Lab Rat Foiler is not just a podcast; it’s a movement toward embracing a culture of innovation and creativity in foiling. The athletes we interview are continuously pushing the boundaries of foiling, and through their stories, we aim to inspire others to take risks, experiment, and become Lab Rats in this foiling experiment.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

31_Jack Ho: Talking Parawing, Style, Gear and Downwind Foiling Flow
Q: What does a typical downwind session look like in terms of effort and repetition?
A downwind run involves hundreds of turns and a continuous pump-to-turn rhythm. The rider stays in the flow by connecting carves to the next bump, using each turn to carry momentum into the next. The session emphasizes repetition to build confidence with stashing, redeploying, and staying up through long runs.
31_Jack Ho: Talking Parawing, Style, Gear and Downwind Foiling Flow
Q: What kind of gear are you finding works well for the parawing, and what are you riding out there?
The core idea is to use a smaller board to enable turn-heavy downwind riding, with a mix of gear evolved from wind sport backgrounds. Jack discusses a 47-liter, 5-2-17 board and the shift from high-aspect wings to downwind-suited surf wings that are chopped for better turning, prioritizing low-end lift and manageable speed to match the bumps.
026_Aliaj Valic: How Triple Seven Is Redefining Parawing Technology
Q: Can you explain the difference between single and double skin parawings?
Single skins operate at higher angles of attack and offer easier takeoff conditions, while double skins are more efficient and have better glide ratios.
025_Patrick Rebstock: Exploring the World of Downwinding with the Parawing
Q: What do you recommend in terms of safety and gear to take out for downwinding?
Safety concerns include having flotation, a waterproof phone case, and ensuring you are close to shore to manage risks effectively.
025_Patrick Rebstock: Exploring the World of Downwinding with the Parawing
Q: Tell us a little bit about your spot and how the parowing is helping you with downwind runs.
Where I live is the Central Coast of California, with a big sandy bay, making the parowing versatile for accessing better bumps and navigating different conditions.
