It's that time of year again where I take you behind the scenes of the industry only AWSI wind and water sports tradeshow in Hood River, Oregon. I tried to make the video shorter this year, but because there was no wind, I ended up interviewing almost every brand. Use the chapters below or double tap the right side of your screen to skip to the next topic. I highly recommend watching the interviews with Adrian Roper from AXIS and Kane De Wilde with KT Foiling for some really insightful thoughts on foil design and some of the more exciting foils this year. Check out @Windkitesup for more videos from the event as well as Wing Life Podcast. #wingfoiling #wingfoil #awsi 0:00 - Intro 1:34 - AXIS Part 1 with Nick O’Bea 7:19 - Brittany Ayers 8:00 - Tommy from Gulfport Board Sports 8:19 - Core with Grant Mayo 10:57 - Foilwithme 12:46 - Cabrinha with designer Brody 20:20 - Flysurfer with designer Max 24:53 - Slingshot with Fred Hope 30:41 - North with Uli 38:38 - what_a_flow 39:17 - Code with Ben Tardrew 47:11 - Sab Foil with Jimmy 56:56 - Stinger Boards with Steve 59:23 - bobbykeyzfoils 1:00:00 - sirenamaui 1:01:08 - Armstrong with Ron Stack and Sierra Marie 1:04:05 - Duotone with Taylor 1:07:54 - kai_ziggy_potter shows off the Cabrinha mini wing and teaches us 720s 1:11:07 - Reedin with Damien Girardin 1:15:07 - foiled_my_plans and Proper Foil 1:16:54 - Viento 1:18:00 - Unifoil with Eric Geiselman 1:23:10 - Blue Planet Surf with Robert Stehlik and Dan 1:37:29 - Foil Attitude with Donatien 1:30:42 - Appletree with Wieger 1:45:02 - SIC with shaper Mark Raaphorst 1:47:36 - Foil Drive with Dominic Hoskyns and David 1:55:54 - AXIS Part 2 with Adrian Roper - Fireball, camber, and shimming 2:08:41 - Foil Drive pump race 2:10:54 - Ozone with Jim 2:19:16 - Naish with Nadja Bianchet 2:22:49 - Gwen Le Tutour 2:25:53 - AFS with Richard Boudia 2:31:14 - Eleveight / Action Sports Logistics with Kevin 2:37:46 - Arntson Marine with Nick 2:39:49 - Kaohi Leash with its_me_pono 2:45:28 - KT Foiling with LAfoiler Ryan Arzy 3:05:14 - KT Foiling Part 2 with Kane de Wilde 3:10:15 - Final thoughts
