Rob Pirie in an OG foiler, started gaffer taping foils on SUP boards 4 years ago. Favorite quote from the episode is to be the best foiler in the world you have to ride the best gear. He tests everything and reports on Seabreeze forums where he's helping everyone get better and make good decisions. We dive into tons of gear talk, progression and other stuff only foilers would appreciate. But if you're foil brained, you're gonna love this one.
