Cash Berzolla is one of the most exciting riders in foiling right now, but despite growing up surfing on Maui, he wasn’t exactly convinced when he first tried wing foiling. In fact, he actively resisted getting his own setup before eventually becoming completely hooked.

In this episode of The Foil Pod, Rou Chater catches up with Cash to talk about growing up on Maui, his journey from surfing into foiling and how the relationship between the two sports is beginning to change. They discuss why more professional surfers are quietly discovering foiling, Cash’s career with Armstrong, the films and trips that have helped his riding reach beyond the foil world, and the equipment he is currently using.

They also get into the more serious side of Cash’s riding, from foiling Jaws and tackling big waves to crossing the Hawaiian channels by downwind foil, including one mission that left him alone in the middle of the Kaiwi Channel struggling to get back onto foil.

Above all, Cash’s approach is refreshingly simple. Surf, wing, prone, downwind or whatever else gets you into the ocean, the important thing is to have fun.

Hit play and enjoy the episode.
