For no reason other than general curiosity - who are Adam Bennetts sponsors? He designed his own foil with Uni, but hes been riding Cabrinha and Axis (and maybe others?) recently. Why's he not riding his pro model? Hes one of, if not THE, most talented riders out there - you would think someone would have scooped him up with a decent contract. Maybe he doesn't need the dough and would rather ride everything out there? Whats the story?
Flite efoils maybe? I'm sure he's requesting top dollar. Maybe he had a bidding war going for awhile then just never signed with anyone.

check his @ in IG bio
he is involved with Fliteboard I know that much
board design from JS Industries and Amos Shapes
seems he was on uni but has since tried most other brands
guess James Casey did similar after leaving Go Foils before landing with Axis
gotta try all the gear maybe?
all this IG foil stars must be paid by fuel company... when you see the number of tow foil video. Even in very small wave. The global warming is less important than a bit of glory on social media i guess.
The story with Unifoil is weird I agree.
Seems like is has been enjoying Takuma then Cabrinha and now Lift. He must get lots of free gear to try and he will probably choose the best opportunity (best gear and best deal).

Electric drones mate. And don't you drive to the beach?
It's called Virtue signalling.
it is right adam bennetts is almost always paddling. But what about all the others? with the foil you can surf almost everywhere but it is still not enough! guys are always towing even in 2 feet swell...
yes i drive to the beach but once there, i use the wind or my arms...
I am probably the only one disappointed by this tow-in abuse... i don't know but i find this shocking!

I don,t think this is the place to discuss.Besides that I think it makes more sense to look at what everybody can do themself in general before starting pointing fingers about what others should do.
yes sorry you are right... the last video with the huge yacht made me react a bit quick...
