Up On Foil

Sam is all about looking out for our planet and how we can foil sustainably. As foiling continues to grow, it’s important to consider its environmental impact. Like many industries, watersports equipment production can generate waste, rely on global supply chains, and contribute to overconsumption. However, things can be done differently.

Leashes are not something you write home about - usually. They are in your way, they might be twisted around your feet or you get your Parawing bridals tangled in the coiled part. But if you have a bad fall, you heavily rely on your leash to not loose your board and be safe. In this episode I talked to Roy Lundstedt who is the founder of Kaohi Leash and we talk about the leashes in general and get a little surprise visit from Cynthia Cynbad Brown from Hawaii who helped develop the cover over the coiled part, so that the Parawing lines don't get tangled as much.Thank you so much for taking your time and explaining me what to look for in a leash.https://boardmeetingusa.com is their website, @kaohileash is their InstaCynthias Insta: @cynthiacynbadbrownThanks to Jens of the Foilsessions App for supporting the show.Get your Foiling App here: https://foilsessions.appThanks to the team around SurfEars for their commitment.Get yours here: https://6cZKVD.short.gy/surfearsThank you for helping me out and get some hidden episodes: patreon.com/UpOnFoilCheck out our Website: www.uponfoil.comCheck out the professional Parawing course from @foilratvidshttps://6cZKVD.short.gy/parawingacademy10% off with the code: MATTONFOIL10Chapters00:00 Intro01:50 How it started13:00 coil cover with Cynthia42:00 Research and development57:00 maintenance1:02:40 the name feat.

The videos spoke for themselves - The very first SFT Parawing World Cup was a total success. Even if the wind was pretty weak, the riders showed off what is possible and what an incredible sport this is.Thanks to Jens of the Foilsessions App for supporting the show.Get your Foiling App here: https://foilsessions.appThanks to the team around SurfEars for their commitment.Get yours here: https://6cZKVD.short.gy/surfearsThank you for helping me out and get some hidden episodes: patreon.com/UpOnFoilCheck out our Website: www.uponfoil.comCheck out the professional Parawing course from @foilratvidshttps://6cZKVD.short.gy/parawingacademy10% off with the code: MATTONFOIL10
