Andrew Readhead, AKA Reeei-deee, works full-time as a critical care paramedic and is a loving father of two. But during every spare moment, he can squeeze into his busy life, he is either shaping foiling boards, wake-thieving boats from the Swan River, dropping cars for Downwind foil runs or out in the water carving some crazy lines. Reedy learnt to foil through downwind foiling, and if you know a bit about foiling, that’s a remarkable feat. Reedy, gives a whole heap of valuable insight into how you can also learn how to downwind foil during this episode.
Recently, Reedy completed a 105km solo downwind, won the Fenn Westcoast Downwind Foil race and built his newest crazy board, a 5’6” by 17 downwind machine. Super stoked to have this chat with Reedy, and thanks to  @jamescasey7393  for joining the conversation and giving amazing insight as always.
We hope you enjoy the episode of The Foil Project, until next time... stay pumped!
