Forums and Social Media:
Seabreeze: Excellent traffic in this forum and great discussions.
Instagram:
Dmitry Evseev: This guy seems to be constantly playing with new ideas around the parawing and deserves a follow from anyone who doesn't mind trying new ideas and pursuing kit functionality.
Keahi de Aboitiz: Legitimately the only rider who's style has impressed me across multiple water disciplines. The inspiration is the education here!
Bryan.Wouzel: My water and data based instagram page. Don't expect any radical on water footage, it's all pictures at the beach and commentary on gear testing or my sessions for the day.
Podcasts:
Spotify: The Generic Foiling Podcast: Freddy and Liam host the one podcast that I just keep coming back to.
YouTube:
@DamienLeroyYouTube: This is the page that Gwen Le Tutor and Damien Leroy run with their shop Wingfoil Pro Center. They do great educational breakdowns for a variety of foiling related movements and techniques here.
@gwen-letutor: Gwen is a high level rider and instructor who creates excellent content.
@BryanWouzel: My YouTube page. While I'm trying to get a few more ride clips this year, my channel is a little more about raw/open reflection on my experiences in the water.
Education and Independent Reviews:
Gwen and Damo: A youtube channel from a shop that has excellent educational content as well as the least biased gear reviews I've come across from a shop.
Foils I Ride:
AFS Foiling: The Silk foils are unrivaled if you are looking for the best carving experience. 650 in heroic swells 850 in waist/chest high and 1050 for everything else. I also picked up the Ultra 750 for unmatched glide that still has nice turns for when I just want to relax on a DW run.
My Boards:
Sunova: A wide range and customizable boards. I ride the Pilot, Pilot Mid, Carver, Aviator 18, and Revolution SUP.
Wings:
Ocean Rodeo: I've never ridden anything that came close to the Glide AA. The 3m is my all time favorite wing.
F-One: The strike v3 2m is my extreme wind option.
ParaWings:
Ozone: I do not have a ton of parawing testing experience. The Pocket Rocket goes upwind as I need it to and I'm happy with them early on in my progression.
Small Kit:
FCS Sup Ankle Leash: I like using a half coil leash that goes from board to waist.
Wing Leash: I use the manufacturer included wing leashes and attach them to my waist belt.
Artness Pro Harness Line: I've used a lot of different lines in the last few years and have settled in on this one for my larger wings or when I am under powered on a 3m. When it's really nuking I use a windsurfer harness loop on my 2-2.5m wings.
Windsurf Monoline: This is the only harness line I'll use when parawinging. I prefer the 18" model.
Impact Vest: I've been riding an old dakine for years but think I'm headed towards a system with integrated bladder for water consumption soon.
Oakley WTR ICON Helmet: I suffered some bad neck injuries winging with a helmet on when the water grabbed the helmet and cranked my head backwards. For a while, I wouldn't wear a helmet anymore. In 2025 I came across this model in a Kai Lenny surf video and grabbed one for myself. It has been wonderful. I completely forget it's on my head and never feel it when I crash. It's simply perfection.
Shops:
Poseidon Paddle and Surf: Phenomenal customer service and the friendliest shop I've ever dealt with. Their support of my adventures results in reviews that benefit us all.
