143 - Omen Foils - Greg Falck
3w ago02:12:35Tap to summarizeOne of our most requested interviewee's for a while now, we finally managed to all organise a time to chat.We don't see much/any Omen here in the UK but we're very much aware of it's presence - and Greg has cemented himself as one of those foil brands thats worth listening to. His Youtube presence has been solid since the beginning and even Liam and I have learnt a lot by listening to him explain the likes of mast shims in easy and precise language on the internet - well worth a watch if you haven't already.Enjoy the chat - its a lengthy one, and Liam and Greg really dive into the tech!We're still blaming a slow start to the year for our lack of episodes.... but I understand its now nigh on May!! You'll be happy to hear the suns out here in the UK, the winds been stonking and Liam and I have both had some awesome sessions - which means chatting about said sessions can only be a short time away.

142 - Dave Kalama
Mar 3102:12:32Tap to summarizeWhen Gabriella Bella messages you to say that Dave Kalama wants to come on the podcast, you don't quite know what to believe. April fool's?! Cruel joke set up by the X Foils podcast? A messenger from someone Freddie's offended. What neither of us expected was that he was a semi regular listener and was keen for a chinwag. It is fair to say that we both thoroughly enjored the oppurtunity to share a conversation with this watersports legend and think we made the most of it!We hope you enjoy this one....if you don't, we'd may as well sack it all in!

141 - Dane Wilson
Mar 2401:38:25Tap to summarizeVideographer extraordinaire, Dane WilsonWe met Dane for the first time last year when we were forced 'last minute' to MC his and Josh Ku's latest video escapades from Bali in Hood River. Turns out he's been involved with a fair few of our favourite foiling footage over the last few years - so we were keen to learn more.This is what its all about - enthusiasm and enjoyment. Thanks to Dane for taking the time - we look forward to catching up again in real time, now we're better acquainted!If you like what we're doing, check out https://buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast to support. We're hoping to use the funds to buy beers in both America and Australia later this year.... God knows those Aussie beers are expensive.

140 - A Session Debrief and the F-One Titan2
Mar 301:21:24Tap to summarizeWe've been quiet - its been a slow start to the year for both of us. But here we are, back with a nice new episode for all to hear.Liams bought a house and is spending his days rubbing the walls down with sand paper, so he's been far too pre-occupied to talk foiling. Coupled with the constant rain and lack of motivation to get out, we haven't actually foiled until this sunday just gone - my first session since NZ!So, we dissect a session and some more new kit as always, and we also put some thoughts down on this fancy new Titan2 system F-One have been getting some grief for. They're opinions, but they're fun ones.Hope everyones been getting out and about more than us!

139 - Edo Tanas Joins Slingshot
Feb 1601:39:01Tap to summarizeThe start of the year is always a fun one with regards shakes up in the industry. One such shake up was hearing that Edo was leaving F-one after a very successful couple years working with the brand. Where would he end up going?It might have come as a surprise to hear he was going to be working alongside the Slingshot guys - but I recon once you've listened to what the man himself has to say you'll understand the decision completely.A young man at the pinnacle of his discipline meets a young team with a tonne of potential at a brand with a strong heritage - we look forward to seeing where that can go!

138 - Ken Adgate & Kyle Touhey - Who doesn't want to own a Ken Adgate board? It seems one of the big brands were asking the same question!
Feb 1001:44:06Tap to summarizeFOILING NNEEEEWWWWWWSSSSZ! This is big!In this episode Liam sits down with Ken Adgate and Kyle Touhey...funnily enough, they talk about boards. The boys have wanted to have this catch up for a long time to review Liam's most recent DIY board project which they provided the shape for, but it got pushed quickly to the top of the to do list when we found out that one of the big dog foil brands were bringing the guy's most recent design concept to production.This is something I'm so stoked to see come to fruition and it is something that, now the wheels are in motion, I can't help being surprised it didn't happen sooner. Anyway, listen along to hear what they've been up to. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Jan 1901:19:12Tap to summarizeKane De Wilde - Foiling extraordinaire and designer for KT foiling. This was a really enjoyable relaxed episode with Kane in which you get a sense about the man behind the riding and design. We cover a wide range of topics including:- Hollow board construction and comaprisons- Hawaii downwind race series & racing mindset- His personal design philosophies- Why he rides such a wide array of equipment and gets so creative with his riding.- Favourite pizza toppingsThere was some sort of audio interferance going on during recording unfortuantely which I've done my best to remove in the edit, sorry if you notice that and it affects the listening experience. We hope you enjoy the episode.

135 - Jorrit Buurma
Jan 501:34:30Tap to summarizeFinally - we hear you say!The lesser known Buurma brother - hiding away in Portugal running the factory and surfing every dayWieger and Jorrit run and operate Appletree themselves - but Wieger has been the face of the brand online for a while now. As soon as we met Jorrit in 2024 we knew we had to chuck him in the limelight a little too - he’s too funny to sit in the background.We recorded this in his office, after hours in the Appletree factory while on a lads trip to Portugal with some friends. We discuss their new Radix mast connection concept system, upcoming hollow board projects and delve into the new finishing products they’re now using.It’s techy but enjoyable - a pleasure to listen back to!If you like what we’re doing- check out buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast to support with beers, or checkout the Website in the bio to buy tee’s and beanies!

134 - WangLordz Christmas Special - 3rd Edition
Dec 2302:26:30Tap to summarize3rd times a charm they say! Back in Richies hot tub, post session together and pre party (which got a bit loose) This year we delved relatively deep into actual foiling stuff which might be a surprise and of some interest. There is an awful lot of nonsense too though...Been looking forward to doing this for a long time - it’s a great tradition we’ve started for ourselves and long may it continue. It’s been a busy year for all and it’s been a while since the four of us sat down at all - perhaps we need to prioritise doing this more often, even without the mics!Enjoy the ridiculousness of this latest episode of nonsense. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and we’ll see you in the New Year!
