The Generic Foiling Podcast Freddie and Liam!

We welcome Wieger back finally, after chatting to him way back at the start of 2023. His best selling Appleslice model is being renewed for the 3rd Version and so it seemed like a great excuse to rope him back in.



I'm sure we did discuss the new board at least a little bit but as always its the ramblings in other directions that made this chat so much fun once again. Great guy, great brand - we hope you enjoy this one. And if you haven't listened to the first episode we did with Wieger way back when, its well worth a listen



Appletree seems to have gone from strength to strength over the last 12 months and Wieger gives us a run down on how the companies changed in the background and whats been going on.



We're incredibly pleased to announce we've booked flights to the AWSI event in Hood River later in 2024, and we look forward to chilling with a beer with the Appletree crew there! If you're enjoying what we're doing and feel up to supporting us in anyway, check out buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast. All funds are going straight towards our trip as well as investing in any new equipment to make sure we can get plenty content while we're out there!

Ben Rhodes and Stevie Morrison join us this week for a couple beers in Liams flat. They partnered together in the 49'er sailing fleet way back when, winning multiple world championships and representing Great Britain in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.



Exmouth locals, they're both now into their coaching of both Olympic kite foil racing and sailing while being well into their own personal foiling journeys - Stevie loves his winging and Ben's got his eyes fixated on mastering Downwinding.....



Two great fellas with a lot of good stories from their competitive days - this was a lot of fun to record!



If you like what we're doing, check out buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast - we’re aiming to get ourselves away on some specific trips this year to make sure we have some great people to chat to, and we’d appreciate all the support we can get to bring our ideas to life!

Multiple sessions this week just gone, we've had some great powered conditions to play in! Jezza's traffic light power zones has worked its wonders on Freddie's wiggles on the wave....




Liams had his mind on some board building ideas and we hear from Ken Adgate briefly for some thoughts to discuss.
More Room 101 points from our own dear listeners!



Give us a shout on the socials and say hello - lets see your t-shirts anyone who's got them?! Speaking of T-shirts..... we still have some podcast logo tee's from the first drop leftover. More sizes and more Wang Lordz tee's to be printed soon enough again :)

It'd been too long, we've been overdue a good chat with our man over in Aus. Today Jeremy joins us as a co-host of sorts and we catch up on the coming and goings.



I'm writing this on Sunday evening and Liam and I just finished a 20 mile running race today, its safe to say my brain isn't quite computing anything yet (neither of us would classify ourselves as runners. I promise this episode with the Big Fella is a good one, i just can't quite remember what the hell we talked about it.....



Enjoy!

Kane shouldn't need an introduction - he's been around long enough in the foiling space, producing hugely popular after market rear wings to suit every brand's kit. But now he's working solidly at KT as a designer we were keen to hear plans!



Liam and Kane waffle on almost straight away into techy foil designs..... and as always, Freddie brings it back in line for the masses with a mixture of shit chat and bad jokes.



Hope everyones well - its been cranking in the UK the last few days, hope everyones been getting out and about!



If you like what we're up to and you're keen to support, we're still trying to build funds for future projects and trips (mainly a trip to AWSI at the moment) - check out www.buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast
