The Casey Catch Up

I've admired Mizo's foiling for the best part of 5 years, to get him on the podcast was awesome. He is a passionate downwind foiler, just does not always get the conditions, hence why we always see him surf foiling. We break down what it takes to learn to downwind foil, hear a few epic adventures that Mizo has embarked upon and discuss injuries and how they help us grow as a person. It was a pleas...

Fred is a truly inspirational character and one who is passionate about downwind foiling. From sailing as a kid to becoming a windsurf legend and SUP pioneer it is what he has overcome that is truly inspiring. Nearly losing his leg in a horrible car crash was a watershed moment for Fred. He turned to event organising to help keep him busy whilst his body healed and has organised some of the best d...

A great catch up with Nick Kapule, getting to know how he got into foiling a bit of insight into his training and upcoming Hawaii Race Season. Of course we went into his big win at the Sydney Downwind Foil Race plus we went into his plans for the rest of 2025. Listen along and froth out on the downwind foil chat. If you want more downwind foil chat check out the Coach Casey Club where we chat ever...

This podcast has been a long time coming. I've always had a lot of respect for Edo. A good kid who is passionate and dedicated to hone his downwind foiling. He joined the Coach Casey Club in early 2023 to hone his paddle up and downwind foil technique, by the time I met him in person he was a force to be reckoned with. In this podcast we go through Edo's background, starting in Italy and now in Ha...

We need more women in our sport of downwind foiling and Fiona is one of those women leading the charge. Fresh off a 2nd place finish at Molokai 2 Oahu Fiona is excited about the future of downwind foiling coming from SUP Racing and Wing Foil Racing background. In this podcast we go into how Fiona got into downwind foiling and the locations she learnt, debrief her weekend of racing in Hawaii and di...

After a busy 2 weeks over in Hawaii with the majority of the downwind foiling world it'd be rude not to debrief on what was an exciting time over in Hawaii. Unfortunately Josh couldn't make it to the races so he was keen to pick my brain and we thought it'd be worth recording it as a Casey Catch Up episode. Hope you enjoy and get an insight into how the sport of downwind foiling is growing at a ra...

My thoughts for the week.

A great catch up with a true waterman, Hobey Moss. We go into details on how he got into ocean sports and a bit of detail into his learn to foil journey. We then get into the monumental Maui to Molokai to Oahu voyage he and Jack Ho did. Details on safety equipment, foiling equipment and much, much more. If you enjoy these podcasts reach out and let me know. If you want more foiling content check o...

A great chat with Jon Mann going into detail on the Barcelona race but also how he got into downwind foiling, the safety aspect of our sport, what lies ahead for him and where the future of the sport is going. All in all a fun one, thanks Jon for coming on! If you enjoy this content and are looking to get into downwind foiling I would love to see you join the Coach Casey Club to help you accelerat...

I catch up with Xavi and discuss the upcoming event in Barcelona and get to know the downwind scene in Spain. Xavi tells us how he got into foiling and how the local scene has grown. I'll be recording another podcast debriefing how the event goes. Fingers crossed they get good conditions but also it sounds like it won't matter too much, a race will be run. For more info on downwind foiling check o...

This week I give a quick rundown of the Molokai 2 Oahu Start List and why this will be the most competitive Foil Race to date. I've done a bunch of previous episodes that are all on my Youtube but I'm going to start uploading the new on...

After a bit of a break The Casey Catch Up is back. Josh Ku, Zane Westwood and Oskar Johanson join me for a debrief on Australia's largest ever foil only downwind race. We go through the difficulties in getting it organised, the conditions, the course, the competition and the equipment we all use. For me personally this was downwind foiling coming of age here in Australia. It gets me super excited...

Doni answered the last minute call to head to Rottnest and he and James manage to score some fun conditions. A little visit by an old friend 'seaweed', a quick bite to eat and they are back in Perth before lunchtime. A fun adventure and a great comparison of the 770R and 850S. SIt back and listen to the chat they have on the ferry ride home.

I asked Lukas to come on the podcast as he has a bit of a different story compared to others I have had on. He is from Germany and learnt to foil in a river using a bungee. He has since progressed to winging and now downwind foiling utilising big foils and the lakes in his local area. It was a pleasure to dive into his foiling journey and he even flipped the questions onto me at the end. Lukas is...

Molokai 2 Oahu has been run and done for 2023 so I managed to get the podium together to discuss the race. Some great insights from Oskar and Edo and all in all I was stoked to be able to go through the race from each of our perspectives. It's a long chat but it really gives you some insight into M2O and downwind month. Stoked to battle with fellow Aussie, Oskar, and know that the conditions we tr...

Kai was kind enough to invite me over to his place to talk downwind foil. We delve into how he got into downwind foiling, the evolution of the sport and what an incredible race M2M was, mainly due to the numbers on the start line. Filmed by Josh Ku if you want to go check out the YouTube
