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!

What we talk about

• How Ken Adgate and Kyle Touhey met and ended up designing boards together
• Why a board that works for an average rider can fall apart when it's scaled up for a big one
• Narrow boards, rail shape and rocker, and why Liam's DIY wing and parawing board turns so hard
• Hand shaping against CNC cutting, and why Ken still loves a hand shape
• The Slingshot board on the way, from layup choice to the matte finish
• Michael McKinley's adjustable Tuttle box and why deck angle matters more than most brands admit
• Tuttle against plate masts, thin mast profiles and what mast conversions showed Ken
• Hollow board builds, the mistakes everyone makes building their own, and the five planned sizes

About this episode

FOILING 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.
