    Surviving a shark attack - Andy McDonald | The Foil Project Podcast Ep.44

    You've probably already seen the video on the news of Andy's wing board being mauled by a great white shark, missing his feet by just inches and causing a violent spray of white water. It's a few months after the incident, and I was lucky enough to sit down with Andy and run through exactly what happened.

    The story of Frank Foilboards from Frank's shaping bay | Ep. 43

    Hugh had to get his paddle fixed on Maui, and stepping up to the task was none other than Frank Maffie. Step into Frank’s shaping bay and hang out with the man behind some of the fastest, most dialled-in foilboards on the planet. We’re talking resin fumes, fresh designs, race stories, and the little tweaks that make a big difference on the water.Thanks for helping with the interview, Jake! I hope you enjoy this episode!

    Gio De Le Rosa - Downwind Foiling Puerto Rico on 6ft Boards | Ep. 42

    It was the standard sunny summer day on the north shore of Maui. A constant 22-knot wind blows down the coast, creating ideal downwind conditions on the 15km Maliko harbour run. A crew of foilers are packing down their gear in the harbour carpark, comparing split times and discussing the best lines for speed. To Jake Dailey’s disgust, one brave foiler starts patting the local feral cat. Another ops for the sanitary choice, lying down under the foot tap, turning on the water for a makeshift shower. Someone quickly dances barefoot across the hot pavement to grab cars for the next shuttle, while others sit under swaying palm trees seeking shade. Suddenly, a murmur ripples through the crew of foilers. Head swivels towards the harbour, and T30 tools are lifted from half-unscrewed bolts. Even the local cat sits up straight to see what’s going on. In through the small bumps of harbour dances a peculiar sight. A 6’3” foiler navigates the bumps, carrying a paddle in his hand, pumping high on the mast and rapping a cutback. But the cause of the commotion isn’t his unique style, above average height, nor the ease he navigates the small bumps, but rather the unique board under his feet.“What on earth is that?” gasps Dave West. “No way he paddled that up!” exclaims Luke Atkinson. “Ahhh get away from me!” yells Jake as the feral cat slides past his leg. “That thing looks epic!” exclaims Hugh Mitchell. “Woahhhh” sighs John Mann as he uses the temporary distraction to check out Kane De Wild’s foil.The board in question appears to defy physics, short, stubby and off-white, it shares an uncanny resemblance to a bar of soap. So short that it looks like a prone board, it is unlike any other in the car park. Giovanni De Le Rosa continues casually down the boat ramp, blissfully unaware of the commotion he has just caused up in the car park. He picks up the tiny contraption, walks to the back of his van, pulls out an esky, and starts handing out soft drinks, coconut water and beers to the starstruck crew.“What are the dimensions of that board?” the crowd asked in unison, followed by the sound of ice-cold cans cracking open and contented sighs from the much-needed hydration. “6 foot by 17” and 90L”, replies Gio casually, “Oh, and I call it the Soap Bar”

    John Hearn AKA Hearndawg - Oahu's foiling backbone | Ep. 41

    Flying into Oahu was a surreal experience. I landed at 5:30 a.m. with a message from Oskar Johannson telling me to meet at Tongg's Beach (where this was filmed) at 8:30 a.m. Next thing I know, I am jumping in a car with John to do an HK run, then a second, then a third, and you wouldn't believe it, a fourth. By 5 pm, I had been living off of John's trail mix, bottled water and electrolytes for the past 10 hours, my Garmin told me I needed 96 hours of recovery, and I was fully stoked.For those who know John, this is a pretty standard day. Each evening he sends a message out on the Oahu foiling chat with the times to meet for a downwind send the next day. It is not uncommon that he lists: 630, 830, 1030, 1230, 330... 5 runs in a day! And although he may not foil all of them, he sure will be there, helping with car drops, handing out trail mix and waters and keeping foilers foiling. It was epic to meet John on Oahu and see everything that he does for the sport here. He met every single one of us visitors with open arms and made this trip to Hawaii just that much more special. Cheers HearnDawg!
