  • It’s about time.

    Finally, it’s great to see wing foiling get some cover in the pod space. Who better to bring it here then Lachie White, one of the most prolific wing foil Youtubers out there and generally approachable awesome guy. Really looking forward to the series.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Switching to a Race Wing | Emma Webb
Q: What sort of gear did you kick off with when you started winging?
I started on beginner gear from SIC Bevan, with a SMIC wing, and later moved to Axis boards and foils as I progressed through Mirimbula into more serious racing.
Accessible One Design Wing Foil Racing | The X15 Class
Q: How is race format being developed for inclusivity?
Events in Portugal will test a mixed-age format with no strict separation by age, aiming to mix riders of different backgrounds and use development feedback to shape future formats while keeping entry barriers low and participation high.
Accessible One Design Wing Foil Racing | The X15 Class
Q: What are the core gear principles of X15 today?
The focus is on accessibility, durability, and performance with a single 82-liter board for all divisions, three front foil options (560, 880, 1200), and wings designed to enable broad participation and easy upgrades, plus a move from carbon to mixed configurations for younger groups to keep costs down.
Accessible One Design Wing Foil Racing | The X15 Class
Q: What is the background that led Ava to work with the X15 class?
Ava started in one-design sailing (Laser) and moved into foiling, recognizing the benefits of a standardized class for small island nations like Cayman Islands and later joining Starboard and taking on the X15 manager role.
Dante Olivieri - One of a Kind Wing Foil Coaching Philosophy
Q: If wing foiling goes Olympic, what do you think that looks like in terms of development class versus one-design gear?
He believes the path will likely include a structured progression that starts with fundamental sailing skills and gradually incorporates foiling, while recognizing that the equipment and administration will need to be put in place to satisfy world sailing and Olympic requirements; he also emphasizes preferring gear that is user-friendly and cost-conscious while acknowledging the appeal of multiple classes.
