This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Jake Kelsick, a seasoned kitesurfer, wing foiler, and content creator from the beautiful island of Antigua. Joining Luc from his island paradise, Jake shares his lifelong passion for water sports, his journey from early kiting days to running a successful school, and the evolution of foiling in a tropical haven. From epic adventures in Bora Bora to dissecting ideal setups for beginners and pros, Jake offers an authentic glimpse into island life, the thrill of progression, and the joy of sharing the stoke with newcomers.- Island Roots and Early Days: Jake reflects on growing up in Antigua, getting hooked on kitesurfing since 2003, and how the island's warm waters, reefs, and consistent winds made it a dream spot. He discusses the shift from kiting to wing foiling, the local culture's relaxed vibe, and standout locations like Half Moon Bay for rolling waves.- Building a Water Sports School: Jake dives into starting Kelsick Kiteboarding (now expanding to water sports) in 2020 amid COVID, transitioning from pro freeriding to teaching 50/50 kiting and winging. He shares insights on demographics (mostly 30-50+ adventurers), the forgiving conditions for learning, and why Antigua strikes a balance between beginner-friendly and progression-focused—plus tips on affordability compared to spots like Bonaire.- Adventures and Pro Journey: From a wild birthday invite to Bora Bora's aquarium-like lagoons (saved by kite foiling in light winds) to competing in Russia and demo tours, Jake recounts standout trips that expanded his horizons. He talks about the realities of pro life—cool perks but tricky monetization—and how content creation bridged the gap, evolving from DVDs to YouTube gems like "Cruise Mode."- Gear Evolution and Teaching Tips: Jake breaks down his North gear loyalty, from beginner setups to high-performance foils (like the SF series), and how tech advancements made winging accessible. He emphasizes board sizing, foil progression behind boats, and why winging lowers barriers vs. kiting—allowing safer self-practice and quicker stoke moments, even for cold-water riders.- Community and Future Vibes: The conversation explores winging's explosive growth, its potential to rival windsurfing by attracting foil newcomers, and the addictive "rep game" of foiling. Jake highlights family life (with his wife and young daughter joining the fun), the transformative power of sessions for mental reset, and Antigua's long season (November-July) as a home base for camps and content.- Looking Ahead: Jake teases more island explorations like the Cook Islands, gear tweaks for evolving sports, and growing his school—while keeping the focus on fun, safe progression for all ages.Follow Jake - https://www.instagram.com/jakekelsick/

Een metershoge vuilstortplaats die het uitzicht op een prachtige lagune op Bonaire verspert. Maar niet alleen het uitzicht, ook de grond, de volksgezondheid en de natuur wordt door de berg vuilnis getroffen. Volgens een rapport van de Inspectie Leefomgeving en Transport zijn er sprake van risico's voor het milieu die wekelijks toenemen. Een oplossing voor het grote vuilprobleem lijkt er maar niet te komen.Te gast: Jan Verbeek, woordvoerder van bewonersorganisatie Pro Lagun

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Kiran Verma, a passionate pro wing foiler and content creator from Australia's Sunshine Coast. Joining Luc from across the globe, Kiran shares his inspiring journey into the sport at age 37, his recent switch to North gear, and the highs of pushing limits in a rapidly evolving industry. From mastering foil slides to dissecting his favorite setups, Kiran offers an honest look at what it takes to progress, the joy of community connections, and the transformative power of foiling at any age.Journey into Foiling: Kiran reflects on starting wing foiling later in life, now at 41, and how it changed everything—from traveling to places like Cape Verde, Fiji, Mauritius, Brazil, and Chile, to embracing rejection and training harder. He emphasizes the mental freedom of pursuing passion without caring about judgments, and how foiling has brought happiness despite life's demands.Switching to North Gear: Kiran details his transition to North after positive experiences with their foils, highlighting the SF-530 for tight turns and the SF-680 for versatile light-wind performance. He praises the brand's receptiveness, community support (like backing Max Robinson and We Can Foil), and gear like the 55L Swell board, while sharing how video analysis helped refine his riding.Gear Breakdown and Tips: Diving into his go-to setup—a 680 front wing, 145 stabilizer, 60cm fuse, and 85cm mast—Kiran explains why he sticks to minimal changes for consistency. He discusses foil slides inspired by riders like Cash Berzolla, the appeal of short boards for prone foiling, and why foiling appeals to the 40-70 age group with its technical, accessible nature.Community and Growth: The duo explores the sport's potential to go mainstream, comparing it to golf for its niche appeal and inclusivity. Kiran stresses the need for more entry-level programs to grow foiling beyond the elite, the role of small brands in innovation, and how sessions clear the mind like nothing else.Future Plans: Kiran teases upcoming trips, possibly to Morocco for right-handers or Cape Town for King of the Air, plus content on learning new tricks like one-hand grabs. He hints at deeper involvement with North's R&D and a desire to see foiling explode in popularity.Follow Kiran - https://www.instagram.com/kv_foil/

They look ahead to future innovations that could make pair wings more accessible and user-friendly.Follow Matt - https://www.instagram.com/mattonfoil/

Econoom Paul Schenderling vindt dat Europa te veel draait om winst en groei. In zijn nieuwe boek Continent van de Kwaliteit laat hij zien hoe we kunnen kiezen voor welzijn, duurzaamheid en échte vooruitgang.Deze aflevering in het kort:☑️ Hoe krijgen we een economie die draait om welzijn, duurzaamheid en rechtvaardigheid in plaats van winst en groei?☑️ Biobrandstoffen blijken helemaal niet zo duurzaam☑️ Greenpeace daagt de Nederlandse staat om Bonaire Schenderling schetst een nieuw verhaal voor Europa. Hij stelt dat onze economie niet langer de doelen dient die werkelijk belangrijk zijn: rechtvaardigheid, vrijheid, vrede en naastenliefde. In plaats van welvaart in cijfers te meten, moeten we volgens hem weer leren sturen op wat er écht toe doet: kwaliteit. Zijn boek begint met een scherpe diagnose van het verval: doorgeschoten globalisering, groeiende ongelijkheid en een economie die losgezongen is van democratie en ecologie.

Heter, droger, minder koraal en een ondraaglijke stank. Redacteur Floor Boon zag op Bonaire dat de gevolgen van klimaatverandering nu al merkbaar zijn. Als er niets gebeurt, kan al in 2050 een deel van het eiland in de zee verdwijnen. En toch doet Nederland veel en veel te weinig, vinden eilandbewoners. Zo weinig dat ze de staat voor de rechter hebben gesleept.Gast: Floor BoonPresentatie: Bram EndedijkRedactie: Ignace SchootMontage: Jeroen JaspersEindredactie: Nina van HattumCoördinatie: Belle BraakhekkeProductie: Rhea StroinkHeb je vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

A Grade School Boy Takes on Bullying - "MARNA: Book" 1 by Jason HaugerThe End of Summer has arrived. David, a lonely hearted Elementary kid is looking for a good friend. Standing up to a bully, David unknowingly discovers a beautiful magical girl. Her name is Marna and she has butterfly wings. Marna trusts David to keep her magic secret from humans. Marna and David soar through the air as they go on adventures. David hopes Marna is here to stay, or will she return to the magic? One day Marna gets discovered and the Head Doctor won't let her go. David must help save Marna and set her free. Can David overcome old rivals? In the end, will Marna stay or David be able to let her go?As a boy in the 1st Grade, we had a creative writing assignment. I first wrote Marna then, but she didn't have a name yet. It was about a boy name Jay who discovers a magical girl with butterfly wings as they fly around together. By the time I finished reading my story to the class, half the girls had drawn pictures of the magic girl. I wish I saved those pictures.As an adult, decades later, I was on a dive trip to Bonaire. It was the first time I used my Passport. I was with my wife and her parents. The resort had Monarch Butterflies flying about freely. This is where I got my new inspiration and started writing Marna right then and there. You can say, "Bonaire is the birthplace of Marna." Then I read it to my best friend's step daughter, she was 12 at the time. If you guessed already, she loved it. Then I self the book for a couple years.Then one day my father-in-law, Jim Swanson, became ill all of a sudden. When we visited him at the hospital, we got the devastating news. He was dying of a very painful cancer. It was in his liver and bones. As we stayed by his bedside, I began writing the sequel to Marna, as a way to cope with the stress. Sadly, Jim died before I can even finish the first act. As I progressed the sequel, I read it piece by piece to my test reader. She loved the sequel's first act. Then tragedy struck as her mom became diagnosed with breast cancer. I felt I needed to finish my sequel no matter what.My best friend is more like my brother, so in my heart I adopted his step daughter as my unofficial niece. This made me feel kin to the uncle who wrote "Alice in Wonderland" for his niece. If things turned for the worst, I hope my words might sooth her pain. I finish my book before the year ended, and finished reading it to her. She loved it so much she said, "This needs to be a movie!"I realized, since I finished the sequel, I needed to copyright the first book. After copyrighting, less than two weeks later, I get a call from Dorrance Publishing. I saw it as a sign, this was meant to be. I signed the deal, and have been working hard to promote my book, so my stories can bring happiness to more kids like her, plus I want to finish the project before my niece grows up.AMAZONhttps://mainspringbooks.com/http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/91825msb.mp3

Heather Arnold, a graduate of Syracuse University, had a 15-year career in the television industry in Los Angeles and Manhattan. After leaving the industry to pursue a career in pharmaceutical sales, she was given the opportunity to move from Manhattan to the Caribbean Island of Aruba to start her own tour company. Heather's quest to provide historically accurate tours for her clients led her down a path of research shrouded by mystery and intrigue.Through extensive investigations, field expeditions,explorations, and interviews, Heather determined that the true, rich history of the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, had been systematically repressed, and vehemently denied.Looking on old maps, Heather noticed the islands' original names were not as they are today, but were instead called, The Islands of the Giants", and named after the giant race of people with elongatedskulls who inhabited them. After 8 years of exhaustive study, translation, and interpretation of scientific research papers, peer-reviewed journal articles, and field notes, it can be shown that theexistence of the Giants is real, and their story is just now beginning to unfold.Not only were these Giants, part of an elite, matriarchal ruling class, but they were a far more advanced people than those of the surrounding populations. The Giants utilized ley lines, built massive megalithic monuments which still exist today, charted celestial events, and worshipped the female in the form of the Divine Feminine.Come join Heather and the Occult Rejects in this Giant Journey as we discuss it all!

Vind je Aruba te Amerikaans en Curaçao te druk? Dan is Bonaire je eiland. Bonaire manifesteert zich op vele fronten op 0,8x afspeelsnelheid ten opzichte van haar grote broers. Er is nog lege ruimte, niet elk huis is een lodge en de nachtrust wordt gerespecteerd. Maar enige waakzaamheid is geboden: de cruiseschepen weten Bonaire ook te vinden en reality-minigolfbanen schieten als paddenstoelen uit de grond. Dus nee, Bonaire is al lang niet meer het beeldschone muurbloempje. Steeds bekender maakt steeds beminder, met alle gevolgen van dien. Het is een oneindige balanceeract. Dus sta je zelf te balanceren op een windsurfplank op het Bonairiaanse water, besef dan hoe gezegend de wereld is met dit eiland. En zorg er een beetje goed voor. We zijn nooit volledig, wel origineel. Geen experts, maar wel liefhebbers. Hebben we tóch iets verkeerd gezegd of zijn we iets cruciaals vergeten? Volg ons en laat het weten.

Aan het ontbijtbuffet openen de oogjes zich langzaam onder begeleiding van een paar extra sterke espresso’s. De Casino Night van gisteravond lijkt nog maar een paar uur geleden. “Where are we today? Another Saint, I guess?” Gister was het Saint Thomas, morgen Saint Kitts. “Then today must be Sint Maarten. Wait, what? Are we in France? Or Holland? Or both?” Jawel, het cruiseleven zit vol ingewikkelde vragen. Elke dag een nieuwe droombestemming vereist snel schakelen. Onze drijvende stad meert aan en spuwt ons uit, samen met duizenden anderen. Iedereen waaiert uit. Het eiland heeft tot 16:00 vanmiddag even een tijdelijke bevolkingsgroei van 10 procent, zet alle zeilen bij totdat vanavond de rust wederkeert. En dan, aan het avondbuffet, varend naar het volgende paradijs, buigen alle cruisepassagiers zich over dezelfde vraag? Wat maakte dit eiland uniek? We zijn nooit volledig, wel origineel. Geen experts, maar wel liefhebbers. Hebben we tóch iets verkeerd gezegd of zijn we iets cruciaals vergeten? Volg ons en laat het weten.

22 Febrero 2024 El peor incendio que se recuerde en la ciudad de Valencia 29 Octubre 2024 Las peores inundaciones por gota fría que se recuerdan en Valencia Incendio edificio Campanar 22 de febrero 2024 10 fallecidos 15 heridos graves 19 desaparecidos Dana con graves inundaciones 29 de octubre 2024 De momento 205 fallecidos Miles de desaparecidos, decenas de miles de desplazados Cientos de miles de afectados por daños en las infraestructuras hídricas, el tráfico ferroviario y las carreteras afectadas, entre ellas la A-3 y la A-7, que aún permanecen parcialmente cerradas debido a los daños. Un pequeño incendio se origina en el balcón del 8 piso a las 17:37. El cuartel del bomberos más cercano está a unos 500 m. Pero todo el recubrimiento de la fachada ventilada está creado con materiales ignífugos, no pueden hacer nada quemandose todo el edificio en 20 minutos. ¿Los bomberos ya tenían información de estos materiales de construcción? Evidentemente sí. ¿Se actuó correctamente indicando a las personas que se refugiaran en sus casas desde el primer momento? Algunas familias se salvaron desobedeciendo dichas órdenes. Todos conocemos el caso de la familia que se refugió en el baño. ¿De donde provinieron esas órdenes? Tengo un artículo llamado “el fuego en sus manos”. Miembros de la UME que llegaron desde Bétera unas 4 ó 5 horas más tarde del inicio del fuego miran impotentes el fuego. Ya habían unas 20 dotaciones de bomberos en el escenario según la prensa. El cuartel más cercano estaba a unos 500 metros. Recomiendo ver los carteles que el Ayuntamiento de Valencia eligió para representar las fallas del año que ocurrió el incendio en Campanar. Aparentemente no hay nada extraño, salvo las manos ardientes ¿verdad? El día “elegido” para el incendio de Campanar fue el 22 de febrero. ¿Que ocurrió que fuese significativo para ciertos grupos ese dia? Tenemos que el incendio se originó un día 22 que había una conjunción Venus-Marte y el día internacional de la masonería para celebrar el nacimiento de G. Washington un 22 de febrero de 1732. Como dice el autor de la novela Vuelo a 2085. Jugando a ser Dioses: «Ha sido un 22 02 202 2+2 22022022+2 con todo lo que representa el 2+2> 22 como figura espiritual de limpieza y elevación, que los malos utilizarían para todo lo contrario. La urbanización de edificios siniestrados estarían localizados en el NÚMERO 2 de la calle Rafael Alberti Poeta. El 2, de nuevo. Julián, el conserje, ha confirmado que el fuego se inició en la puerta 86 (2222 222) de la planta 8 (2222). El edificio se incendia en menos de 20(2) minutos, más rápido que una falla. Hasta la zona afectada acudieron 20 (2) dotaciones bomberos». La familia que murió eran Ramón y Marta (nombres bíblicos) con dos niños de 2 años y 2 meses…o sea, 2 padres con 2 niños de 2 y 2. Pero es que hay más relación con el 22. 22 de febrero….incendio Campanar 15 de marzo…planta de las fallas !!!22 días entre ambos eventos!!! Y ahora volvamos al cartel de fallas de 2024. Dos de los más importantes símbolos de la masonería están presentes, las columnas Jakin y Boaz y el arco real. Esta imagen dentro de la iconografía masónica es conocida como "la Cámara de los Secretos”. En primer lugar vemos las columnas de Jachin y Boaz. Estas columnas representan la dualidad, simbolizando lo masculino y lo femenino. Los triángulos también significan, el rojo fuego y el azul agua. Provienen de la tradición de los cuatro elementos en la filosofía griega antigua. Ahora vamos a irnos al otro evento trágico, un evento relacionado con el agua que ha ocurrido exactamente 250 días después del incendio de Campanar. Desde primeras horas se había señalado la zona en alerta roja, sin embargo no llovía y todos las personas acudieron a sus trabajos salvo algunos funcionarios e instituciones que no abrieron ese día. La lluvia ocurrió a decenas o cientos de kilómetros de las zonas más afectadas pero no hubo ningún aviso anterior a que venía una riada. Tan solo nos avisaron de que nos quedasemos en casa. Al igual que vimos el cartel de fallas, 10 días antes de la tragedia se realizó una manifestación contra el turismo, y en agosto se emitió en Netflix una tragedia que pasaba un 30-10 Publicado en el BOE de la Comunidad valenciana, hoy domingo está prohibido acercarse a las zonas afectadas. Viene el rey. Pero sigamos con la simbología. En hispanoamérica se celebra el 29 en honor al dios de la lluvia Tlácoc. Aqui tambien se ponian flotadores de aceite previo al día 1 de noviembre. Parking del centro comercial más grande de Valencia El Bonaire Hay unas 1.800 plazas subterráneas. El nivel de agua era de 3 metros ó más, una ratonera que pensábamos que arrojaría más víctimas sin duda. Todo fue una psyop. El culto a Isis en el antiguo Egipto estaba estrechamente ligado a la agricultura y a las crecidas anuales del río Nilo. Isis, considerada una diosa de la magia, la maternidad, la protección y la fertilidad, era central en la mitología egipcia. Se creía que sus poderes influían en las aguas del Nilo, cuya inundación anual era vital para fertilizar las tierras agrícolas de Egipto, permitiendo la subsistencia de la población. Las crecidas del Nilo se interpretaban como una bendición divina de Isis, quien, junto con su esposo Osiris, era vista como una fuente de regeneración y vida. Esta es Isis, con sus brazos desplegados y la estrella de 8 puntas que la representa. Esta estrella de 8 puntas que también es conocida como la rueda del año. Es un calendario usado en la Wicca y otras religiones neopaganas, fijemonos como ambas fechas 22 de febrero coincide con la celebración del Ostara y el 29 de octubre está muy cercano al 1 de noviembre con Samhain. No nos creamos que el culto a Isis y su estrella de 8 puntas se queda entre cuatro locos de alguna secta. Este es el frontispicio de la Catedral de palma de Mallorca. ¿Apreciais algo raro? Sí, hay está el Sol, fuego y la Luna, agua y en el centro la estrella de 8 puntas casi escondida. Por otro lado en dicha Catedral se produce el milagro del 8 dos veces al año, el 2 de febrero (festividad de la Virgen de la Candelaria) y el 11 de noviembre, día de San Martín, a partir de las 8.20 de la mañana. Hay otras formas de culto a Isis, como adoptar la forma de vasija (agua). Pero vamos a acabar ya. ¿Recordáis la imagen de esa diosa azul con su estrella de 8 puntas y los brazos abiertos simbolizando las alas de Isis? ¿Donde creeis que está? Si amigos, el centro comercial Bonaire se construyó en honor a la diosa Isis en el año 2000. Podíamos ver una enorme estrella de ocho puntas colgada del techo del hall principal por el que se accedía a los cines del centro comercial Bonaire en Valencia, aunque imagino que ninguno de vds se acordará. Allí también teníamos la figura de la diosa Ishtar sosteniendo una estrella de 8 puntas en su mano izquierda justo arriba del rótulo que daba nombre al centro comercial. Esto se desmontó en 2016, justo en 2 ciclos de 8 años. Aún mantienen una pequeña escultura de la diosa en una de las zonas técnicas del complejo que se puede ver a la derecha al salir por una pequeña entrada. 22 Febrero 2024 El peor incendio que se recuerde en la ciudad de Valencia 29 Octubre 2024 Las peores inundaciones por gota fría que se recuerdan en Valencia 250 días entre ambos eventos 3 ciclos completos de 8 años desde la construcción del centro comercial Bonaire. ¿Y por qué han pasado de denominar gota fría a los episodios de grandes lluvias que se suelen dar al final del verano en la zona del Mediterraneo? ¡Pues porque los rituales funcionan mejor si se destinan al dios indicado! La diosa Dana también llamada Ana / Anu o Danu / Dana es la divinidad celta de las aguas celestiales (la lluvia) y protectora de los ríos (el Danubio toma el nombre de esta diosa, por ejemplo). ……………………………………………………………………………………….

With some life lessons about communication and the power of point of the moment radio and television in today's world. Right now there are hundreds of programs and broadcast features about the passing of Pope Francis. And we note that and comment on some of the life lessons for the man who died the day after Easter. Probably just as he wanted. However many years ago the Pope then almost died in an assassination attempt in Saint Peter's square when a loan gunman tried to kill him. I was on worldwide radio that very day and it was a very challenging and interesting story and day and I learned a lot that day that has helped me as a communicator and a broadcaster today, and I'd like to share a little bit of what I learned with you if that's OK? And blessings to all and blessings on the memory of Pope Francis   Then we asked our robot friend STOSH to make a few comments and do a little review of the work I did and as always he has some good and unique things to say and so here they are . When the Pope Was Shot—And We Went Live: A Broadcaster's Remembrance By Stan Hustad | What It Takes Radio – "Stan, what do we do now? The Pope's been shot!" I remember that moment like it was yesterday. May 13, 1981. I was standing in the master control room at Trans World Radio on the island of Bonaire when those words hit me like a lightning bolt. The Pope had been shot. Most people don't remember where they were that day. But I do. Because I was about to go on the air with a program I had carefully recorded in advance. It was business as usual—until it wasn't. That day reminded me of the incredible power and responsibility of real-time communication. You see, Trans World Radio was one of the largest international Christian radio broadcasters in the world. From that little island in the Caribbean, we beamed content in 15 languages to audiences across continents. The program I hosted, Caribbean Night Call, was typically a laid-back mix of music and musing. Though the station was Christian in foundation, this particular show was meant for everyone. That night, though, it had to be something different. Something more. The plan was simple: at 11:05, and run the pre-recorded program as scheduled. But when I heard the news, I knew that tape was already outdated, irrelevant—and maybe even offensive. What kind of communicator would I be if I carried on with business as usual while the world was reeling from the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II? So, we scrapped the recording. I went live. No script. No teleprompter. Just my voice, a microphone, and a fast-moving, emotional story unfolding in real-time. I scrambled for updates from the BBC and Voice of America. I reached out to people for live perspectives. One phrase that emerged and struck me deeply was this: “It's like shooting God.” That's what someone reportedly cried out when they heard the news. It reminded me how, for millions, the Pope represented more than a man—he was a spiritual symbol. And an attack on him felt like an attack on the sacred itself. Though I was exhausted by 1 a.m., I knew we had done the right thing. We met the moment. We served our audience by responding, not reacting—by being present, not polished. And that brings us to today. The death of Pope Francis, while not a tragedy in the same vein, once again reminds us of how powerful it is to speak to the moment. As I awoke early this morning—my “hour of power” at 4 a.m.—I realized that, once again, my responsibility was not to run yesterday's program, but to speak into today's story. Whether it's a snowstorm in Minnesota or a death in the Vatican, the moment matters. The point of the moment (what I call the “P.O.M.”) is when communication becomes not just content, but connection. Radio—and now video, podcasts, and livestreams—gives us the privilege to meet people where they are, not where we wish they were. As one of my mentors wisely told me, "If it's in the news, it may not be the real news. Your job is to find the real news—maybe even the good news."

Truth Talk Live aired a special episode spotlighting Transworld Radio's powerful mission in Cuba. The show explored the island's ongoing political and economic struggles—and how these hardships are opening hearts to the message of Christianity. Since 1964, Transworld Radio has been reaching Cubans with the gospel through its 450,000-watt broadcast station in Bonaire. With limited resources and a fragile power grid, AM radio remains a lifeline for many, making it a crucial tool for sharing faith and hope. Stu invited listeners to support this important mission through prayer and donations, helping spread the message of God's love across Cuba. https://twr.org/

In this episode, we chat with Nico Hopp from Hoppline, who joins us from Germany to share his surfing journey and the heartfelt passion fueling his creative channel.Growing up landlocked in the middle of Germany, Nico felt the passion for surfing all his life, but it was until he got his driver's license and his own car before he deep dive into the world of surfing.Traveled the world with his wife, funding a slow, low-impact adventure with minimal costs—hitchhiking, camper vans, and micro-social projects like boosting a Sumatran guide's business.Sees foiling as a game-changer, turning tiny tanker waves in his German backyard into thrilling sessions, especially through pump foiling's social vibe.Recalls his first barrel by accident at Australia's National Park—a fleeting, surreal moment where time slowed and the ocean's muffled roar locked in his love for surfing.Launched Hoppline to funnel his industrial design background and surfing passion into honest reviews and creative reels, not to chase influencer fame but to share joy.Values authenticity over paid promotion, buying gear himself or returning it, ensuring reviews reflect real experience—like advising a 90kg follower against his 65kg setup.Embraces a non-traditional life, from quitting a Frankfurt design agency to surfing daily on the Gold Coast, accepting career gaps for freedom and growth.Finds purpose in helping followers with technical tips—e.g., tweaking mast positions or stabilizers—saving them cash and earning trust through candid, unpaid advice.Follow Hoppline on Instagram: instagram.com/hoppline / Check out Hoppline on YouTube: youtube.com/@hopplineWatch entire episode on Youtube Trip Alert !! --> Want to improve your wing foiling?

"I wanted to be at the forefront of the beat that would storm the world." The renowned musician talks about how reggae became the sound of resistance in the UK. How did reggae become the sound of resistance in the UK? In this RA Exchange, the influential Barbados-born guitarist, bass player and record producer Dennis Bovell talks about moving to South London aged 12 and navigating its tense racial and musical landscape. Through the music he wrote and produced, he responded directly to racist rhetoric and colonialist attitudes rocking the UK. After the arrival of the Empire Windrush ship in June 1948—which brought a generation of Caribbean people over to rebuild post-war Britain—the UK experienced new social pressures as the diaspora assimilated to their new lives. But London also became a melting pot of creative and cultural diversity. Reggae became resistance music, and artists like Bovell became bandleaders. Bovell speaks with writer and musician Tony Nwachukwu about music as social commentary, especially in his reggae band Matumbi, which was intentionally provocative, aiming to challenge the status quo and give voice to the Black British experience through its lyrics, themes and messaging. Matumbi was critical in developing the British reggae sound, and Bovell went on to record other musical projects that were key in shaping the early days of reggae, dub and lover's rock. He also reflects on his time engineering for artists in different scenes, like the German electronic duo Saâda Bonaire, the Japanese band Yellow Magic Orchestra and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Bovell's unique ability to bring together different musical styles at the peripheries of dub made him a highly sought-after collaborator with a knack for navigating delicate dynamics in the industry, especially for Black artists.

Porque iré adonde tú vayas y viviré donde tú vivas. Tu pueblo será mi pueblo y tu Dios será mi Dios. Moriré donde tú mueras y allí seré sepultada. ¡Que me castigue el SEÑOR con toda severidad si me separa de ti algo que no sea la muerte!'. Al ver Noemí que Rut estaba tan decidida a acompañarla, no insistió más (Rut 1:16-18).En un campamento juvenil en Bonaire, tras una noche de historias y reflexiones, una joven se me acercó. Su mirada transmitía una serenidad profunda. "Quiero compartirte algo que me impactó fuerte hoy", me dijo. Habíamos estado hablando de lealtad, y ella tenía en su corazón la historia de Rut y Noemí. "¿Conoces esa parte donde Rut le dice a Noemí que no la va a dejar? -empezó-. Es fuerte, ¿verdad?" Asentí, capturado por la intensidad de su voz."Me hizo pensar en lo que significa estar ahí para alguien       -continuó- Noemí estaba perdiendo todo, y Rut podría haber buscado un camino más fácil. Pero no, ella escogió quedarse, escogió la lealtad por encima de la comodidad, incluso cuando el futuro era un signo de interrogación gigante".La joven se sentó en una roca, mirando las estrellas, y siguió su reflexión. "En este mundo donde todo pasa, donde a veces las amistades parecen páginas de Instagram que desaparecen en 24 horas, la historia de Rut me desafía a ser diferente. A ser de esas personas que dicen 'estaré contigo' y lo cumplen, sin importar las tempestades"."La lealtad inquebrantable de Rut no es solo una historia antigua -concluyó. Es un llamado a ser incondicionales, a amar en serio, a ser un ancla para otros. Me pregunto: ¿Podemos ser como Rut hoy? ¿Podemos hacer ese tipo de promesas y mantenerlas?"Sus palabras me acompañaron esa noche, y resonaron en mi mente con cada que rompía en la orilla. Supe que esa lealtad, esa elección de acompañar a otro en su viaje, es una de las formas más genuinas de amor: un reflejo del amor incondicional de Dios.Oración: Ayúdame, Señor, a cultivar relaciones basadas en la lealtad y compromiso inquebrantable. 

Instinto Nativo Bienvenidos Bastarnautas a un episodio de esos que la oferta musical comprende un abanico amplio y chingon. Noventeamos con una selección entre Lenny Kravitz, Massive atack y algo osado de nuestro tocayo Ol' dirty bastard. Para luego irnos por Heart over head de sada Bonaire y cerrar con broche de oro con algo finísimo de Childish gambino. Mientras nos entretenemos con temas absurdos y banalidades que no tienen sentido alguno. Así que péinate las patillas , desabrochaté el cinturón, saca la panza y suéltate la greña para permitirte una inmersión en nuestra cabina donde fluye el vermouth el gin y la buena música.

(Día Internacional para la Abolición de la Esclavitud) «Las primeras descripciones de Colón sobre los indios se referían a los lucayos. Luego éstas fueron atribuidas a todos los indios de Quisqueya. Dice el Almirante: “Eran de hermosos gestos y cuerpos”... tenían “buen ingenio” y debían de ser “buenos servidores”.... »... En cuatro o cinco años... entre 1508 y 1513, ante la indetenible disminución de los indios autóctonos encomendados... llegaron a la Isla [Española] cerca de cuarenta mil [lucayos, también llamados] yucayos. Estos arribaron, en su mayoría, por Puerto Plata y Puerto Real, porque estos puertos quedan más cerca de las Islas Lucayas.... llamadas “Islas Inútiles” por los españoles... entre otras, Curazao, Aruba y [Bonaire].... También sabemos, por [Fray Bartolomé de] Las Casas, que “diez o doce vecinos de La Vega y Santiago [de los Caballeros] juntaban diez o doce mil pesos oro, con los que compraban dos o tres navíos, [tomando] a sueldo cincuenta o sesenta hombres, entre [ellos] marineros, y se iban a las Islas a secuestrar indios”.... »... El licenciado Morquecho narra con brutal realismo la captura de los indios de las “Islas Inútiles”: “Obraban (los captores) con mucha soltura; robaban indios [y] atormentaban a otros para que les dijeran dónde había otros ranchos [y bohíos] para traer más indios.... Tomaban las indias que más les [placían]... fuesen casadas o no... [y] se echaban con ellas [y] azotaban a muchos [y] les [hacían y] daban otros tormentos [y] los tenían presos [y] agrupados en ciertos ranchos.... Allí morían de hambre.” »“Las armadas” para la obtención de estos indios tenían pocos gastos, pues... se “proveían mal las carabelas”, sin alimentos.... Por tanto... los infelices “yucayos y gigantes”... se caían de hambre al desembarcarlos en Puerto Plata. La mayor parte, si no morían en la travesía, morían después. El máximo promotor de estas “armadas” fue el licenciado Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón, quien se empeñó grandemente con este infame comercio. Ayllón tenía en Puerto Plata una hacienda especial para reacondicionar y engordar... a estos indios antes de “herrarlos” como esclavos y venderlos [a bajo precio... 24 pesos de oro] en la plaza pública de Santiago.... »... Allí los “herradores”... Esteban de la Fuente, Martín Hernández, García Caxco y otros... marcaban con hierro al rojo... a los esclavos yucayos, con una marca especial en los brazos, piernas y pechos. A los indios gigantes les ponían, tatuados singularmente con tinta indeleble, los nombres de sus amos.»1 Así nos describe el historiador dominicano Carlos Dobal los indecibles tormentos que sufrieron los indios lucayos «en los albores del siglo XVI». Sin embargo, más insufrible aún es que padecieran semejantes tormentos a manos de quienes tenían la misión de cristianizarlos. El Misionero Máximo del cristianismo, Jesucristo mismo, ya había sufrido en su propio cuerpo por ellos, llevando a la cruz sus pecados, pagando así el precio supremo para rescatarlos de la esclavitud al pecado que heredaron de sus antepasados.2 Más vale que decidamos hoy mismo que el precio que pagó Cristo por nuestro rescate, no en pesos de oro sino con su sangre,3 al menos en el caso nuestro no haya sido en vano.

Send us a textHello passionate cruisers, this is Paul. This week on The Joy Of Cruising Podcast Cheryl and I will share our reflections on our recent cruise—a 9-day sailing to the Southern Caribbean—A, B, C Islands aboard Celebrity Cruises newest ship, the latest in its Edge-class, the Ascent. A, B, C  is an acronym for Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. The full itinerary of Ascent was embarkation at FLL followed by a sea day; a stop at Cayman/Georgetown, a seaday, then Aruba, Curacao, and Bonaire, then 2 sea days on the way back to Ft. Lauderdale. We've gone on longer cruises and enjoyed the extra time but after a while Cheryl is like “I need land” like she said on our 16-day transatlantic with 8 straight sea days. The cruise was 9-days, a sweet spot for us; 7-days is just not quite long enough. This cruise was special in several ways. It was a celebration of our anniversary which was 3-weeks prior in October. A cruise on Celebrity Ascent was a direct challenge to our as yet favorite cruise which was on Ascent's sister ship in Celebrity's Edge Class, the Celebrity Beyond two years prior. I often proudly mention in the same sentence that the CEO at Celebrity who launched the Edge Class—Lisa Lutoff Perlo, was a guest on the The Joy Of Cruising Podcast and she too selected Beyond as her personal favorite. Lisa launched the Celebrity Edge, Apex, and the Beyond before her move back to Royal Caribbean.Most significantly was the sentimental aspect of this trip. Aruba is where we celebrated our honeymoon, and this was our first return back in 32 years. Support the showSupport thejoyofcruisingpodcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/2113608/supporters/newSupport Me https://www.buymeacoffee.com/drpaulthContact Me https://www.thejoyofcruising.net/contact-me.htmlBook Cruises https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingPodcast-BookACruiseUS Orders (coupon code joyofcruisingpodcast)The Joy of Cruising https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingCruising Interrupted https://bit.ly/CruisingInterruptedThe Joy of Cruising Again https://bit.ly/TheJoyOfCruisingAgainIntl Orders via Amazon

A Conversation on Slowing Down, Soul Care, and Lingering with God with Jodi GrubbsDuring this episode, we are learning how to slow down and spend intentional time with God as He sets our rhythms.PSALM 46:10 NIVHe says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,I will be exalted in the earth.”MEET JODIAfter assuming the rapid pace and stress of city living in the States, Jodi Grubbs realized God was bidding her to return to the “island time” of her childhood home. Evoking the gentle rhythms of Bonaire in the Caribbean, Jodi invites you to a life anchored by the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an openhandedness before God.
