013_Ken Adgate: Expert Parawing techniques, tips, hacks and modifications!

Описание: In this episode we speak with Ken Adgate an Ozone ambassador and Mikeslab foils team rider. Wow, this episode is packed with so much information and sits at the top shelf for those seeking to learn new moves, riding tips, parawing mods… this list is long. Ken shares step by step brake-downs of fundamental moves like jibes, land drills and stowing, and keeps the good stuff coming with more advanced techniques like tacking, downloops, sinker starts.

I learned so much from Ken and I’m stoked he will be in Hood River during the same time I’ll be there! Looking to soak up as much as I can from his many years of riding and all his experience in wind sports. Looking forward to some epic session together!
