The Generic Foiling Podcast

With the all New Spitfire range from AXIS dropping worldwide, we managed to persuade Adrian Roper to join us on the podcast! Very happy about this one, Liam and I had a great time recording it and it was awesome to finally get to ask Adrian some questions we'd be considering for a long while.

For me (Freddie), Adrian was the first person I wanted as a guest when Liam and i started talking about doing some podcasting - a super interesting bloke with a great background in windsurfing, kitesurfing and now foiling.

We hope you enjoy this one, its become one of my own favourites. We discuss foiling in depth, along with a fair bit of engineery chat between Liam and Adrian while i saw quietly in the corner....

This is Part 2!

We had a bloody great time chatting to Rob this week, so much so we spent 2.5hours chatting. He actually admitted at the end that he forgot we were recording! Because of this, we've split it into 2 chats. If you like technical chat, you'll like this episode. If you like industry chat, you'll like this episode. If you like Rob, you'll like this episode. If you like high tech new material chat, you'll like this episode. And, if you like knob jokes, you'll like this episode!

Episode 33 see's us trying something different again - we're doing live interviews now. But don't worry, we're just as bad at these as we are doing regular 'studio' recordings. Shaky microphones, loud noises and interuptions everywhere - those of you after prime audio will be spitting feathers!

However, it only seemed right to get some wisdom from the Industry veterans on the beach in Littlehampton this weekend just gone, and try show you the listeners some insight into the inner workings of some of the brands we know and love.

Today's episode Liam and I had a catch up on the goings on of the event we were at - IKSURF and Tonic Mag's demo weekend at Littlehampton on the south coast of the UK. We chat with Liam Dredge who is part of the GWA and GKA global events commentary team - he gives us a run through of life on the event calendar and what we can expect from them coming up. Good pal and UK Cabrinha rider Jack gives us a run down of his recent goings on and Tris from the OTC gives us some insight into the hot products coming out of Armstrong at the moment

We hope you enjoy the spontaneity and spur of the moment questioning, because i've got another entire episode with some of the other faces and names from the weekends - working with brands you all know and love. Keep an eye out for that one very soon too!

Today Liam and Freddie catch up together to discuss a few new topics as well as dissecting recent sessions -

We'll both be down at Littlehampton on the south coast next weekend (9/10/11th June) for the IKSURF and TONIC mag demo weekend. Freddie will be there with everything from Ozone and Axis on show (and we're hoping the new Ozone Flux wing will arrive just in time for it!), and Liam will be mooching around like all good journalists do. Come and say hey to both of us - its always good to meet likeminded wangers!

for now we hope the waves come back soon! follow us on instagram for more up to date conversations and ping us a message on there or via email with any questions!

Hot off the back of some insane swells that got 'wedding cake island' break off the coast of Sydney firing, Jeremy joins us for a catch up to relive the days and discuss the future of big wave foiling, and the gear needed to push things forward. Check out his socials if you haven't already to see some pics and look out for more footage coming soon. ⁠@oceanpixels⁠

See you next week

Welcome to Chris Burke onto the podcast - a good friend of ours and top shredder who runs a successful kite and wing school in Poole while now taking on a new shop Venture in Newquay.

I've known Chris for many years and it was high time we got his intel and knowledge onto the podcast. He's got a great grasp on the industry as a whole while also knowing how to style out his riding on the water. Winging and foiling have transformed his water time as it has the rest of us - and here he gives us his run down on his history and what's kept him frothing on foiling.

If you're around the south west, go give Chris a shout in the shop and see his awesome foil wall. Tell your mates about the podcast if you haven't already, and follow us on the socials!
