We're going to the AWSI..... Next Year

What we talk about

• Recorded from their own living rooms while everyone else is at AWSI. They want to go next year, if they can sort the money
• Liam on the Foil Drive: Armstrong downwind board, Axis 1300 foil and a trigger on his paddle. Switching from motor to riding waves was tricky
• Foil Drive verdict: about 5 kg extra, feels good when the prop breaches, 15 minute setup. Neither of them would buy one right now
• Liam's first proper SUP foil session with Rich on the Armstrong board and a Phantom 1480, and how many waves he caught compared with prone
• SUP foiling tips: a bigger paddle blade helps balance, take off slightly angled, and tiny mast position changes make a big difference
• Winging a downwind board in 8 to 10 knots, mixed feelings on the Skate 650 front wing, and a Phantom S 840 they'd like to try
• Duotone dropping the Fanatic name from its wing and paddle board ranges, and why one brand makes sense
• The Ozone twin skin wing prototype video, whether it could ever be a real product, and big air winging versus kiting
