Each week on Wednesday, the next episode will come out, so keep an eye out for it!In this episode, Hugh catches up with Max and Steve, two co-founders of The Foil Project. They chat through all that has happened from the start of the project, and catch up on all things Aus Tour.

Guy and Emma a two absolute rippers from UK and two of the most bubbly and lively people to be around. Scoring insane downwinders and giant wing foil waves in over 2000km of the West Aus Coast, I am pretty sure they have travelled more here than most locals. I first got in contact with Guy in early November through the Generic Foiling Pod guys after we were both CC'd in the same spam email (weird). Guy hit me up about doing some downwinders and getting his hands on a board (epic). Fair to say Guy and Emma both scored, and were luck to finally manage to line up the podcast just the day before they left.Sit back and enjoy this episode! It is certainly one to remember.Until next time, stay pumped.Contents:00:00 - Intro + Desert Winds Announcement03:34 - Start of the trip06:13 - Emma Learning to Downwind in Perth8:38 - Guy gets into foiling in 2013!116:29 - Emma Learns to Foil19:34 - What sparked this trip24:23 - Guys Olympic Campaign 31:11 - And the Travels Begin!48:04 - Travelling Dreams and Shark Stories54:50 - Crazy Northern Adventures\1:02:30 - 20 hour drive back down to Esperance1:07:10 - All the Gear!

Josh and James don't need much introduction. As the two biggest "dick swingers" of Code Foils as the Generic Foiling Podcast would call it, this podcast was hardly an interview but a chat on all our favourite topics of foilers. This was recorded before the start of WA race week, so as a bit of an update, the weed turned out to be not nearly as bad as we had expected, and made for some great racing. James was consistent as always, coming 1st or 2nd for each race only behind Kai Thompson. Josh and I managed to sneak in for a 3rd place each in the last two races of the week. Sit back, relax and enjoy this episode of The Foil Project.
