Great Southern Foil Fest 2026: Marty on Bringing Foilers Together
What happens when a casual catch-up with a few foiling mates grows into a four-day festival?
In this episode of the FOILERS Podcast, Pete chats with Marty, event director of the Great Southern Foil Fest and one of the people behind the new Western Australia Foil Association (WAFA).
Returning to Denmark, Western Australia, from 15–18 October 2026, the festival brings together competition, gear demos, social foiling and a whole lot of froth—with more than $16,000 in prizes up for grabs.
Marty shares his journey from surfing and kitesurfing to prone foiling, what he learnt from organising the inaugural festival last year and what’s planned for this year. We discuss prone, foil assist and tow foiling, opportunities for downwinding, and why you don’t need to compete to get plenty out of the weekend.
We also explore how WAFA came together, why membership matters, and how local events can help riders progress, build friendships and grow the sport.
Whether you’re an experienced foiler, finding your feet or simply curious, this is a great introduction to a great bunch of people who are bringing the foiling community together.

Keith Teboul | KT FOILING : The Art of Designing Foiling Gear & Why Foiling Is Just Getting Started
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
