This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we sit down with the newly crowned 2025 E-Foil Surf Foil World Tour (SFT) World Champion – the undefeated e-foil racer who took the title in the season finale in Abu Dhabi.Fresh off dominating the inaugural SFT season, the Florida-based ripper (and Flightboard early adopter) joins us to break down what it actually feels like to turn a five-year hunch into a world championship, how e-foil racing went from “nice idea” to a full-blown global tour in record time, and why this sport is exploding faster than anyone predicted.We go deep on:- From kite-smash accidents to building one of the first e-foil schools in South Florida  - The wild Atlanta Foil Fest Enduro with Brian Grubb, Nick Leeson, and 20 riders dodging submerged trees at full throttle  - Unsanctioned full-send dawn patrols through Amsterdam’s canals (don’t try this at home)  - Gear geek-out: custom shims, chopped tails, 900 Flow vs 707 Flux wings, aftermarket race props, and why everything is still basically stock… for now  - Why full-face helmets and downhill MTB armor are becoming mandatory at 33–35 mph  - Mental warfare on the beach, prop-wash tactics, hot launches, and pulling 3+G turns  - Traveling the world with boards but no batteries (and how the Flightboard rental network saves the day)  - The massive progression from the first dealer races in 2022 to riders now training full-time and closing the gap second by second  - Where e-foil racing is headed: open-ocean courses, city canal sprints, Everglades gator-chasing, and boards that will eventually hit 50 mph  Year one of the Surf Foil World Tour is in the books, prize money is real, brands are paying attention, and the level is skyrocketing. The champ gives us the unfiltered look at what it took to stay on top — and why 2026 is about to get even crazier.If you’ve ever wondered what the cutting edge of foiling actually looks, sounds, and feels like… this is it.Follow the Surf Foil Tour → https://www.surffoilworldtour.com Justin Chait → https://www.instagram.com/_justinchait_/
