During the show, Jason Calacanis recounted an incident where he was injured while e-foiling, sustaining a deep cut to his calf from the device's foil. He mentioned this happened earlier that morning before the podcast recording.
“Yeah, so e-foiling is like somewhere between a surfboard and a buoy board, but closer to a buoy board. And it has a little turbine that comes down on a stick.”
“Uh, so I flipped the board and, uh, the foil either the blade, casing or the foil itself, those two, um, you know, fins, just whacked into the back of my calf, smashed it. Wow.”
“Uh, so I just took a bunch of mochi and I had the leg up for an hour before the show and I iced it up.”
