Clifford Coetzer (@unifoil) is the designer for UniFoil.  He was the first designer to make a high aspect and a dihedral foil, the hyper and vortex.  Both designed 4 years ago and still good by today's standards.  His latest foil, the Vyper, designed with Adam Bennetts, is setting a new bar on the surf side of foiling.  He comes back on the show to discuss how his thoughts on design have changed, performance vs. stiffness, where he finds inspiration and a special announcement about a new collaboration!!!!!

Jeremy Riggs (@paddlewithriggs)goes deep on his downwind journey and techniques he's using to voyage the seas.

Jeremy Riggs was born on April 2nd, 1972 in Wilmington North Carolina. Growing up he always enjoyed going to the beach and riding waves. Riggs had always dreamed of riding waves in Hawaii. In 1997, at the age of 25, he had the opportunity to move to Maui, Hawaii and booked a one-way ticket to paradise. When Riggs moved to Maui he got a job in the marble and granite industry. During his time off he would explore the beaches on Maui to find new ways to ride waves. In the year 2000 Riggs bought his first prone paddleboard and was introduced to downwind paddling by some of his peers. Since then, Riggs has enjoyed downwind paddling on the North shore of Maui using standup paddle boards, outrigger canoes, surfskis, and is currently enjoying downwind runs on his foil board. He started coaching paddlers in the different disciplines of downwind in 2009 and still offers his services today. Riggs has been happily married for 21 years and has 2 daughters ages 11 and 13.

Jeremy Wilmotte (@oceanpixels) was born in Belgium and now calls Sydney, Australia home for himself and family. He began foiling roughly 4 years ago and has never looked back.  He states "every single foiling division is so much fun no matter how many obstacles get thrown at me to return to the normal path of the standard citizen. Recently I have started to venture into bigger hollower waves similar to my previous obsession as a grumpy old retired surfer."
