About this episode

The big one! We've given these guys a fair bit of grief over the last 18 months after initially hearing of their release - but we were very happy to sit down with designer extraordinaire, Chris Reynolds to set the story straight and to see how the entire process had come about now the product is on the market!

Legenrdary surfer turned foiler Eric Geiselman joins in to then give us his use cases for the FliteLab now its out and how its changed his outlook on prone surf foiling.

A great sit down with these guys - and about time too!
