FOILING AT 108KG, the true test of equipment: Sven Mayer | Ep. 17

Sven has got to be one of the most stoked foilers in WA, he won't miss an opportunity to go out for a foil session and there is never a session where he is not smiling. He has always gone out of his way to find the right kit, pushing brands such as Axis to create products for the bigger riders. It was awesome to talk to Sven about everything that he has done foiling as well as discussing new equipment that he is using. If YOU have any foiling stories that you would like to share on the podcast please email them to [email protected] or send a DM to The Foil Project instagram. We would love to hear a voice message or a video! From us at TFP, Stay Pumped!
