Bumpy Water Coaching Clinics

Group coaching clinics on the ocean in ‘bumpy’ water focus on transferring the techniques learnt in flat water to paddling up on a bump in the ocean and then foil efficiently downwind. These sessions are for you if you have basic paddle up knowledge but are looking for those tips and tricks to get you over the edge and accelerate your downwind performance.

Meet your coaches

HUGH MITCHELL

Hugh is the host and editor of The Foil Project Podcast and has spent the past three years working at The Foil Shop, where he’s gained valuable knowledge of downwind foiling from top experts in the sport. This year Hugh came 4th overall in Perth Race week. Last year, he placed second to James Casey in the Mayor’s Ocean Cup, and this year, he participated in the Barcelona World SUP Fest. Hugh has developed techniques for racing, surfing, and enjoying downwind foiling, with a few specialties like the Perth "weed jump" and the "no pump challenge." 

RILEY WALKER

Riley has spent more time in the water than on land, immersed in surfing, diving, and foiling. Since 2018, he has embraced all forms of foiling—prone, wing, and SUP. With a background in surf life saving and downwind ski paddling, Riley has honed his ability to read ocean bumps, seamlessly transferring those skills to SUP foil downwind.
