It’s that time of year again when I take you behind the scenes of the industry only AWSI wind and water sports tradeshow in Hood River, Oregon. Use the chapters below or double tap the side of your screen to skip to the next chapter. We didn’t interview every brand this year but we got a lot of really good in depth interviews with brands like F-One, AXIS, Flite Lab, Stoke, KT, Code, Cabrinha, and many more! Whatever I didn’t get, be sure to check out @foillifepodcast for their excellent interviews including brands like Naish, North, and Slingshot. I was a little disappointed that the tradeshow focused very heavily on foil assist devices, but some brands like AXIS still put most of their focus on improving their foils and boards. Surprisingly, no one tried to talk to me about Parawings except Flow Kiteboarding and Luca V with his passion for the Plume.
