What we talk about
- Liam's first downwind on a wing board, with Guy Bridge riding behind as safety. He let go of the wing and it blew towards the cliffs
- Freddie's first paddle tries on a borrowed downwind board in Exmouth chop, and dock starting an Axis 1180 Spitfire instead of the 1150 Pump and Glide
- A prone weekend in Cornwall with hardly any waves, spring tides making it harder than the neap trip, and flat water winging helping Liam's tacks and jibes
- A Foil Drive session at Westward Ho in small waves and sunshine, linking waves then driving out to sea to practise downwinding
- Foil Drive etiquette: keep well clear of surfers and stay off busy surf beaches like Fistral. Bigger swell and whitewater make launching harder too
- Hard handles and booms versus soft handles on wings, a welded leading edge, and how much personal preference matters
- Event news: a wing foil race series in Scotland looking for juniors, and the second Colonel Foyle Classic in October with a live podcast
