    Pump Foiling Theory explained by @foilien

    Look - we all know - Pump foiling is difficult. We all have our tipps, tricks and ideas on how to pump better, longer or more efficiently. Lucien wasn't happy with the chatter on the docks and wanted to get to the bottom of it. He introduced the Pumpfoil Physics Simulator and the Dynamic Pumpfoil and Wave Riding Simulator. In this episode, we get to know Lucien (@foilien on Instagram), we learn about the simulators, and you might get one or the other idea how to improve your pump foiling.

    Parawing with a different Depower

    When I released the video reviewing the Sroka Fynix, I was a bit nervous. After a long time of testing parawings that kept getting better and better, the Fynix had its flaws. Of course Bruno wasn't super happy but he was man enough to talk about it for everyone to listen. In this epsiode, we talk about him as an athlete, how he built his company, and of course about their parawing. Thanks to Jens of the Foilsessions App for supporting the show.

    Mr. President hosted the Freefoil Summit

    I met Roman as host of the Freefoil Summit in Austria. It is incredible, how much voluntary and unpaid work he puts in his passion. In the episode, we talked about how and why a Pumpfoil club is needed and how they managed to finance a 30k dockstart boat. We also relived the Freefoil Summit that took place a couple of weeks ago.
