Foil Drive Podcast | Ep 04 | Victor Harris

Paul and Ben chat to Victor Harris – a self-professed Foil Drive enthusiast and a Dubai local. During a short stint in Australia, spending his days mastering the art of foiling in the picturesque Ballina, NSW, Victor decided to take a detour to Adelaide to spend a day with the boys. With his vibrant involvement in the Foil Drive community, he's been a true trailblazer, fearlessly pushing the limits of small boards in tranquil waters. From conquering a 15-liter pump board to gracefully riding the AXIS 899 pump, even on meager 1-foot swells in his Dubai home turf, Victor's journey is nothing short of inspiring. Tune in for a captivating conversation!
