Dave Kalama discuses the E3 boards, foiling and downwind best practices

I caught up with legendary waterman Dave Kalama to talk about all things foiling. Dave shares his knowledge about foil boards including construction, design, weight, size, and more. We also talk about foiling techniques and skills, as well as his lineup of the Kalama E3 Performance foil boards. These are his newest designs for SUP downwind foiling, Wind wing foiling and SUP foil surfing. I've been using the E3 model 6' and it's a big improvement over the custom that Dave shaped for me in 2018. We get into the nitty gritty details and if you're into that then I think you'll like this interview.

Excellent discussion. I appreciate the first class sound and video. This video tells a beginner everything they need to know to start downwind foil surfing. And it’s free. Great job. Many thanks to Dave Kalama for sharing so much valuable information.

Can anyone give me a time stamp when Dave talks about the e3 SUPs, particularly the 5’ range?
