We've been quiet - its been a slow start to the year for both of us. But here we are, back with a nice new episode for all to hear.

Liams bought a house and is spending his days rubbing the walls down with sand paper, so he's been far too pre-occupied to talk foiling. Coupled with the constant rain and lack of motivation to get out, we haven't actually foiled until this sunday just gone - my first session since NZ!

So, we dissect a session and some more new kit as always, and we also put some thoughts down on this fancy new Titan2 system F-One have been getting some grief for. They're opinions, but they're fun ones.

Hope everyones been getting out and about more than us!

The start of the year is always a fun one with regards shakes up in the industry. One such shake up was hearing that Edo was leaving F-one after a very successful couple years working with the brand. Where would he end up going?

It might have come as a surprise to hear he was going to be working alongside the Slingshot guys - but I recon once you've listened to what the man himself has to say you'll understand the decision completely.

A young man at the pinnacle of his discipline meets a young team with a tonne of potential at a brand with a strong heritage - we look forward to seeing where that can go!

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.

Freddie went to New Zealand and had a great time - if thats all you need to hear, then maybe give this episode a miss....

If not, we delve into his time down under and the many multiple sessions had one many multiple discipline while down there. Some lovely chat on Parawangs too....

Kane De Wilde - Foiling extraordinaire and designer for KT foiling. This was a really enjoyable relaxed episode with Kane in which you get a sense about the man behind the riding and design. We cover a wide range of topics including:

- Hollow board construction and comaprisons

- Hawaii downwind race series & racing mindset

- His personal design philosophies

- Why he rides such a wide array of equipment and gets so creative with his riding.

- Favourite pizza toppingsThere was some sort of audio interferance going on during recording unfortuantely which I've done my best to remove in the edit, sorry if you notice that and it affects the listening experience.

We hope you enjoy the episode.

Finally - we hear you say!

The lesser known Buurma brother - hiding away in Portugal running the factory and surfing every day

Wieger and Jorrit run and operate Appletree themselves - but Wieger has been the face of the brand online for a while now. As soon as we met Jorrit in 2024 we knew we had to chuck him in the limelight a little too - he’s too funny to sit in the background.

We recorded this in his office, after hours in the Appletree factory while on a lads trip to Portugal with some friends. We discuss their new Radix mast connection concept system, upcoming hollow board projects and delve into the new finishing products they’re now using.

It’s techy but enjoyable - a pleasure to listen back to!

3rd times a charm they say! Back in Richies hot tub, post session together and pre party (which got a bit loose) This year we delved relatively deep into actual foiling stuff which might be a surprise and of some interest. There is an awful lot of nonsense too though...

Been looking forward to doing this for a long time - it’s a great tradition we’ve started for ourselves and long may it continue. It’s been a busy year for all and it’s been a while since the four of us sat down at all - perhaps we need to prioritise doing this more often, even without the mics!

Enjoy the ridiculousness of this latest episode of nonsense. We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and we’ll see you in the New Year!

Something a little bit different for you today. Daniel Riley is a full time Youtuber having amassed nearly a million subscribers at the time of recording. His Youtube channel follows his 'builds' and interests, which include almost anything that flies in air or water.

In recent years he has done more and more content around hydrofoiling—dockstarting, building his own TowBoogie (Toby the Tow Boat), making one of the world's largest autopilot efoils with a paddleboard and lawnchair. He is a fascinating character with knowledge and stories to share.
