From Desert Girl to Downwind Foiler and Code Foils Team Rider | Krystal Cotterill’s Incredible Foiling Journey

This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, adventure, fear, progression, and finding confidence in the ocean.

How does someone who grew up in the remote outback of Western Australia — with no pool, no ocean, and a fear of water — become a King of the Cut winner and complete the legendary Maui to Molokai crossing?

In this episode of the Foilers Podcast, Pete sits down with WA downwind foiler and Code Foils team rider Krystal Cotterill to unpack her incredible journey from Leonora to some of the wildest ocean runs in Australia and Hawaii.

Krystal shares:

  • Growing up in the desert with zero water sports background\
  • Learning to foil during COVID while stranded on a sailboat in the Caribbean
  • The brutal early days of foiling and why she almost wrote the sport off
  • Massive downwind runs in WA’s southwest and Ningaloo
  • Scary moments offshore and the safety gear she relies on
  • Entering foiling competitions in Australia and Hawaii
  • Why more women aren’t getting into foiling — and what the industry can do about it

Whether you’re into wing foiling, downwind SUP foiling, or just love stories of people pushing themselves outside their comfort zone, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration. Enjoy
