Episode #137-Foil4All Event with Carl and Agustin

On this episode of the Foil Life Podcast, Luc Moore chats with Carl from The Launch Pad Windsurf Academy and Agustin from WeCANFoil about the incredible third annual FOIL4All event in Halifax.

The trio breaks down the week-long celebration of foiling that brought together public demos, community programs, women’s clinics, high-performance camps, and Sail GP excitement. Carl and Agustin share stories from coaching complete beginners (including a memorable walk-up participant from India), working with underrepresented communities, elite sailors, and pro athletes, all while highlighting the power of accessible foiling experiences.

They dive into the perfect downtown Halifax waterfront setup at the new boat school, the challenges and joys of cold-water foiling, the electric atmosphere around Sail GP races, testing cutting-edge gear like the new Starboard X15 one-design wing foil kit, and the growing network of WeCANFoil hubs across Canada.
