Jan 1901:19:12Tap to summarizeKane De Wilde - Foiling extraordinaire and designer for KT foiling.

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.

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!

133 - RCTESTFLIGHT (Daniel Riley)
Dec 1501:40:47Tap to summarizeSomething a little bit different for you today. Daniel Riley is a full time Youtuber having amassed nearly a million subscribers at the time of recording. His Youtube channel follows his 'builds' and interests, which include almost anything that flies in air or water. In recent years he has done more and more content around hydrofoiling—dockstarting, building his own TowBoogie (Toby the Tow Boat), making one of the world's largest autopilot efoils with a paddleboard and lawnchair. He is a fascinating character with knowledge and stories to share.If you're not already, consider subscribing to Daniel's channel RCTESTFLIGHT and following him on his socials. I suspect you'll be glad you did.

123 - Ewan Jaspan - NAISH Parawing and Kite Lead Designer
Oct 601:56:06Tap to summarizeHaving invaded his home in Hood River, commandeered his wifi, made cups of English tea, used his electricity to top up the airbeds, charged all electronic devices, and had a good poo, we figured we ought to sit down and do a podcast with the man of the hour, Ewan Jaspan. Ewan has been on Freddie and Liam's radar for decades as a professional kiteboarding athlete, pioneer amongst both the freestyle and wakestyle, and a standout filmmaker. Whilst he still pushes hard on the kite, he has been as hooked by foiling as the rest of us and rarely a windy day at the hatchery will go by without him sending a few laps with a paddle or parawing in hand.Nowadays Ewan is the lead parawing and kite designer for Naish who will soon by release the appropriately named 'Hatch' parawing. This is his baby from start to finish and is a firm favourite amongst those locals lucky enough to have experienced the prototype iterations through its development. It is a product we are excited to see hit the market.We hope you enjoy what we do. Rate us 5 stars on the podcast platforms, subscribe to our YouTube which now has some cool videos on there and send us a few quid on www.buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast so we can keep doing trips and bringing you content recorded face-to-face, which we think produces much better results.Until next time, enjoy!
