The Progression Project

Austin Tovey (@austintovey) is a world class waterman excelling in foil, kite, wake and wing. He threw the first tantrum in the surf and first raley behind the boat on foil. He is consistently landing 360 airs frontside and backside and goes huge on everything! Austin comes on to talk about the progression in foil airs, his incredible relationship with his dad/tow partner/foiler who is also as frothy as he is, how he sees skill-mapping, and what makes Jax Beach epic for a waterman. Plus tons more...

Chris Rasman is a professional freeride and competitive snowboarder now on the Natural Selection Tour. He's been foil brained in the offseason for the last few years and is taking his boardsports talent to surf and wing foiling. On the podcast we dive into how he's approaching learning foiling, how he's had to switch his mindset from freeride to competition, style, social media's influence on sports and athletes and skill mapping.

Justin Bruns is a sponsored foiler, winger and high-level kiter. His instagram is equal parts water sports and space technology. We cover foiling, climate change, nuclear power and lots of foiling.

Mike Pedigo is back. Mike is arguably the best foiler in Florida, maybe the east coast. He makes his own foils and rips on everything. If you haven't heard his other episodes go check them out.

Matt Costa is a foiler and mathematician who has a hobby of studying wave fundamentals. He comes on the show to educate us on how waves are formed, what makes epic downwind conditions and a ton of stuff you thought you understood but really didn't (at least I didn't...). He supports helmets and boog-foiling.

James Casey (@james__casey) comes back on the podcast for the 4th time to teach us how to downwind, announce his new downwind online course with private coaching by him, and we discuss what's up with baseplate shimming, setting up your foil, how folks starting now have it easy and tons more...
