132- Stacy Peralta
Stacy Peralta (@stacyperalta) is a pioneer in skateboarding but defines himself as a surfer... one who is now foil brained! Stacy recounts his journey from professional athlete, to team manager, how he spotted and nurtured talent like Tony Hawk, why he moved on from stakeboarding into film making, his anti-mentors, and maybe the best definition of flow states I've yet heard. This episode is a personal favorite, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

131 - Armie Armstrong
Armie Armstrong is the founder of Armstrong Foils and has been at the forefront of foil design and innovation from the early days. This is a wide ranging conversation, from the design process changes that lead to the new HA line, to recounting the struggles of getting their first foils to market. Enjoy

129 - Greg Falck
Greg is a waterman, engineer and co-founder of Omen Foils. He spent 9 years in the Canadian Military including 4 years in the Special Forces, eventually moving to the coast to pursue his dream of advancing kitesurfing through science and engineering. Greg started working with Ocean Rodeo as the lead on the project which has become known as Aluula Composites.
Greg comes on the show to discuss his military background and what he's brought into the foil world, his approach to design and love of riding waves and wind. -
128 - Josh Ku
Josh Ku comes on to talk about some big changes in his foiling life and his recent dive into foildrive and hybrid foiling. Josh is legend and I couldn't be more stoked for him! No intro on this podcast, but it was recorded a few weeks ago so I hadn't ridden the drive yet when we recorded.

127 - Mike Pedigo
Pedigo and Erik dive into the last 6 months of foiling... Florida's bad winter, surf pro's entry to the game, the Midlength revolution and scary moments in an airplane.
Customer Reviews
Worth your time.
Erik is the go to for the Foil community for information on all things foiling. If you’re missing it you’re missing out.
New to foiling
Being new to foiling I have found this to be an invaluable source of information on all things foil.
I listen to it making my kids school lunches at 4 am before work and always take something from the guests input to apply to my foiling. The foil community we have here in Noosa where I live are a fantastic group of positive, inclusive and collaborative Frothers and my only regret is that I didn’t discover foiling sooner.
We all listen to this podcast and discuss it in the water. It’s all positive vibes only and I look forward to the next guest segment.
Keep up the great work Eric!
A wealth of knowledge
Heaps of useful info relating to gear and technique. The best source of information I’ve found relating to prone foiling. It gets into the technical side which I love and it follows his progress through the sport. If your starting out go straight to episode 1, the later episodes will only rattle you.
