SLALOM, FOIL, FREERIDE TALKS WITH MATTEO.
During a short trip to Western Australia, the 2019 PWA Vice World Champion Matteo Iachino stopped by the Severne loft at Revolution boardsports in Perth for an informative evening covering the most recent developments in the world of foiling, freeriding and racing.

The current Mach3 racing, Hyper Glide 2, Hyper Glide Go and Foil Glide sails were covered along with tips on how to set them up correctly. And everyone got an insight into how Matteo sets his gear up and prepares himself for the season.
