanks, Kyle!

Kyle also made our logo for us and we are stoked on it!

Jermy runs the YouTube channel Oceanbound, where he documents his sessions winging, sup foiling, and more recently downwinding and para winging.

We chatted about his use of video to push his progression, the struggles of learning to downwind and where he sees para wings in his quiver

Overall a fun chat with a stoked individual!

Our first guest is Jersey's favorite Downwinder, Ed Junquet.

We can't say enough nice things about Ed. A frother at the forefront of the East Coast Downwind scene sending it on any given day.

We chatted about Ed, his bay run, foiling lessons, his experience at the Hawaiian Races, and a bunch of other stuff!

Thanks again, Ed. We hope to have you on again!

Hello Everyone,

Its your hosts for the FFC podcast, Nic and Chris!

We wanted to take some time in the first episode to introduce ourselves to you all, and give a little insight regarding the podcast.

TLDR: If you want to listen to us talk about ourselves, here you go. Episodes from here on out will almost always involve guests.

At the end of the day we want to thank you for listening while we grow as hosts and try to deliver some entertaining foiling content.
