The Generic Foiling Podcast

Finally - we hear you say!

The lesser known Buurma brother - hiding away in Portugal running the factory and surfing every day

Wieger and Jorrit run and operate Appletree themselves - but Wieger has been the face of the brand online for a while now. As soon as we met Jorrit in 2024 we knew we had to chuck him in the limelight a little too - he’s too funny to sit in the background.

We recorded this in his office, after hours in the Appletree factory while on a lads trip to Portugal with some friends. We discuss their new Radix mast connection concept system, upcoming hollow board projects and delve into the new finishing products they’re now using.

It’s techy but enjoyable - a pleasure to listen back to!

3rd times a charm they say! Back in Richies hot tub, post session together and pre party (which got a bit loose) This year we delved relatively deep into actual foiling stuff which might be a surprise and of some interest. There is an awful lot of nonsense too though...

Been looking forward to doing this for a long time - it’s a great tradition we’ve started for ourselves and long may it continue. It’s been a busy year for all and it’s been a while since the four of us sat down at all - perhaps we need to prioritise doing this more often, even without the mics!

Enjoy the ridiculousness of this latest episode of nonsense. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and we’ll see you in the New Year!

Something a little bit different for you today. Daniel Riley is a full time Youtuber having amassed nearly a million subscribers at the time of recording. His Youtube channel follows his 'builds' and interests, which include almost anything that flies in air or water.

In recent years he has done more and more content around hydrofoiling—dockstarting, building his own TowBoogie (Toby the Tow Boat), making one of the world's largest autopilot efoils with a paddleboard and lawnchair. He is a fascinating character with knowledge and stories to share.

If you're not already, consider subscribing to Daniel's channel RCTESTFLIGHT and following him on his socials. I suspect you'll be glad you did.

Liam and Freddie have interviews in the bank but pushed back the releases because they wanted a chat. It's a bloody good job they did, as they manifested a new Woo World Record! Have a listen and see what we mean. This was recorded on Thur 04/12/2025 2 days before Hugo Wigglesworth recorded a 40m jump on the WOO!!!

Australia's best prone foiler of 2025, France's best prone foiler of 2025, UK's second best prone foiler of 2025.

He's held a bit of the limelight this Autumn with this trip to see us in the UK and then a domination at the French Surf foil events - its about time we sat down and chatted properly.

A discussion into surf foiling, kit, riding style, judging and why he keeps ballsing up his downwind race prep - please welcome Duke Cactuson.

After spending a week traipsing around Hood River with Luke for a week in 2024 we were very happy to hear he was being shipped over to the UK into our jurisdiction for the Kernow Foil Classic event this year! A very relaxed and very talented chap, this episode reflects exactly that - we hope you enjoy!

GFP wise - We've got a Newsletter going if you hadn't already heard..... check out our website to sign up - www.genericfoilingpod.com. We'll be sending blog style posts out every two weeks with funny tit bits we've cut out of episodes, things we've enjoyed in the world of foiling that week as well as any thoughts and foiling news that we deem worthy - get signed up, it'll be fun i promise!

One of the most popular episodes from last year, and bound to be one of the most popular episodes this year, please welcome Paul Martin, Co-Founder of Foil Drive.

We love chatting to Paul because he combines an open-book personality with incredibly unique life experiences, which we dig even deeper into in this episode. He is one of those individuals that people instinctively know to pay attention to and listen to.

As well as hearing about the all-new FUSION system (and some complimentary product releases that are still to be released!), you'll get to know the real Paul Martin (Mr Egg) even better. Who'd have guessed that his whole approach to learning was moulded by hindered vision as a child!?

Enjoy the episode and let us know what you think!

Until next time...

This is as chilled as it gets - sitting down in the carpark of the Hatchery with Mike, eating home made smoked salmon and drinking tea.

Great to finally meet Mike in person - he's been a great guy to chat to and bounce ideas off since we first talked with him online a couple of years ago. A great, honest and inpdeth chat about all things North too!

As far as us - check out the website, sign up to the newest newsletter on the block, buy a T-Shirt, support us on Buymeacoffee and for the love of god - Rate us 5 stars on Spotify! Is that too much to ask? Probably.....

Welcome back Adrian Roper of AXIS Foils - the man who still holds the mantle for the most listened to podcast we've ever done - from 2 years ago!

We were already keen to chat to Adrian about the mountain of new innovations that seem to be hitting the market soon from AXIS - but before we had a chance to ask, he cornered us in the carpark of the Hatch to ask us exactly the same.

It was hard to miss the hype around the brand at the AWSI show this year - there was a hive of activity around the stand the whole time we were there, and its also been very apparent from the downwind race season this year that AXIS had some pretty impressive kit on the way.

So, we let Adrian bring over all these new bits to show us through. Hopefully at some point we'll put some video up from it, because as you'll hear - he's man handling kit the entire episode. Frank even joins us at the end to discuss their relationship for a few minutes as well.

Podcast aside - we've been busy squirelling away on a couple bits. You may have noticed our t-shirt selling chitter chatter on the stories. Check out https://genericfoilingpod.com/shop for access to our t-shirts.

Liams also been working to make the website work a bit smoother (like a real life professional website) and you'll also notice theres a newsletter sign up form on there...... we're doing it! The first newsletter was sent out this Saturday just gone and we'll aim to do one every second saturday morning. I'll write one then liam will write one and hopefully you'll get a bit of a snippet of anything and everything else we don't get around to discussing in our episodes.

if you like what we're doing, theres also a link to the Buy me a Coffee account on the website - where you can chip in and buy us some beers. All profits go towards those beers as well as funding our next trip and media ideas!

Where did Slingshot come from and where is Slingshot going?? A great chat with Jeff Logosz, CEO of the brand - sat in the Offices in Hood River during our trip to the states.

Liam and I loved this one - coming from a kite background we loved hearing about the days where it all began.

We’ve also managed to nab some foils off Sam Light in the UK since we got home and Liams been spending a good bit of time on the One-Lock system. He’s a big fan, even in the first few sessions - gonna be an interesting debrief in our next chat together no doubt

We’ve still got t-shirt stock in all sizes - check out genericfoilingpod.com/shop to put in your orders - or if you’d like to support what we’re doing differently, check out buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast
