Olly Bridge - Tow Up

Olly Bridge laat zich tot grote hoogte slepen door het Britse Sail GP Team

We are all amazed by the F50 boats and their revolutionary concept. A showcase of cutting-edge technology, similar to what Foil-Racing is at the moment. FLYSURFER athlete Olly Bridge is known to push the boundaries on the foil, around a racecourse or with breathtaking stunts. No surprise Olly got approached by the British SAILGP.

“They were asking me what’s possible if we can do a race or a stunt. I mean, why don’t we try both?”

Tow-Up’s came more and more in fashion lately, but nobody did it behind a foiling boat. The tow-up involves the kiter to attach himself to a long rope and gets slowly pulled by a moving object or a winch.
