Casa Del Liam and Freddies trip to Mauritius

Spotify Apple Podcasts YouTube

What we talk about

  • Edo on winning the M2O for a third time, the busy social media period afterwards, and the Kernow Foil Classic and San Tropez races
  • How the Hawaii race season fits together: Voyager Race and Paddle Imua as qualifiers, then Maui to Molokai, the new Kamalo run and the M2O over four days
  • Picking foil size: most riders end up under foiled in the glassy, light M2O, and experience helps
  • His preparation: three long crossings on consecutive days, mental focus, and staying relaxed until just before the start
  • Racing getting tighter, with Kane, Kai Lenny and Kai Thompson mentioned, and why not falling matters for the top places
  • Why he rode a production foil rather than the Slingshot prototype, what he learned trying other brands' foils, and what he wants from Slingshot's next foil
  • Trent's strong M2O, plus coaching on reading groundswell, flat water pop ups, peeling back off bumps and typical race foil sizes around 500
  • Downtime plans: Hood River with Slingshot, the Project Drag board and Glide 825, spearfishing, and escort boats in races

About this episode

Freddie also spent a week on mauritius for a kite surf event which made for some funny shenanigans.
