The Progression Project

Clifford Coetzer (@unifoil) is the designer for UniFoil. He was the first designer to make a high aspect and a dihedral foil, the hyper and vortex. Both designed 4 years ago and still good by today's standards. His latest foil, the Vyper, designed with Adam Bennetts, is setting a new bar on the surf side of foiling. He comes back on the show to discuss how his thoughts on design have changed, performance vs. stiffness, where he finds inspiration and a special announcement about a new collaboration!!!!!
