    Case #49: Powered Up: Mr. Bennetts Brings the Flux*

    In Case 49, Walt and I sit down with Adam Bennetts from FliteLab to dive into the highly anticipated Flux foil range. Bennetts’ unique and powerful surf style really shines through in this lineup—and you can feel it the moment you step on the foil. We chat about his design input, the development journey, and what makes Flux foils stand out in terms of pitch stability, performance, and feel in the surf. There’s plenty of geek-out talk here: power wings, gear preferences, the unique conditions of the Gorge, and how extensive prototyping/testing shaped the final product. We also loved hanging with the FliteLab crew, and Bennetts is full froth all the time—his energy is contagious both in the water and in conversation. The chat drifts into the future of foil design, the role of assistive tech in foiling, and the responsibility we all share to keep surf lineups positive and welcoming. This one’s equal parts foil nerding, surf philosophy, and product insight—straight from the source. 🎙️ Sponsored by Kite Puerto Rico + the N1 Surf Shop.

  2. Case #48: The F4 Orca Story:Carbon Addicts Anonymous with Chris Radkowski

    Case #48: The F4 Orca Story:Carbon Addicts Anonymous with Chris Radkowski

    In Case 48, Walt and I catch up with Chris Radkowski, the designer behind F4 Foils. While Walt was in Maui, he picked up a setup from Guido and could not stop raving about the new Orca line for downwind—so of course, I had to try it too. Spoiler: they did not disappoint. What makes F4 stand out is that they’re not afraid to throw carbon at an idea. Constantly reviewing designs, experimenting with different stiffness layups, and fine-tuning wing concepts, they landed on something special with the Orca—exactly what we’ve been looking for in a downwind foil. And they’re not stopping there. Expect Orca surf foils soon, along with expanded 11mm mast sizes. The foil world is looking brighter with F4, and we’re genuinely excited to be working with them. 📲 Follow along: @xfoils🎙️ Sponsored by Kite Puerto Rico + the N1 Surf Shop in San Juan.

    Case #47 – Codependency Issues: Falling for Code Foils with Ben Tardrew

    The X-Foils Podcast: Case #47 – Codependency Issues: Falling for Code Foils with Ben Tardrew Walt (the unofficial cohost) and I sit down with Ben Tardrew—one of the brains behind Code Foils and a serious ripper on the water. Fresh off testing some of the new Code range, we kick back for a relaxed chat about how these designs have evolved and where they’re headed. We reminisce about how Code has shaped our foiling game over the last two years and look ahead at the highly anticipated Code X Series foils. Ben also shares what’s cooking behind the scenes—race foils, FoilDrive-integrated masts, and race masts that push performance even further. And true to Code’s reputation, they only release gear when it’s truly done and ready—no hype, no half measures. A chill, gear-nerd session with one of the best in the business. 🎙️ This episode is sponsored by Kite Puerto Rico and the N1 Surf Shop. Support us for free by subscribing and dropping a 5⭐ review.

  4. Case #46: Double the Podcasts, Double the Nonsense (AWSI Collab)

    Case #46: Double the Podcasts, Double the Nonsense (AWSI Collab)

    In Case 46, Liam and Freddy finally tricked us into joining them for a collab. Why? Because sometimes two podcasts are better than one… or at least twice as confusing. We sit down after AWSI to unpack the event, talk gear we drooled over, rides we may or may not have sent, and sprinkle in some top-tier foil nerding. Both of us have been talking to guests and putting out some (very little) content on the socials , so now you get the “director’s cut” chaos in one episode. Oh, and we even give you a sneak peak of the guests you can expect to hear coming up—so you can pretend you listen for the info, not just the banter. This was going to be filmed like always, but our producer ( DYLAN) totally messed that one up! so you just get the audio this time! Enjoy This episode is sponsored by Kite Puerto Rico!

    Case #45 – Weekend Madness & Foil Nerding

    In this episode, Walt, Arland, and I take a quick breather after a wild weekend of non-stop sessions—Monday was lit, and our brains are still fried from all the stoke. We chat about some of the new foils we tried, a little bit about the scene, and honestly… this podcast is pure bonus content. Nobody needs this, but here you go! Oh, and heads up—we’re heading to the event site to make and hand out food. Swing by and say hi! This is sponsored by ME, Kite Puerto Rico and the N1 Surf Shop. Small frothy shop!

    Case #44 - Pre AWSI. Foils, Boards & Maui Stories with Walt

    In Case 44, Walt and I finally get back on the mic after a few weeks without our regular froth calls—and let’s just say, he had a lot to say. He breaks down his trip to Maui, including the new foils he unexpectedly fell in love with and the Frank Foilboards he’s been testing. Meanwhile, I’ve been putting in three solid sessions on the FLITELab AMP board, and I’m fired up to bring it to the Gorge and really put it through its paces. We also chat about the upcoming AWSI, which is shaping up to be one of the most fun events yet with plenty of new gear to geek out on. 🎙️ This podcast is proudly sponsored by ME, Kite Puerto Rico and the N1 Surf Shop in beautiful San Juan, Puerto Rico.

    Case #43- Basement Stories, Parawing Theories & A Golf-Off Pending

    In Case 43, Roy and Mickey are back—two names well-known not just on the podcast, but in the foiling scene, period. Fresh off a two-week trip to the Gorge, they join me to talk about linking up with the crew at The Basement, scoring some classic Rufus runs, and sharing their stoke.This one’s packed with stories, plenty of laughs, and more than a little trash talk—strictly for your entertainment.For Mickey, it’s been a while—he hasn’t been on the podcast since the Parawing craze took over. As Puerto Rico’s first SUP downwind foiler, he’s got a unique perspective, forged from suffering through the early days of heavy gear and no road map. I really wanted to hear how he sees things now that Parawing is part of the mix.Side note: we’re all looking forward to the legendary Roy vs. Ken “Golf-Off” that’s bound to go down.

    Case #42 The BRM Double Skin Paia with Greg

    Greg from BRM is back on the mic to share the details behind his latest creation: the Paia, and his take on a double-skin Parawing designed for riders chasing higher performance. We dig into what this means in real use—how does a wing with more structure and material hold up when it comes to relaunch, packability, and real-world versatility? Greg breaks down the thinking behind this new design and where it fits into BRM’s growing Parawing lineup. And yes—he said this is his favorite podcast.
