Titouan Galea needs no introduction, he's the current world champion wing foiler. He talks to me from his current home in Montpelier, France all about wing foiling, advanced technique tips, including back flips and 360 spins, equipment, and life.  Enjoy the show on YouTube or as audio only podcast, just search for the "Blue Planet Show" on your podcast app to listen to it on the go.

Damien Leroy and Gwen Le Tutour have been on a roll, posting two great instructional videos per week and helping lots of people getting started in the sport. They are humble but are clearly exceptional humans and motivated by a desire to help people.

Alex Aguera started GoFoil and plays such an important role in the development of the sport. He basically invented the foil that allowed Kai Lenny to do downwinders on a big long board and basically kick-started this whole sport of foiling in the surf and now with wings.  We talk about the new wing foil boards and wings that GoFoil is coming out with.

Excellent interview. I watched it from beginning to end. Really enjoyed hearing about the early days of windsurfing right up to now with the early days of wing foiling.

Robert
I just thought I’d say thanks for the great show. I think we are super lucky to have you, James Casey and the progression project putting out so much great foiling content! Really appreciated! Cheers HB

Welcome to Season 2 of the Blue Planet Show.  It's been a while but I'm planning to put out more great interviews this summer.  Starting off with a group of 5 of us talking all about wing foiling with tips for all levels of wingers.
We talk about wing handling in onshore waves, jumping off the lip and landing back in the wave, back loops, getting up on foil, equipment tips, and tips for beginners and those getting started.

In today's interview, I speak with Adrian Roper, the man behind AXIS foils. We get into some tips for beginners, talk about his background and how he got into watersports at a young age, and then we talk in detail about foil design, how to set up the foil properly, how different aspects of the foil setup affect how the foil performs, new designs he is working on, the mast, importance of stiffness, the fuselage, the angles of the foil. So many cool technical things. I learned a lot from this show. I hope you do as well.
This new Axis brochure has the shim guide Adrian mentions on pages 41,42: http://www.axisfoils.com/current-brochure
