OGs in the foiling world, Ivan and Nathan van Vuuren talk our man Steve through their foil line-up at the recent AWSI event in Hood River.
Interview transcript:
Steve:
Hi, I'm Steve with Foiling Magazine and I'm here with a couple legends of the sport, Ivan van Vuuren and his son Nathan from Signature Foils. And, look, you guys have been at the forefront of this since the beginning, putting out incredible foils since... You had the first high-aspect foils on the market before anybody knew what to do with them in the Albatross. And I haven't caught up with you guys in a while, so what's new at Signature? What have you been up to?
Ivan van Vuuren:
It's been a great few years, Steve, since we first started the pioneering stages. Now it's actually developed into a sport. We are at the AWSI, and it's crazy to see the development, innovation, and just so many new products on the market. But just getting back to the original days, we hooked up with Cliffy and he designed one of the early high aspects, as you mentioned. And, fortunately, that put us into the forefront right from the start and gave us a great platform to work off for Signature Foils, Signature Performance Gear. And a lot of more new gear in the market now but it's been a great adventure so far. Really, really good.
Steve:
So what foil do you like to ride at home? And then what foil do you like to ride in both prone surfing and then in winging?
Ivan van Vuuren:
Yeah, so me personally, I love the Game Changer, the one designed by Geoff Cox. He's a designer from New Zealand, one of our designers. And what I enjoy about it, it's a great all-around foil. I can wing on it, I can prone foil, I can sup, I can downwind, and it's just one of those foils that I can really do everything with. So that's me personally. Nate?
