Omen Foils (Part 1): Rethinking Foiling Gear Design For Passionate Foilers With Greg Falck

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.
