On this episode of Foil The World Podcast, Simeon and I have an engaging conversation where he shares his journey from traditional Hawaiian paddling to becoming a prominent figure in the foiling community. He discusses the evolution of foiling technology, the importance of community, and the unique experiences that come with downwinding. Simeon also highlights the mission of Voyager Foiler, which aims to blend ancient navigation practices with modern foiling techniques, fostering a supportive environment for all levels of enthusiasts. The conversation touches on the significance of foil camps in building camaraderie and the excitement of exploring new locations for foiling adventures.

Sorry, my intro song got muffled. Not sure what's up with that lol!

In this episode of Foil The World Podcast, I have a great chat with guest Steve Anderson about his fraught with challenge journey in founding a wake boarding brand @followbrand that has now expanded into foiling with team riders like Brian Grubb, Alex Hayes, James Casey, Josh Ku, Jeremy Whilmotte & Oskar Johansson. I love Steve's passion for designing and building quality products for the foil life. I also am really impressed with the gear and have been wearing the apparel for about 2yrs now.

This episode of Foil The World Podcast features Shannon Stent aka Larry Foiler. Larry was my first IG foil buddy dating back to early 2018. After 7yrs of attempts, I finally stayed a week with Larry and is amazing family in West Oz and scored sick waves and a WILD downwind run. Larry is a foil ripper, S tier content creator, amazing photographer/cinematographer, long time Axis team rider, and founder of LF Supply - foil specific travel bags, merch and accessories. We reminisce about the early days and ancient gear. We talk about the Tow Boogie, our shifting focus in content creation, Larry's motivation behind LF Supply, downwinding a raw and treacherous coastline, longevity in the sport and more. We also tell the story of a WILD downwind run that I managed to survive! Follow Larry @larryfoiler @lfsupply and his amazing YouTube channel @larryfoiler. This is my favorite episode to date.
