Grant Hore | Driven | Foil Drive

Driven is about connecting riders from all around the world, sharing their why behind foiling, and capturing the everyday.

In this episode, we sit down with Scarborough local (QLD, Australia) Grant Hore. A Foil Driver since the early days, Grant is a true reflection of what community means to Foil Drive, with a deep connection to the water rooted in a family legacy of surf lifesavers.

Grant’s why is one many of us can relate to: finding solace out on the water to ground himself, re-set, and show up as the best version of a husband, dad, friend, and business owner. Talking honestly about his journey with mental health and work-life balance has sparked a strong belief in looking out for our fellow foilers and neighbours. Beyond the hard-learned lessons, Grant shares his love for Slingshot gear and the pure freedom Foil Drive gives him to get out in any conditions.

“Being able to ride a Foil Drive is not a hard thing. It takes some time, but the gift it gives me… it’s just a pleasure.”
