The Casey Catch Up

The Casey Catch Up with Mizo Fernando | Surf Foiling, Paddling and Pumping it all adds up to DW Foil

I've admired Mizo's foiling for the best part of 5 years, to get him on the podcast was awesome. He is a passionate downwind foiler, just does not always get the conditions, hence why we always see him surf foiling. We break down what it takes to learn to downwind foil, hear a few epic adventures that Mizo has embarked upon and discuss injuries and how they help us grow as a person. It was a pleasure having Mizo on the podcast and our values aligned so much I invited him to help me coach on my online platform, the Coach Casey Club. if you want to be coached by Mizo, myself and a range of other super talented foilers check out this link to sign up https://caseyaus.com/coach-casey-club/

The Casey Catch Up with Fred Bonnef | The best DW foil race St Tropez, a Madeira Adventure plus more

Fred is a truly inspirational character and one who is passionate about downwind foiling. From sailing as a kid to becoming a windsurf legend and SUP pioneer it is what he has overcome that is truly inspiring. Nearly losing his leg in a horrible car crash was a watershed moment for Fred. He turned to event organising to help keep him busy whilst his body healed and has organised some of the best downwind events in the world. Getting into SUP Foiling was natural progression from both the organising and competing sense. He learnt to downwind foil with his disability showing others how it can be done in his home town. He has done M2O in 2023 and 2024 and since our chat was the first to foil from Europe to Africa across one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. It was an absolute pleasure to catch up with Fred and I hope you can be as inspired as I am when listening along to what he has to say.

The Casey Catch Up | 2024 Koa Kai Triple Crown Debrief hosted by Kuey

After a busy 2 weeks over in Hawaii with the majority of the downwind foiling world it'd be rude not to debrief on what was an exciting time over in Hawaii. Unfortunately Josh couldn't make it to the races so he was keen to pick my brain and we thought it'd be worth recording it as a Casey Catch Up episode. Hope you enjoy and get an insight into how the sport of downwind foiling is growing at a rapid rate! Also if you want to learn more about downwind foiling please head to the Coach Casey Club at www.caseyaus.com and find out the best way to learn one of the most epic sports going round at the moment.

The Casey Catch Up on the Northern Beaches Downwind Foil Race | with Josh Ku, Zane Westwood and Oskar Johanson

After a bit of a break The Casey Catch Up is back. Josh Ku, Zane Westwood and Oskar Johanson join me for a debrief on Australia's largest ever foil only downwind race. We go through the difficulties in getting it organised, the conditions, the course, the competition and the equipment we all use. For me personally this was downwind foiling coming of age here in Australia. It gets me super excited for the future but also just for the present. Downwind Foiling is now a sport that hundreds of people are now participating in here in Australia, it would easily be thousands worldwide. How cool is that? I do this podcast to grow the sport of downwind foiling and to see it really starting to flourish is epic. The other way I grow the sport is through my online coaching platform, the Coach Casey Club, where I have weekly coaching calls, where you can ask questions and upload videos, plus detailed course material going in depth for each step of the learning process.
