Thank you @fonekites. After over 7 years working together with F-one, it’s now time to say goodbye. The last few years with F-one have been some of the most memorable years of my life - we’ve come a long way together from my first South African title to the podium on the @gkakiteworldtour, all the way to the North Pole and all the other incredible places and trips we’ve been on together all around the world - it’s been quite the journey and I will always be incredibly grateful to them for enabling all of this. However, all good things must eventually come to an end as times change and it’s now time for me to write the next chapter of my career. Thank you for everything to my team at @fonekites @fonefoil @f.onesup for believing in me and especially @brucechrystal for opening the original door for me back in 2016 and for always having my back since then 🖤 excited for what lies ahead! by @mattmaxwe11

Wow. What an unbelievable feeling to get onto my first podium here in Morocco after only 1 year of competing on the @gkakiteworldtour ! 🤯 This event was amazing, we got so lucky with waves and wind and I’m super happy with my riding and achieving one of my biggest goals this early feels incredible. I felt like something in my surfing finally clicked and I seemed to just get more dialled in every heat and the scores finally showed. Thank you to everyone that was supporting me on the beach and from home - I really felt the vibe yesterday and it was just insane 🥵❤️🇿🇦 onto the next!

Loads of exciting new developments coming very soon, including all-new D2 and H2 technologies, hollow constructions and the integration of key @akdurablesupplyco shapes into the Starboard range 🤯

Wind is on its way and the team is frothing to get out on the water with all the new gear - stay tuned!

Being a pro rider might be the dream, but what happens next?

@mattmaxwe11 took a different approach, combining life as an international team writer with education and a plan for a career beyond competition. Today, he’s marketing manager @starboardfoiling.

In the latest episode of The Foil Pod Matt talks about why young riders should think beyond becoming a world champion, develop skills off the water!and build relationships that could shape their future within the industry.
