The Foil Pod: Mathis Ghio, Racing, Speed and the Future of Wing Foiling

Wing foil racing is still one of the newest and fastest evolving corners of the sport, and few riders have had a better view of that development than Mathis Ghio. With a background in windsurfing and sailing, a sharp race brain and a growing role in the development of Ozone’s Fusion wings, Mathis sits right at the point where elite performance meets innovation. We caught up with him to talk about how he got started, why racing hooked him so quickly, what it feels like to hit over 40 knots on a wing, and where he thinks the sport is heading next.
