The Generic Foiling Podcast

A relatively raw and indepth debrief into the AWSI event for 2026 with ourselves and the guys from the X Foils podcast - Dylan and Walt.We recorded an hour of us interviewing them, and then switched to an hour(ish) of them interviewing us - you can see their version on their own podcast this week also!Its so interesting hearing their views on the show and the goings on within the industry at the moment while coming from the more American side of it than us. Theres definite opposing views between all of us - but that’s not to say either of us in right or wrong. It creates some great conversation though!I'm mildly wary of this episode… only because it felt like it took a while for us to get going and I think I (Freddie) come across quite Doom and Gloom - maybe more than usual. Give it a chance, and maybe use our conversation as talking points. Theres definitely more to be discussed in future and we definitely ask a few more questions than we answer. Also check out part 2 on the X Foils Youtube and Spotify!

We knew we had to meet up quick to record a debrief and ‘deload' from what was a very intense week at the start of October - and a decent forecast midweek at Daymer Bay gave us the perfect setting. An epic parawing session in great conditions, followed by a smash burger and beer at Bluntrock Brewery to see out our evening catch up.The fourth year of the Kernow Foil Classic saw Chris raise the bar considerably with his grass roots foil comp he's been organising, and unless you've been under a rock you might've seen bits and pieces all over social media for the last couple weeks. We got a lot of compliments about this, but actually it was all Chris and his media team pumping out videos with our faces plastered on them.Enjoy this - Chris is a good mate and it was awesome to see him in full flow during the event - which absolutely went off. We were all was too exhausted and dazed to record anything like this on the Sunday of the event and hopefully a few days of winding down was what was needed to put some logical thoughts down for you guys all to hear. Whether you were at the event and curious to know what was going on behind the scenes, or watching the socials from the other side of the world - we've no doubt you'll enjoy this episode.For those of you wanting to get involved next year - the dates are already secured for 4th-10th October 2027.As always - rate us 5 stars, we don't accept anything else.

We sit down with Jon Modica from Cabrinha for our 153rd episode!Jon discusses their new foil, the Domani in great detail as well as how they've come about the new Nomad Parawing. Frustratingly we've not managed to use either yet as we've had such poor conditions since getting home and then rushed straight into the Kernow Foil Classic event at home where we spent most of the week running around interviewing everyone else! All in good time, Cabrinha have sent us a couple bits to have a play on and we're looking forward to it!Rate us 5 stars, follow on here, subscribe on YouTube, all that stuff.

They've come heavily armed to this years event with a complete new board range, new mast, new foils and new witty banter for us.This is a generic foiling special.
