Why are we doing this?

The push for efficiency was always there. It started at a young age soaking up images of kite-powered foiling boats tearing across Weymouth Harbour. Later came a run-in with a VERY early and mostly lethal windsurfing foil. Things got faster and more efficient and we committed to every development over the crazy years during which windsurfing just blew up. Kitesurfing was an obvious next step but while the kites changed everything in terms of going places, board efficiency took a step backwards. It was an unseen direction that the bought the solution: the Americas Cup. The trickle down from this billion dollar yacht race hit all parts of water sports. It has now influenced most ways of moving around on the water and for us foiling kitesurfing became an addiction.

Next came the chance to test eFoiling. We were amazed at how intuitive the Lift eFoil was to use, how this experience could open the door to all types of foiling. It is responsible transport. It promises years of skills progression and fun. It is completely involving and we became desperate to share it with others. FoilRide was born.

While we continue to spearhead efoiling in North Wales our thirst for greater things in all aspects of foiling has been growing! this has lead to the creation of The Slack Tide Foil Club.

Slack Tide Foil Club is a hub for all things foiling.  From buying foil gear delivered to your door to joining an overseas foil odyssey, or from learning to wing foil in North Wales to learning to prone foil in North Devon. STFC is the UK hub for all foiling aspirations for those looking for excellence.

Our foiling horizon is ever expanding. Come and join the ride...
