    Guy Bridge and Emma Clamp - A West Aus trip of a lifetime | Ep. 26

    Desert Winds Premiere Tickets: https://www.ticketleap.events/tickets/thefoilproject/desert-winds-premiere-perth Guy and Emma a two absolute rippers from UK and two of the most bubbly and lively people to be around. Scoring insane downwinders and giant wing foil waves in over 2000km of the West Aus Coast, I am pretty sure they have travelled more here than most locals. I first got in contact with Guy in early November through the Generic Foiling Pod guys after we were both CC'd in the same spam email (weird). Guy hit me up about doing some downwinders and getting his hands on a board (epic). Fair to say Guy and Emma both scored, and were luck to finally manage to line up the podcast just the day before they left.Sit back and enjoy this episode! It is certainly one to remember.Until next time, stay pumped.Contents:00:00 - Intro + Desert Winds Announcement03:34 - Start of the trip06:13 - Emma Learning to Downwind in Perth8:38 - Guy gets into foiling in 2013!116:29 - Emma Learns to Foil19:34 - What sparked this trip24:23 - Guys Olympic Campaign 31:11 - And the Travels Begin!48:04 - Travelling Dreams and Shark Stories54:50 - Crazy Northern Adventures\1:02:30 - 20 hour drive back down to Esperance1:07:10 - All the Gear!

    Josh Ku + James Casey on Downwind Racing, Surfing and the short film Game Face

    Link to Gameface film: https://youtu.be/jUlWq3WxUK8 Josh and James don't need much introduction. As the two biggest "dick swingers" of Code Foils as the Generic Foiling Podcast would call it, this podcast was hardly an interview but a chat on all our favourite topics of foilers. This was recorded before the start of WA race week, so as a bit of an update, the weed turned out to be not nearly as bad as we had expected, and made for some great racing. James was consistent as always, coming 1st or 2nd for each race only behind Kai Thompson. Josh and I managed to sneak in for a 3rd place each in the last two races of the week. Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of The Foil Project. Contents: 00:00 - Intro 01:29 - Racing with Weed 12:45 - Game Face film 19:50 - James quitting his job to become full time foiler 24:38 - Steering the ship of foiling 33:36 - Downwind Surf Foil Competitions 40:08 - Surf Foil Style 48:02 - Food and drink while racing 58:40 - A good old stitch up and foiling etiquette 1:11:10 - Foiling Stories (foiling in the dark)

    NORTHERN BEACHES RACE with 18 of The Best Downwind Foilers | Ep. 28

    Let's set the scene. It is Sunday 19th of Jan, and the Northern Beaches Downwind Foil Race has just finished. Foilers are running up the beach, panting and bending over to get their breath back, and then they straighten up, and start to chat. And oh boy do foilers chat after a downwind race. Hugh quickly races to the car and grabs out his 360 cameras and two "pussycat microphones", and dives into the pack of these chatterboxes with full force. This isn't your ordinary podcast, no, this is a live action interview with 18, yes 18!, of the best downwind foilers in the world. Sit back, relax, and hear what they have to say. There are plenty of stories from the weekend, and well as race strategies, that are sure to get your foil brain ticking. Until next time, Stay Pumped!

    Kai Thompson + Alex Tibby - True Bump Hunters | Ep. 27

    Kai and Alex are two madmen from the Sunshine Coast Bump Hunters crew. At the time of this interview they were both competing in race week here in WA, where Kai was having a crazy battle with James Casey and Alex was consistently placing top 3. In the final race (the one happening the afternoon of this podcast) Hugh just managed to snag Alex, claiming the bronze instead of the choccy medal for the first time. Kai came second to James by just 0.9 of a second, meaning he claimed the overall championship for the weekend. Two absolute legends, cannot wait to come over and visit the Sunshine coast. Cheers Boys!

    Andrew Readhead: Solo 200km+ Downwind Foil, a Casual Car Chat | Ep.23

    Caught up with Andrew Readhead for a casual car chat as we head up for another downwind adventure. "Reedie" is right into his adventure racing, and this run has definitely pushed the limits of sport.

    Grae Morris: How Downwind Foiling helped Grae Win an Olympic Medal | Ep. 22

    Our first Olympic Medalist, Grae Morris, joins us on the podcast! We start by chatting about his Olympic campaign, then launch into all the Crazy Downwind Adventures Grae has had while traveling the world. Intro Grae Morris grew up in Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, Australia. His father Brett Morris, was a former national windsurfing champion, now Grae has followed in his footsteps. Grae transitioned to the foiling discipline at age 14 and combined with his power and endurance from both Rugby and Rowing he has become a fierce sailing competitor. This year, Grae crowdfunded $10,000 dollars to attend the Paris Olympics, where he won Australia a silver medal in the IQFoil Event. Congrats Grae! Last year, I did a SUP downwind foil run Grae off the coast of Perth while he was here training. So, I’ve seen first hand that you’re a super talented downwind foiler. I also heard some of the crazy stories of downwind sends that he has been doing back home in Sydney, and I would love to get into them during this podcast. Episode Summary 00:00 - Intro 02:04 - Grae’s Olympic Campaign 09:40 - 2028 Olympics Here we come! 11:51 - Training Regime 17:12 - IQ Foiling Gear 26:48 - How Downwind Foiling helps for Wind foiling 31:55 - Downwind Foiling as an Olympic Sport? 36:47 - Crazy Downwind Sends with Perth Stanlick 44:22 - Downwinders in Europe are mental! 50:57 - The IQ foil tack, sailing best kept secret?
