Re: Is Shinn going to produce his own foil?

Hi all, Thanks for the interest. In short... yes we are launching our own foils. They are completely independently designed and fabricated in house at our HQ in southern Poland. No, we have not shared any parts or design knowledge with anyone else. I am a big fan of the Zeeko foils and Nicolas work ...

Re: Zeeko Spitfire Hydrofoil

Hi all, I don't often write here but when I have something I think is significant to say I will say it. Now seems a significant moment. Shinn has been selling Zeeko foils with our boards the past year and I was fortunate enough to receive Spitfire #01 last week which I promptly took to Tenerife with...

Re: Shin Shinnster and El Stubbo first ride!
