If you’re invested in the world of foilboarding, there’s exciting news coming out of one of the market’s leading brands – GoFoil. In our annual interview with GoFoil creator, Alex Aguera, we caught up with him to talk about the company’s latest range of foil wings: the P series.
For those in the dark about foilboarding, it involves a surfboard with a ‘hydrofoil’ that extends into the water, making for an exhilarating surfing experience. The ‘wing’ is the part that sits under the water and provides the lift and turns surfing as we know it into the sensation of flying above the water. Here’s what Alex had to say about GoFoil’s brand-new P series wings.

Introducing the Blue Planet Balance Surfer, a new product launching on Kickstarter now, for details: http://kck.st/2lfc84l
What initially started as a quest for comfort, has now evolved into a patent-pending design that provides 3 different levels of balance challenge in 1 tool-less Board. Competing and training for long-distance races like the Molokai to Oahu race kept me in shape but I was still experiencing back and neck discomfort after long days at my computer.

We’re back with canoe designer and championship coach John Puakea as he shares his latest creation with us, the Kahele OC1 canoe. Johnny designed the Kahele for improved efficiency by eliminating length in the nose and tail of the canoe. Although the Kahele is shorter than most OC1 canoes, it features a longer, optimized waterline of about 19 feet. According to Johnny, this gives the Kahele faster flatwater speeds and more high-end speed in the bumps. The shorter length also makes the Kahele more maneuverable in the surf.
