Episode #127 - Corey Efly Marlatt

Hey Cory. It's nice to see you brother.

Corey Marlatt (01:04.098)
Hmm.

Corey Marlatt (01:15.506)
Yeah, keep the governor away. Some valuable information. Yeah, it's good to see you, man. Yeah, that pants a cool U4 race.

Luc Moore (01:23.323)
Yeah, exactly. Where to meet for the first time? I think it was in Pensacola, right?

Luc Moore (01:33.239)
Yeah, you guys were shredding there and that was the first time I'd actually seen some high speed E foiling and pretty fun to watch.

Corey Marlatt (01:39.011)
Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that was actually my second race. So, local to home, so was only like 20 minutes away.

Luc Moore (01:45.841)
Really?

Luc Moore (01:51.091)
nice. That's such a beautiful part of the U.S. I hadn't been to Florida since I was about four or five. And I was just, it brought me back to how beautiful that was and how squeaky, cheesier sand is. And it was pretty cool stuff down there.

Corey Marlatt (01:57.987)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (02:04.11)
Yes, Yeah, I love the sand here. It's like, feels like powder when you walk on it. It's crazy. It makes little noises.

Luc Moore (02:13.657)
Yeah, it sounds exactly like good curd cheese. uncle is up in Quebec and if the curd cheese doesn't squeak like that sand, he throws it out. He said, no, this is too old. yeah.

Corey Marlatt (02:21.998)
That's funny. I got an aunt in Wisconsin and she talks highly about their cheese curds up there too. Yeah.

Luc Moore (02:31.322)
Really? Oh shit, I to try that actually. That's one thing that we're missing out here where I'm at right now is maple syrup. And I finally found some, but it was like, I don't know, 12 to 14 US for a small little container. And I was like, this is blasphemous, but I need some. I need some. It is gold. Did you grow up in the Pensacola area or where did you start your journey?

Corey Marlatt (02:35.255)
Yeah, it's...

Corey Marlatt (02:39.383)
Really?

Corey Marlatt (02:45.854)
boy. Yeah, it's gold.

Corey Marlatt (02:56.814)
So I actually grew up between Minnesota and Pensacola area when I was a child. So I kind grew up near the beach and then I kind of got into water sports that way, kiteboarding. then that's where I originally started with kiteboarding. So I've been on that for about 15 years. started when I was like 14 years old. So I was homeschooled.

Luc Moore (03:15.854)
really?

Corey Marlatt (03:22.67)
do a little bit of homeschool in the morning for like two hours, got it done, and then parents kick me out to the beach. Yeah, I lived right across the beach.

Luc Moore (03:33.39)
were you competing or why were you able to do that? Really?

Corey Marlatt (03:35.694)
No, just for fun. Yeah, just for fun. We grew up around the beach area, be exact, Gulf Shores, Alabama. It's like 20 minutes away from Pensacola. And all three of us kids were homeschooled. And we did it because the beach was right there. It was perfect. was sunny. Why be in school all day when you could be on the beach learning stuff, new things, new sports, having fun that way.

And I enjoyed it, so I'd just rather be homeschooled and do that for a couple hours and spend the rest of day on the beach till sunset. So it was fun.

Luc Moore (04:14.572)
Is this where, can you see my screen?

Corey Marlatt (04:18.853)
no, I cannot.

Luc Moore (04:20.696)
No, you cannot. Okay, so maybe I'm not sharing the right one. Here it is. Share this one. So is this golf shores?

Corey Marlatt (04:29.989)
It's loading.

Luc Moore (04:34.874)
So it's not too far from, well like it's in the bay right? So Panama City, Destin, Pensacola, Gulf Shores. Whoa man that looks like, yeah that looks like a beautiful spot. Huh.

Corey Marlatt (04:40.502)
Yep. Yeah, it's along the emerald gulf coast.

Corey Marlatt (04:47.476)
Yeah, golf shores, it was right near the hangout. it was like kiddy corner from the hangout. So it was absolutely beautiful out there. It didn't look near as perfect as like Destin, but it's still the beach. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

Luc Moore (04:56.761)
That would have been a-

Luc Moore (05:00.364)
Yeah, you're still close. So that's kind of a cool upbringing then and I guess a positive thing about homeschool, right? That you're actually able to get into some sports and some different activity lifestyle a bit different than being stuck inside all day.

Corey Marlatt (05:15.382)
Yeah, it's not like your typical school sport too either. You know, it's like a water sport. You really don't, you don't get that opportunity in school. Except for like nowadays you can go like canoeing or something in school or fishing. heard there's like classes for that. But I don't know. To be honest, like the kite boarding, just being able to like grow up around the water and have fun and learn new things that way, it attracts me more than just being stuck in school surrounded by walls.

Luc Moore (05:19.501)
Mm-hmm

Luc Moore (05:30.796)
Yeah, fair.

Luc Moore (05:45.816)
Yeah, that's fair, man. When's the first time you got a taste of e-foiling?

Corey Marlatt (05:47.949)
Yeah.

So it was about five years ago I have a daughter and that kind of like took away a lot of free time obviously so kiteboarding was so weather dependent and then sometimes I'd forget like one valuable piece of gear say like the harness or like the board or something or like the pump and I did that far too often and so it was like very frustrating.

Luc Moore (06:00.738)
Mm-hmm.

Luc Moore (06:11.916)
Yep.

Luc Moore (06:20.204)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (06:20.447)
So I kind of like, I had a friend that was a local dealer for all the kiteboarding gear. And he was a partner with Lyft actually. And I started riding a Lyft board with him. He was like, come over, I'll give you a free lesson. And he got me hooked right away. So.

Luc Moore (06:38.819)
I've heard a lot of people love Lyft. Next, I think AWSI, they're gonna most likely have some gear there, because I wanna get on one for the first time and test them out. Have you gotten to try other brands?

Corey Marlatt (06:48.65)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (06:52.045)
I've tried, I've been on a Weidoo, I tried, I saw, what is it, a Sci-Fly, been on that one, and I've tried Flight, and then I first started with Lift, so, I did try the Foil Drive, but that's, I wouldn't compare that, it's comparable to an E-Foil, but I'm not calling that an E-Foil, so, it has the same, know,

Luc Moore (07:13.484)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (07:17.197)
It does the same thing, it travels in the same direction. You get power, but it doesn't feel the same as the E-Foil. I tried several and so far, right now I ride with flight and I'm hooked with flight. Just like the ride is way better, car, the races, wouldn't be able to... Personally, I think I wouldn't be able to ride the way I ride without my flight board in the races.

Luc Moore (07:47.446)
Really?

Corey Marlatt (07:48.75)
I talk highly about it. Just like the options and everything you can swap up like the tail, the mini, you can shorten the tail basically the fuselage so you can actually take corners sharper and that sort of thing. You can't really do that with a lift board or a way-do or any of that stuff so you can shim it to the way you want to like ride perfectly. If you want to shim it correctly you can have more weight on the nose or the back depending on like how you're riding so.

Luc Moore (07:51.063)
Yeah, that's cool.

Corey Marlatt (08:17.389)
If you're riding in the waves you want more weight on the back of the board. If you're riding fast you want more weight on the nose of the board to keep it down so you can go as fast as possible. Different options, it's pretty cool I think. It's pretty neat how you can adjust and fine tune your ride.

Luc Moore (08:35.298)
Yeah, Justin was talking about that a little bit. so obviously let's go check out Flight right now to see what kind of option they have for their foils. But based on the conditions, are you swapping up front wing as well?

Corey Marlatt (08:41.762)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (08:50.221)
Yeah, for any type of riding, I have three favorite wings. Super hard carving probably for like what I used in Dubai on the race. I used the Flow 900 and that just it's a really loose wing, really high speed wing as well. And you can get those tips of the wings out of the water several inches and you can just carve super hard. And then

Luc Moore (08:51.391)
Yeah? Okay.

Luc Moore (09:16.321)
this one right here.

Corey Marlatt (09:18.411)
Yup, the Flow 900 conical. So it's a, I love that wing. And then the second one is going to be the 707 flux wing. On this page you can probably find the 1000 wave. That's my preferred wave wing.

Luc Moore (09:41.088)
here is the thousand wave

Corey Marlatt (09:42.638)
Yep. Yep. So I wrote that down in Turks when we were surfing behind the wakeboat at like 14 miles an hour. So, you know, a little bit bigger, a little bit bigger of a wing than the 900. As you can tell, like the shape too, it's more like a crescent of a moon. And then the other one has like, so it looks more like a manta ray almost, like the style of the wing.

Luc Moore (09:51.788)
all right.

Luc Moore (10:02.615)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (10:11.895)
and that sort of thing. See how the difference is? Yup. And it's got a little bit smaller of a surface area too on the 900 versus the 1000. And then if you go up into the Flight Lab, up in the corner, the black tab right there, right hand corner, yup. On that one is gonna be the Flux Wings. So these are newer wings that came out with the Flight Lab and these are more targeted for like wave riding specifically.

Luc Moore (10:12.192)
Yeah, this one's a lot. big time. It's a little bit, yeah, definitely different. Okay.

Luc Moore (10:29.01)
Mm-hmm.

Luc Moore (10:41.686)
Okay.

Corey Marlatt (10:41.869)
And the 707 is, I think, so far my favorite wing. I can wave ride with my Foldy prop on like three to four foot rollers with this thing. And here in Pensacola, that's what we get consistently. There's every once in a while we get a good storm, push it in 10 foot swell, but it's a little, the currents rip and then. So like the 707 is perfect, high speeds as well.

I'd say the 707 is my favorite.

Luc Moore (11:16.414)
Now you were talking about foldable eProp. What's that, sorry? Maybe I can look that up too.

Corey Marlatt (11:20.927)
Yeah, the folding prop. So the folding prop allows you to basically under power and you can basically ride into a wave, let the wave take you and you're gonna ride the momentum of the wave and you can let off your power on the controller. You can just release the throttle basically and that prop actually collapse fully backwards. So then it has

Luc Moore (11:42.847)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (11:49.821)
So it has basically no drag at all and you just let the wave take you. And now if you were to have like a regular prop on there or like the jet, you know, you're going to have a little bit more drag and more resistance. But this allows you to like flow perfectly and you feel the difference. If you were to have like a regular prop on there versus the Foldy, you can feel like the prop, standard prop kind of wants to turn a little bit and you can feel it with versus like the Foldy.

Luc Moore (12:09.267)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (12:18.568)
it's open and then it closes and then if you actually feel nothing, it's my favorite prop I'd say if I wave ride. That's my go-to. So I always take it wherever I go. I took it down to Turks and Caicos just last week with me and Justin and I were able to ride the surf out there. Surprisingly, Turks and Caicos...

from what I've seen does not get waves. And me traveling everywhere, usually take a set up just in case. And I took the Foldy Prop and I took all three of those wings. And there was a front that came down from the US. And the US actually got like a freeze. Basically it snowed throughout the whole US. Florida actually got, I felt 19 degrees here.

Luc Moore (12:49.78)
Mm-hmm

Corey Marlatt (13:14.284)
Justin saw like 22 degrees down in Naples and Dougie down in Turks and Caicos, was like Sunday morning, he was like, how's the cold weather? We were like, we're freezing. So he had us come down to Turks with him. But that storm that came down pushed some massive swell. And this is the biggest swell I've ever ridden in. I actually got swept under a couple of waves.

Luc Moore (13:14.46)
yeah.

Luc Moore (13:18.942)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (13:42.861)
took out by the whitewash. was scary, but the face of them was consistently about 15 to 20. There was sometime 25 foot waves. The face of them were 25 foot waves. There was three days consistently that we went out every single day. it was, I think it was like Friday, Saturday, Sunday. And then Friday, we just like experimented with it. We were like, let's send it. We went out there, had like the time of our life.

Luc Moore (13:45.63)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (14:11.92)
and no one was filming, we didn't have any cameras. The second day we tried having a drone guy come out there and it ended up being so gnarly that the winds were cooking like 35 knots, he couldn't even get the drone up, the boat was rocking back and forth, getting tossed around by like four to five foot waves on the inside of the reef. On the outside of the reef, it was crazy. It was very hectic.

Luc Moore (14:34.366)
Whoa.

Corey Marlatt (14:39.668)
And then the third day, kind of like died down a little bit, but we were able to get a drone guy out there, but the footage did absolutely no justice. yeah. Yes, it's very hard seeing the waves in person. They're massive. I kid you not. It was seeing Justin on top of the swell. I just see this little figure on the top and he's like cruising down. He's got a helmet on and he's like just

Luc Moore (14:49.778)
Yeah, it's hard to get perspective,

Luc Moore (15:00.562)
Yeah

Corey Marlatt (15:08.19)
in that stance of like going 40 miles an hour. And it was the funniest thing ever. It was a memory of a lifetime. That was for sure. An experience as well. Like I said, I've never been in a swell that big and me and Justin were just living it up. Yes, that was on our E-Foils. He had his race board, basically an L2 and a race board with the Jet 2.

Luc Moore (15:18.9)
man.

Luc Moore (15:25.684)
And that was eFoil 2.

Corey Marlatt (15:37.964)
And then I had my L2 with the Foldy prop on there. So, and I was running the, I think we were both running the 707s for the wings. Yep. So, and that is like a high speed wing. So, I think the fastest unpowered wave that I rode personally, I don't know about Justin, but it was a 28.5 miles an hour unpowered.

Luc Moore (16:03.86)
Jesus, lad. Let me do some math. Let me do some math here. 28.5 times 1.6, 45 clicks. Jesus. We're getting, that's close to 50 kilometers an hour, man. That's cooking.

Corey Marlatt (16:05.749)
Yeah, that's fast.

Corey Marlatt (16:16.192)
Yeah. Yeah, it is cooking. Yeah, yeah, there was a couple of times I got like, we were going down the face of the wave so fast and like, we saw it like starting to break and we just had to jump off the back of the wave. It's so gnarly. I had a full face helmet on the whole time just feels like we're basically we were surfing and the cut and the cut was in between the reef.

Basically in the reef was with the waves, I think we would have been safe because of how much swell basically the water was pushing up onto the reef. I think we would have been safe, but if it was like a really calm day, usually you can actually see the reef on the surface of the water. So it does get pretty shallow. It's sketchy. So I personally, I wanted to wear a face helmet just to be safe as I always do now, cause I've seen some gnarly crashes.

Luc Moore (17:02.802)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (17:15.276)
and that sort of thing. it's just, it was adrenaline rushing. And then it was so crazy. I got a little bit of footage, but none of the footage does any justice to what we saw in person. It was absolutely insane.

Luc Moore (17:33.458)
Were you guys leashed to the boards or is it all free? You were, you were, okay.

Corey Marlatt (17:34.06)
Yeah, no, definitely had surf leashes. just in case, just in case it flew off, you know, then we were protected and we could get back to the board in time. When I did get swept under and that was the first thing I went to go grab for it was just in case like the Velcro ripped off my leg. I had that like a leash in my hand just in case because it was, think, I don't know if you saw on, I posted a video on Instagram.

Luc Moore (17:40.689)
Okay. Yeah.

Luc Moore (17:55.842)
yeah.

Corey Marlatt (18:03.616)
wiped out.

Luc Moore (18:06.547)
Let's go over and see that.

Corey Marlatt (18:07.211)
It was gnarly.

you

Luc Moore (18:13.778)
All right, Mr. Dot E fly zero two. Let's see here. Was it? Let's share our screen.

Corey Marlatt (18:17.94)
Yes.

Luc Moore (18:23.89)
Can you see this?

Corey Marlatt (18:25.513)
Yeah. Yeah, the one that your cursor was just on. No. No, next one. Yep. Yep.

Luc Moore (18:26.576)
Alright, which video is it?

Luc Moore (18:31.484)
This one, yeah? All right, nope. This one? All right. Let's watch this thing. For people on audio, we're just checking out Corey's Instagram here. Checking out this video.

Corey Marlatt (18:43.723)
and you can see me toss down my remote and fully unpowered and that's probably where I went wrong. I should have kept it in my hand just in case I needed power up but...

Luc Moore (18:48.238)
yes.

Luc Moore (18:55.221)
yeah, I see what you're saying. It's good white water wash,

Corey Marlatt (19:00.083)
Yeah, it was was gnarly. I cut the video down and edited down just a little bit, but I was I think I was underwater for like eight seconds and eight seconds felt like a lifetime. So. Yeah. Yeah, I had the Insta360 and I had the GoPro ready to go. But as soon as that second wave got like took me over, I was like, man.

Luc Moore (19:13.116)
Oh yeah, you see your face? You're like, mother of God, get me out of here.

Corey Marlatt (19:28.779)
please don't be a third. And of course I saw the third one coming by and I just like high tailed it, stayed on my knees and I was like, this is the safest route, just like send it, get out of here.

Luc Moore (19:30.66)
Yeah, yeah.

Luc Moore (19:40.401)
Yeah, because you were you weren't could you have like kept in front of it if you had kept the remote and powered up?

Corey Marlatt (19:46.092)
I probably could have, I for sure could have, but the wave just, it was so fast. It just basically outran me basically. and if I like, like I said, I let down the controller and I'd be like, that's where I could have not messed up and just had actual power ready to go when I needed to power up. So.

Luc Moore (19:49.585)
Okay.

Yeah, okay.

Corey Marlatt (20:10.411)
been riding on gear 20 lately and man it's a world of a difference when you can actually have some power underneath you and get you out of sketchy situations.

Luc Moore (20:19.953)
So can you explain that for some of us that are just getting into e-fone? This is some of your trip, right, that you guys are on right here? It's more of a...

Corey Marlatt (20:27.179)
Yeah, so this was down in Turks. So when you ride on gear 20, gear 20 is like the max gear that you can set your controller on to go the fastest. I've hit like 28 miles an hour on gear 20, just in with the Jet 2 and the race impeller. He's actually hit 34, 35. It's just a little bit better technology on the impeller. It's partnered with Mercury Design.

So they actually did a lot of work on the impeller itself. And so when you ride on gear 20, you're just hauling tail no matter where. And then if you're only gear one or gear two, sometimes if I want to chill ride, I start on gear five or six. And you're cruising around like 14 miles an hour. It's not that fast, but it's a very comfortable speed. Say if you're on the scooter, you don't really exceed past 18 miles an hour.

Um, so it's, it's a very relaxed ride. Um, but if you need to get out of a sketchy situation, say like the waves, the waves were cruising, I'd say 25 miles an hour, I'd say. Um, and I was on non power, you know, unpowered with the, uh, no power basically cruising probably about 20, 22, 23. And then it obviously the wave builds up more momentum.

and it builds more speed and when it like starts to roll the whitewash goes over essentially breaking. Sometimes it can just like sweep you up underneath and if you're on gear 20 you can just send the power and just get out of there if you need to. That's one thing that I could have not done is release the remote just to make it look basically like I was unpowered fully and that's kind of what you do to show people that you're riding unpowered.

Luc Moore (22:21.432)
Yeah.

Luc Moore (22:26.64)
So this is the race impeller. Okay. But this is for the jet. Okay.

Corey Marlatt (22:26.923)
Yeah, here's that right prop. Yep. So this is only for the Jet 2. Correct. So it's technically an impeller, not a propeller. So this is that they actually did some... a flight was bought out by Brunswick. Brunswick owns Mercury. And Mercury is a motor, boat motor, essentially. No one knows what Mercury is.

And they have obviously a lot of technology and knowledge on props and etc and all that stuff. So they actually partnered with essentially flight and they produced a impeller that was designed by their team to improve the speed and they were able to they were able to actually improve the speed by about four to five miles an hour before this impeller that

the jet too was able to hit about 29, 30 miles an hour. So it definitely did add a significant amount of speed to it. Five miles an hour is a big difference, I'd say, especially on water. Because if you hit that water going that fast, mean, you're going to feel it. It's not like hitting a cloud of, I don't know, cloud of pillows or something. It's not a soft hit.

Luc Moore (23:37.539)
Yeah, big time.

Luc Moore (23:44.163)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (23:52.267)
going that speed can feel like glass or concrete sometimes so Especially if you like fall off in front of the board no matter the efoil all efoils Essentially work in the same dynamic if you fall off in front of the efoil you run the risk of the mask hitting you or the wing or the board So there's always a risk going that fast if you don't feel comfortable. I would say don't try it

Luc Moore (24:12.761)
Mm-hmm

Corey Marlatt (24:18.908)
But you can always work your way up to gaining the confidence and the experience to be able to go that fast.

Luc Moore (24:27.159)
Yeah, you guys are starting to ride like motocross or mountain bike accessories, right? Like chest and that kind of thing.

Corey Marlatt (24:34.928)
Yeah, yeah. So Justin actually wears a full chest plate. I haven't gotten that far yet. But there's been a couple, there's been a couple of situations where I do wish I had something hard to protect. Like say like certain area of my lat, I got hit right here in the back with the mast. And I feel like if I had something right there, you know, it would have saved me a little bit. But we're wearing full face mountain bike helmets.

Luc Moore (24:53.45)
shit. Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (25:03.914)
That's just for safety, know, it comes across your jaw protects your face your mouth and everything The moneymaker basically, you know, everyone looks at your mouth your face. And so, know if you get tore up by something pretty bad It's not gonna be as attractive So Yes lately, you know, I've had a couple situations like when I was down in Turks I tried doing a backflip on my efoil sitting down this

Luc Moore (25:15.823)
true.

Corey Marlatt (25:32.93)
being a hooligan and I fully rotated, landed on my back, the board came down. Basically the board went sideways and I got hit in the side of the head with the helmet, of course I was wearing it. And it put a gnarly scratch in the side of the helmet, probably about three inches. And there was an indent on the helmet too. So if I wasn't wearing the helmet, it would have hit me right here. And that would have been, the trip would have ended right there for me.

Luc Moore (25:35.245)
Yep.

Corey Marlatt (26:02.634)
I think that was like day three.

Luc Moore (26:03.256)
Yeah.

Well, there's a lot more weight to them, right? Than a standard like foil wing foil board with foil. Cause that whole kit might weigh, I don't know. Like you can carry it super easy in your hands, but these things are a little bit heavier. So they have more.

Corey Marlatt (26:09.29)
Yeah.

Yeah, yep.

Depends.

Corey Marlatt (26:18.92)
Yeah, like I say, an E-Foil standard, if you don't have the lightest E-Foil, like the Ultra L2 with a Nano, that exact setup weighs about 42 pounds. Most board setups probably weigh around 55 to 60 depending on the battery that you have. And then, like a standard non-powered foil only weighs 15 pounds, if that. So it's a huge difference, especially when you're falling onto it or it's falling onto you.

Luc Moore (26:48.418)
Yeah, that's fair. Would you, like I know we talked about prop versus jet. Is there a massive difference between the two? If somebody doesn't have a board yet, would you steer them in one direction?

Corey Marlatt (26:50.504)
Yeah.

the only way I would steer someone in a certain direction, say with like the jet, is a big thing is like a key safety thing. A lot of people get in their heads a lot and they overthink the prop. and they think they're like somehow they're going to get their hands stuck down there or like their toes or something. And yes, you know, that's standard procedure. Everyone thinks of the worst. and they always think how could this happen or like what if, you know,

And if you just want to cut out all liability the jet too is you know your perfect setup There's no possible way for you to absolutely stick anything in there. The only thing that would possibly go through would be like Say like seaweed or something, but then sometimes you got to clean it out every once in a while, but it's no big issue so Now if you're like targeting waves Obviously, that's a different. You know you got to use a different setup than a jet preferably like a

I ride personally like the Foldy Prop with no shroud cover. So if you take the shroud cover off that comes factory on all the e-foils. Basically it creates less drag and it has, you can put a pro cover on there, pro tail cover and it basically you know takes a spot where that shroud sits on there and then you can still run your factory prop, your Foldy Prop or your True Glide if you have a flight board. And that's what I have. like my

Luc Moore (28:06.636)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (28:30.698)
folding prop and then I can just put my standard 3 fan prop that comes factory with them if I were to like race or something so I actually got a jet 2 on the way soon so I will be riding a jet 2 in a little bit

Luc Moore (28:45.301)
All right, okay, so you can test that out because like you were saying in Turks, you guys are both riding. So, cause I think in Canada you have to ride a jet. Would there be anything negative that you would say about that in the waves?

Corey Marlatt (28:47.079)
Yeah. Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (28:55.273)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (29:00.638)
I wouldn't say there's obviously there's just a little bit more drag because of like the surface area, you know, that's down there underneath the water So there's just a little bit more drag not much But you can still fully release off the power if you were to want to ride waves Justin was fully off the controller at You know several times that we were out there there was a couple of times where you have to stay on the power because

Luc Moore (29:06.621)
alright. Okay.

Corey Marlatt (29:27.13)
you're not going fast enough or it's just you have to get in that right spot on that wave you know. You don't want to be too high or you don't want to be too low you just want to be perfectly like in the middle of that wave so it like drives you basically. So sometimes you got to get you know power to get into that area and then once you're in that area you can let off the power most of the time so. The big thing is obviously with the jet if you if you breach the surface of the water with the jet

Luc Moore (29:32.448)
Hmm.

Corey Marlatt (29:56.786)
obviously you're sucking in air and you know that the impeller is not going to drive you anywhere if it's just pushing air so you can't you cannot like breach the surface as much versus like the three fan prop or like the foldy obviously if you wing breach with like those the foldy will still have the momentum to keep it open and it still pushes you the same with the three fan prop you know that's

Luc Moore (29:59.404)
Mm-hmm.

Corey Marlatt (30:24.073)
That one stays all obviously all the time open. So that one just keeps driving you as well So there is a difference a little bit and you can feel it, but you kind of learn that sweet spot where not to go And it's almost like just riding a bicycle at some points So very repetitive so

Luc Moore (30:36.458)
Alright.

Luc Moore (30:40.668)
cool, okay. What were you guys doing in Turks? Is there some fun retreats or something else coming our way?

Corey Marlatt (30:50.343)
Yeah, yeah. So we actually got a Turks and Caicos E-Foil Retreat. It's going be hosted down there with foil Turks and Caicos. Justin and I will be coaching it. And it's September 27th to October 4th. And anyone is welcome with E-Foil, no matter the brand. We want to welcome everyone. So we got 10 slots available. So first come, first serve gets it.

And then we're just basically setting it up, going through planning and organizing and everything. And then we were also doing essentially photo shoots just to get some nice content and that sort of thing so we can post for it and that sort of stuff. So we had some drones out there getting some good shots and everything. just action-filled planning and water sports. So, yeah.

Luc Moore (31:45.612)
Oh, nice man. Yeah, that'll be pretty fun. It looks like a beautiful area. I haven't been to that island, those islands yet, but here, let me show you quickly on here. But yeah, it looks pretty nice.

Corey Marlatt (31:55.772)
Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (31:59.515)
Yeah, Turks and Caicos is absolutely beautiful.

Luc Moore (32:02.741)
Yeah, was that your first time there?

Corey Marlatt (32:05.13)
So this is actually a different one, a different brand. Yep. So we want to do foil, Turks and Caicos. Yep. There we go.

Luc Moore (32:08.888)
it is? Okay.

Corey Marlatt (32:19.955)
So yeah, these guys, Foil, Turks and Cake, those are the guys who will be hosting it. This is that little house right here. This is a villa, basically. This is Doggie's place, where basically he's going to be hosted. We have access to the canal right there. It's perfect. You just go right off that dock. And it's optimal. I'd say the best location. You can go from flat water to canal waters that have no current.

Luc Moore (32:20.075)
Yeah, warm water.

Luc Moore (32:32.106)
Whoa.

Luc Moore (32:37.546)
Whoa.

Corey Marlatt (32:49.521)
out past the reef where you can get some good swells. It's a prime location I'd say. Any type of water sport you want to do, can do it there. Kiteboarding, barefooting, lake surfing, foil surfing. It's amazing out there.

Luc Moore (32:54.026)
Sick.

Luc Moore (33:11.263)
Nice man. Well, hey Corey, thanks for coming on and chatting with us. And it was nice to see you again. It'd been a while.

Corey Marlatt (33:16.445)
Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Hopefully we'll see you soon. Are you coming to any of the races here in the US?

Luc Moore (33:21.161)
Yeah man, it would be fun to get out to one of these.

Luc Moore (33:26.025)
It would be nice to be able to do that. I got to get my hand on a board and then it would be nice to do some SFT stuff this year. Cause it just looks super fun. And it's something, especially for us up in up North, spend my summer on Vancouver Island. And when it's not windy, it would be fun to go exploring with an E-foil. So I think that's, we're going to add that to the repertoire of toys. Yeah.

Corey Marlatt (33:32.498)
Yes.

Corey Marlatt (33:46.857)
Okay, I'm gonna get you a L2, L3.

Luc Moore (33:51.787)
Yeah, anything like that would be super fun. Well, hey, man, let's catch up soon. yeah, don't know. Thanks for coming on again.

Corey Marlatt (33:53.385)
Yeah. Yes.

Corey Marlatt (34:03.805)
Yes, thanks for having me on here. It was a fun pleasure talking with you and having me on the show.

Luc Moore (34:10.313)
All right, everybody, we'll see you in the next one.

Corey Marlatt (34:13.982)
Thank you.
