Les Ailes de St. Tropez debrief with Dom Hoskyns (FoilDrive)
Dom was on his way back from Les Ailes de St. Tropez where there was a lot of foiling going on. He specifically talked about the FoilDrive Division where there were more than 30 Foilers on the starting line. Personally, I really think there is a lot of future in this area, because I know from a very good SUP-Foiler, that he had trouble in the Race. And if you can get on foil with an assist, it is accessible for a great range of people... But of course, there is the price. You'll find 15 extra minutes on the Patreon where we talk about a technical issue I had with off-shore winds on vacation and how to handle that double-skin Parawing (BRM Paia): patreon.com/UpOnFoil
