“With his start as a windsurfer on Lake Garda, Italy where he grew up, Edo later moved to Hong Kong and then to Hawaii where he became fascinated by prone foiling and SUP downwind. Eco championed the 2024 Koa Kai Triple Crown, winning the fastest times across three race courses on his downwind SUP.”
As he says, "This sport is only just beginning."
“The exciting, new Koa Kai Triple Crown launched this year combines three classic Hawaiian downwind foiling courses connecting the islands of Maui, Molokai and Oahu to represent the ultimate test of a contestant’s skill, endurance and speed while spanning over 70 miles of downwind racing over one incredible week of competition. In order to compete in this ultimate foiling challenge, participants were required to race the same craft (SUP downwind foil or wing foil) across three separate events where their cumulative time was combined to rank athletes for the final awards. The fastest time at the end earned the coveted title of Koa Kai Triple Crown champion for both men and women.”
