THE SPENCER BROS.

UPLOADED • A few of the Foiling Magazine team were lucky enough to head out to the North Actionsports Group meeting earlier this year. While we were there we got to see a teaser of one of their product clips featuring a few well-known names doing some pretty interesting things with a foil, an insanely blue body of water, and an electric-powered skateboard. We decided to find out some more… Here’s the story behind that film from North riders Jesse Richman and Jalou Langeree…

JULIEN FILLION • Waking up at 4am to get the morning light beauty always makes shots feel special, that indescribable warmth that you get. The wave in this picture is part of a series of sort of secret waves along a certain “river” in Canada, which only happen in early spring at this spot. We regularly surfed these waves for years, and right now I think we are only just scratching the surface of how good hydrofoiling can be on a river wave like this.

We caught up with Caio mid-tour, and talked to him about unforgettable foil sessions, weird bottoms, and the waterman lifestyle…

THE ROBBY NAISH INTERVIEW • THERE ARE FEW HUMAN BEINGS ON THIS PLANET WHO’VE HAD SUCH A ROUNDED, ROOT-AND-BRANCH INVOLVEMENT IN AS MANY WATERSPORTS AS ROBBY NAISH HAS. SO IF THERE IS SOMEONE YOU CAN TRUST TO TAKE A COMPANY TO THE TECHNOLOGICAL FOREFRONT OF THE FOILING GAME, THEN THE CONSUMMATE WATERSPORT LEGEND IS ONE OF THEM. EVEN A BROKEN PELVIS AND A BROKEN FOOT DIDN’T DETER HIM FROM EMBRACING THIS BRAVE NEW WORLD…

ELECTRIC DREAMS • When trailblazers like Laird and Kai are openly expounding the clear ‘water-time’ benefits of riding eFoils, you know it’s something that the rest of the foiling world (and the world in general) is going to stand up and take note of. Puerto Rico-based Lift Foils have been at the forefront of electric foiling from day one, with their fair share of slam-dunks and stumbles along the way. Founder / CEO Nick Leason filled us in…

SURF FOILING BASICS • Surf foiling is an incredible new way to ride waves, offering a unique feeling of freedom and the ability to tackle waves and lumps of moving water you never thought possible. Whether you’re completely new to surfing or a WCT veteran, there are a few tips that can save you a lot of time on your way to becoming a foil wizard.

CHARLES BERTRAND • As established kite brands began to dip their toes into increasingly foil-friendly waters a few years back, there were a handful of brands who decided to go ‘all in’ and fully embraced this world nice and early. Amongst them was F-ONE. Their range is now as well tailored to the requirements of surf and SUP foilers as it has been...
