  • 70 - Newquay Summertime - We've had a breakthrough with the prone game!
    May 22 2024

    Its finally happened, we've had an actual run of successful prone conditions! We've spent the last week both winging and proning in some great small conditions and the progress has been awesome.


    Cornish Foil Frother Phil reached out to us, very kindly offering up his AirBnB for us to scope out within walking distance of some of the best beaches in Newquay. He's had a quiet start to the summer and we're all hoping a 10% offer to any foiler mentioning the GFP on booking will entice some of you fellow frothers out of your own counties and down to Cornwall to invade the famous secret spots!


    Use the following link for AirBnb, or search for Beach View House, Newquay - https://tinyurl.com/y597vtc5


    Plenty of chat about foiling, foils and foilers as always.


    More T-Shirts are on order as we're almost sold out - anyone for white?!


    Check out https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast if you're interested in supporting what we do! Turns out international foil event travel is expensive, and better audio equipment aint cheap either!

  • 69 - Steph & Eric Bridge (Edge Watersports)
    May 13 2024

    This week we welcome Lord and Lady Bridge of Exmouth to our little show. Famous across the county and further afield in the wing/kite industry and incredibly well regarded - nobody forgets meeting Steph and Eric Bridge.


    From starting a small sailing school back in the 80's in their home town of Exmouth, to now running one of the most successful kite/wing schools and shops in the UK - The Bridges have seen it all. Multiple world titles for Steph in a fledgling kite race scene, followed by guiding their 3 boys (Olly, Guy, Tom) to become some of the best watermen to ever have come out of the UK.


    We both call the Bridge family friends, (as well as ex employers of both of us) and we thank them for allowing us to invade their house with our aim to get them to sit still for an entire hour and talk to us on record.... Everyone who knows any of the family will know how much of an effort that can be for all of them. We did have to contend with scheduled haircuts mid way through - but Eric did a good job of holding the microphone while sitting in the chair. How I wish we had photos of that.... It does mean that this chat only scratches the surface of their accomplishments, and we'd love to do another episode with them. We are going to have to rethink the recording though as they really only rarely sit down.


    Enjoy!


    We're slowly getting back to a more regular schedule of weekly episodes, and we've got some fun trips coming up to spend some time chatting away on mic's about, so keep listening. Theres 68 other episodes to keep you going though, if you've joined us recently!


    If you like what we're doing, check out https://buymeacoffee.com/gfpodcast to donate whatever you like. All proceeds are going towards funding our trip to the AWSI event in America this september (and the odd beers)


    we've also still got t-shirts available for anyone else interested!

  • 68 - The Salmon
    May 2 2024

    Freddie's away so Liam has a chat with local boy Jack Salmon. A name that is already likely to be known by UK folk, Jack has the potential to take things further in the watersports industry once he has got his degree out of the way.

    Not only is he a talented waterman that excels in every discipline he takes his hand to, but he's an energetic creative that also enjoys his time behind the camera and producing videos.


    I'm sure we'll see more and more from the salmon as time goes on.
