SUP Foiling

Stand-up paddle foiling — paddling to catch a bump or wave and then flying, the paddle-up skill that underpins Downwind foiling. Liam tries it for the first time in Ireland (Ep 8) and the hosts work on flat-water paddle-ups through the later episodes (Ep 108, Ep 112).

• Closely tied to Downwind Boards and the Downwind discipline; the ongoing SUP-vs-Parawing debate frames much of the 2025 catalogue (Ep 109).
• Coaching reference: James Casey (Ep 17) and Voyager Foiling (Ep 96).
