Season 1, Episode 1 of the WeAreFoiling Podcast!! We were super patient and it took a few months but we sat down with Emirates Team New Zealand CEO Grant Dalton to break down the evolution of foiling in Pro Sailing from the "big bang" of the 2013 America's Cup all the way through hydrogen fuel cell powerboats, the applicatiion of foiling in decarbonization efforts and the first ever proper physics model foiling online gaming platform.

We couldn't think of a person more central to the growth of windsports and professional foiling than Grant. He's been at the center of it all, shaping and challenging the future of sailing's most influential show, the America's Cup. And through his last two Cup wins, he has decided to make some positive change in the world outside of sailing, too.

This is a wide-ranging interview where we get a little techy on Cup boat designs and foiling boats for public transportation. We hit on the women's and youth America's Cup introduced by Team New Zealand, and we even talk about life after the Cup, his philosophy on leadership, and what he's gotten right in his life and what he wants to change post-Cup.

Grant is controversial, wicked smart, and likely the most determined Cup character the sport has ever seen. I hope you enjoy our converstaion and his perspective on sport, technology and life.
