Charlie shares his roots growing up on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka, Ontario—working at the local ski school as a kid, buying it in 2006 with his family, and expanding into marinas, ski shows, and eventually eFoiling. A fellow Canadian (with stints living in Australia for years, performing at SeaWorld, and traveling globally for shows), he recounts how sit-down hydrofoiling became his gateway to the foil world 20+ years ago, leading to Guinness World Records (including 28 hydrofoils behind one boat and 10 simultaneous backflips), and earning him the 2024 IWWF Male Show Skier of the Year award.
They dive into the explosion of eFoiling in Canada’s cottage country—flat-water cruising on the Muskoka lakes (Lake Rosseau, Lake Joseph, Lake Muskoka), why jet-powered boards like Fliteboard are essential due to Canadian regulations prohibiting exposed propellers (with tips on staying legal, wearing life jackets, and riding respectfully), and how eFoils have become a game-changer for ski schools by keeping more people on the water longer.
