Paddlecast

Nadia & Nico Schenk are traveling all the way around the coast of Australia in their motorhome, and just to make a little more interesting, Nico is paddling/running/riding the entire way. Yes, all 16,000km of it (that's 10,000 miles...). Follow @australia.epic.lap on Instagram for more

Jim Terrell is a four-time Olympian and the founder of Quickblade Paddles. We had a great chat about everything from building canoes to competing in the Olympics, the birth of QB and working with guys like Dave Kalama and Laird Hamilton in the earliest days of the sport.

Andrey Kraytor is an Olympic athlete who competed in sprint canoe at the 2016 Games and now coaches the Chinese national team.

Daniel and his brother Bruno are two of the finest athletes in paddling, and it's always a pleasure to hear their thoughts on the sport and life in general.

I was joined in the studio by local legend Bob Margetts, a paddling fanatic and all-round inspirational guy. It was a pleasure to chat with Bob about how paddling has changed his life and share his enthusiasm for the ocean.

We're also working on a couple of very special projects -- keep your eye out for those in the next two weeks... ;-) 

Welcome to SUP Racer’s new weekly recap show, The ONE Review. Paul Jackson from ONE Ocean Sports joins us in the studio to recap the big 12 Towers Ocean Festival. Young guns, grassroots and some good times on the Gold Coast.

It was a pleasure to have James "Jimmy" Casey in the SUP Racer podcast studio today. We're getting ready for the big 12 Towers Ocean Festival this weekend, and there aren't many paddlers on this planet who've mastered the ocean as well as Jimmy has. The humble Aussie is the reigning Molokai-2-Oahu champion -- an emotional victory that he dedicated to his cancer-battling father -- not to mention one of the world's foremost foil fanatics.

Paul Jackson from ONE joins me in the studio for a look back at the month in SUP. We talk GlaGla, Iron X and upsets in Florida. We're also joined via phone by James "Jimmy" Casey who just completed a 100km foil challenge for charity.

I sat down with Paul "Jacko" Jackson from ONE to debate the new-look SUP Racer World Rankings. We take a look at each of the top 10 athletes and predict who might be on the rise in season 2020...

Welcome back to Paddlecast! My guest today is one of the most experienced (and opinionated) paddlers on the planet. Over the past 15 years, Paul "Jacko" Jackson been a pro kiter, paddler, foiler, team manager, retail store owner and now co-founder of a board brand: ONE Ocean Sports, which is producing some of the most innovative race boards in the world. In this episode, we had a good chat about building a board brand, the endless saga of Olympic paddletics and how to make racing more interesting and exciting. The "big new idea" we chat about is @ the 28/29 minute mark. Very excited to try this new format next year... On a side note: This is the very first episode recorded in the new 'SUP Racer x ONE' podcast studio! We're currently building this into a (semi) professional recording space that'll become the new home of SUP Racer and Paddlecast. Very excited, and very grateful to ONE for hosting me.

I sat down with veteran athlete and co-founder of the 'ONE' brand, Angie Jackson, to chat about her recovery from injury, her crazy first race, the special collaboration between SUP Racer and ONE ...and what really gets said on the water ;-)

I’m very excited to share the second episode of Paddlecast with you because it features my new favourite race – The Yukon River Quest – as well as a guy I’ve got the world of respect for, Bart de Zwart. I sat down with the four-time Yukon champion and king of endurance paddling in Canada six weeks ago to record this conversation. We went into great detail (sometimes too much detail) to describe the physical highs and mental lows of this insane, 715km race. We actually did this podcast just 48 hours after the race finished — we were both still utterly exhausted (as you can hear in our voices) but also still buzzing from what is one of the most incredible paddling adventures imaginable. Thanks, Bart, for taking the time to chat with us about this fascinating event.

The very first episode of Paddlecast! Thanks to Casper Steinfath for having a chat with us (twice) in Denmark. We talked about his new film "Skagerrak" plus our thoughts on the future of the sport and his love/hate affair with racing.

 Paddlecast is a place we can share longer, deeper and richer stories, news and opinions about the sport of stand up paddleboarding.
