In 2020, Josua Wechsler stand up paddled from Switzerland to the Netherlands, a journey that took 27 days and covered more than 950km. Beau sat down with Josua to speak about his adventure, the motivations behind it and to gain some insight into SUP touring.  This interview was published on SUPboarder several months ago, but we wanted to make sure Josua's inspirational journey reached as many people as possible, so we are adding it to the podcast too!

"Years ago I had the dream to paddle on a SUP from Switzerland to the Netherlands. Always when I was close to realize this idea, something came in between. Corona changed many plans, so it was time to pick up this old dream. In April 2020 I started building a wooden SUP in my workspace in the Netherlands. In the beginning of August 2020 my journey from Switzerland to the Netherlands could finally start." JOSUA WECHSLER

When designing any product, a designer is challenged with design trade offs... a feature that gives good performance in one area often compromises the performance in another area. As wing designs evolve, we are starting to understand and learn more about what works best for different disciplines and different winging abilities. The most important thing, is you buy the right wing for you, allowing you to progress quickly, with the smallest compromise possible.  

Reuben and Will sit down and chat about all aspects of wing designs and their trade offs. Will has really been absorbing wing information over the last few years, from our own wing reviews and head-to-head testing. And also by listening to wing designers themselves talking about their design processes and reasons they have been putting certain design features on their wings.  

By the end of this pod we hope you understand the six design trade offs you're going to have to consider to find your perfect wing.   Don't forget you can watch this POD on our YouTube channel and benefit from lots of lovely images of Wings!
