EXPOSURE

CHARGED WATER • There are few people as dialed into eFoil evolution as Simon Axmann, Fliteboard’s Senior eFoil Engineer. He’s even garnered the nickname “The OG” in eFoil circles along the way, and there’s every chance that he’s logged more hours and miles on eFoils than anyone else. Charged Water celebrates that journey…

RRD YOUNG WINGS • The second RRD Young Wings event – created as a platform for promising young wingfoil athletes to be able to hone their skills through tutorage, video replay and general osmosis from the combined raw talent in play – took place once again in Lake Garda, under the watchful direction of its founder, Matteo Guazzoni…

SECRET SPOT • WILLOW-RIVER TONKIN

The Catamaran Sessions • The on-water action was in abundance for Duotone’s all-women wingfoil adventure around the mediterranean coastline of Corsica and Sardinia – but it also gave the team a chance to former deeper bonds and connections both off and on the boat.

APPLETREE’S NEW FACTORY SPACE • With Appletree now firmly settled into their impressive new factory space in Portugal, we got a chance to speak with Appletree’s cofounder and Commercial Director, Wieger Buurma, to find out exactly what the new setup offers in terms of business growth and sustainability efforts.

Curiosity getting the better of us as it so often does, we threw some questions at Foil Drive’s Global Brand Manager Caitlyn Francis, for a quick ‘n’ dirty overview of what it’s all about…

MANAWA POWER • Between heavy swells, squalls, and the occasional rainbow, Francesca Maini reflects on what makes Manawa in Le Morne one of the most rewarding (if slightly unpredictable) foil waves on the planet…

ASSAULT ON THE FORTRESS • Looming large in the waters off France’s west coast, the Napoleonic-era Fort Boyard stands on a shallow bank, once a bastion of defense for the nearby port of Rochefort. And on rare occasions, it transforms into a uniquely positioned – if somewhat sketchy – point break, perfectly suited for tow-in adventures…

THE CEDRUS STORY • From its origins as a one-man engineering experiment to a globally respected mast manufacturer, Cedrus founder Kyle Lobisser certainly has a story to tell about his journey to date. Using a precision-driven, data-led approach to mast making, and with sustainability high on the brand’s agenda, Cedrus is proving that the mast can be as performance-defining as the foil itself…

GOOD STUFF

BUOYS CLUB • It’s always beneficial when you know the right people in the right places. And it so happened that – upon a recent trip to Tahiti – some useful local knowledge and couple of technique hacks turned a good session into a great session…

The FAMILY you choose • Ask any team rider what makes a good sponsor, and I’d wager that being made to feel like you’re “valued” and part of the team “family” rates pretty highly. No one wants to feel like they’re transactional or just a cog in a machine. AXIS have built a reputation for fierce loyalty toward their team riders, and, as Olivia Piana and friends show here, that loyalty clearly runs both ways…
