In this episode of the FOILERS Podcast, I sit down with Keith Teboul from KT Foiling, one of the most respected shapers and designers in watersports.

From growing up around the ocean in Madagascar, discovering windsurfing in the Caribbean, shaping boards in Maui, and working with some of the best riders in the world, Keith has spent decades refining the connection between rider, board and ocean.

We dive deep into the design philosophy behind KT Foiling and explore how Keith takes feedback from elite riders and turns it into boards that work for everyday foilers.

Keith shares insights into:

• His journey from surfing and windsurfing into foiling
• The early days of shaping and building high-performance boards
• Working with riders including Kane De Wilde and Kai Lenny
• Why Maui is the ultimate testing ground for foiling gear
• The design evolution behind the KT Super K, Drifter and ARC boards
• Why longer and narrower boards are changing foiling
• Designing boards for winging, prone, Foil Drive and parawinging
• Why Keith believes parawinging is the future of downwinding
• How foils are changing what is possible in board design
• The importance of stance, subtle movements and technique

Keith also explains why the future of foiling is so exciting — with gear becoming easier, more accessible and opening the sport up to more people than ever before.

Whether you’re into wing foiling, prone foiling, downwinding, Foil Drive or just fascinated by the evolution of foil board design, this conversation provides a rare insight into the mind behind KT Foiling. Enjoy

In Part 2 of my conversation with Greg Falck from Omen Foils, we dive deep into the details that can completely change how your foil feels and performs.

Greg also shares the thinking behind Omen’s Agent foil range and why they’ve focused on refining one aspect ratio rather than chasing endless options. We explore how designing for everyday passionate foilers — not just elite athletes — changes the approach to performance, glide, control, and connection.

We also get into one of the most overlooked areas in foiling: tuning your setup. Greg explains how small changes like mast position, base plate shims, stabiliser shims and understanding front foot pressure can unlock performance you may already have — without constantly buying new gear.

Greg also shares what foiling means to him — from problem-solving and creativity to those rare sessions where everything clicks and you’re simply connected with the ocean.

If you’re interested in improving your foil setup, understanding your equipment better, or simply getting more enjoyment from your time on the water, this episode is packed with insights.

Greg Falck from Omen Foils joins the FOILERS Podcast for an in-depth conversation about the thinking, engineering and testing that goes into creating high-performance foiling equipment.

In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we explore Greg’s journey from mechanical engineering and working with advanced composite materials at Aluula through to launching Omen Foils, and why he felt there was an opportunity to create gear designed specifically for passionate everyday riders pushing their progression.

We discuss:

• The origins of Omen Foils and the gap Greg saw in the market
• Why “performance” means different things for pro riders versus everyday foilers
• Balancing engineering, computer modelling and rider feel
• Why Omen has chosen a focused product range rather than chasing every category
• The design philosophy behind the Flux V2 and Emissary boards
• Board volume, width, hull efficiency and why bigger is not always better
• How board design changes for winging, prone, parawing and Foil Drive

In Part 2, we dive deeper into the Omen foil range, foil tuning, setup mistakes, baseplate and tail shimming, and Greg’s tips for getting the absolute best performance from your gear.

A great conversation for anyone interested in not just what gear works — but why it works.
