Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Thursday Aug. 8, 2024.  Started in a Fort Hill basement, Charleston's Echo-Lit delivers its educational art to a world stage…Nitro's teaching apiary helps share beekeeping benefits with kids and veterans…and a Ritchie County knifemaker handcrafts his products with precision and care…on today's daily304. #1 – From GAZETTE-MAIL –  Every small business has a story. For Echo-Lit, it begins in a basement. Jeanne Stevenson and her husband Chris Rice started the educational media company from their Fort Hill basement in 2008. The company steadily grew, and the couple now runs their production from a building in the Elk City district on Charleston's West Side. The company produces quality educational prints using original and unique art while supporting local artists, Stevenson said. What began in a basement now has a worldwide reach: Echo-Lit was recently recognized by state economic development officials as one of 23 West Virginia companies that grew their business by exporting goods or services to a new country last year. The company has exported to Canada and Australia as well as numerous countries in Europe and Asia.

Last week, the 7-year-old eagerly suited up in his yellow beekeeping jacket and walked into the teaching apiary--a place where people can learn about beekeeping and bees' roles in the environment. MJ's father Martin Ellis also owns honeybees. Martin Ellis, a veteran, said the interest in bees that he and his son both share began a year ago and was sparked from visiting this same teaching apiary.  Brothers Clint and David Baker tend to the Nitro apiary. The third-generation beekeepers started their company--Hillbilly Hippie Honeybees--in memory of their father. One of their goals is to teach veterans and kids like Martin and MJ about the benefits of bees. The Bakers came together with other Nitro residents to form the Nitro Sustainable Community, which holds monthly workshops and teaches the community about beekeeping, food canning, and more.

Watching his grandfather create knives—an essential tool anywhere, but especially in the Mountain State—put the idea in Pratt's mind that he could do it, too. He experimented, drawing designs of his own. Eventually, those drawings grew into the business he runs today: Bonds Creek Knives. The knives are forged by hand with a 25-ton press in the Ritchie County shop. Pratt's wife and son pitch in, too, handling sales or helping with the 3D printed keychains that come with each purchase.  Forging is hard, he says, but he wouldn't have it any other way. “There's something about being exhausted and actually holding a physical product that you've made from start to finish—that's pretty satisfying.” Read more: https://wvliving.com/west-virginia-knives-lovingly-made/   Find these stories and more at wv.gov/daily304.

About 20 years ago I was doing bird surveys for my graduate research all through the Cape Cod National Seashore – I had over 300 survey points from Fort Hill in Eastham to Wood End in Provincetown, and I knew the park, including deep, off-trail areas, as well as anyone.

Making time for YOU is just as important as both!If you are saying yes to everything, you are also saying no to many other opportunities. Keep this in mind when agreeing to obligations!Cosmetic and spa offerings can be a big draw for your practice. Try keeping up with what patients want in addition to a dental experience.In the US Army, Sana learned to take a conservative approach to procedures. Sometimes if a procedure isn't needed immediately, patients appreciate you working with their schedule and feelings.Do not count on team members to stick with you forever!

It's made for the desert. No, that's good. That's good. I, I hear Tampa Bay, it's really beautiful. So It is, yeah. Sana: I, my husband and I talk about it all the time, like it feels like we're on vacation. Mm-hmm. every day, and I'm like, wait, we live here.This is kinda cool. . So like, if we go to the beach, it's not like we have to like, pack up and like go to our hotel. We're like, okay, now we just have to drive to our house. So this is cool. Yeah. So it's nice. It, it definitely is a nice, nice place to Michael: be. Nice. Awesome. Okay, so son, tell us a little bit about your past, your present.How did you get to where you are today? Sana: Okay. I was like, how, how far back are we going? I was July 10th, 1991. I was born, no, I'm just kidding. , you were born Michael: July 10th, 1991. Sana: I was, yeah. I'm a. I'm Michael: 30. I'm 31. Sana: I'm 31. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Millennial as it gets, that's Michael: millennial as it gets. Okay, cool. So then talk to us about, I dunno, you can go as far back as you want, but like, okay.I Sana: won't go that far back. It's kind of boring. Like, you know, tons of like generational traumas and like all that, like stuff that you're trying to like break through and like, whatever. So we won't go through all that stuff that's like for therapy, but like professional. Right. Okay. So I, um, graduated high school oh nine and I went straight into like, um, Seven year dental program at Detroit Mercy. So, , I did three years undergrad and then you go like automatically into dental school as long as you like D a T scores, science, gpa, all that stuff. Mm-hmm. . So, I kind of decided, I was like, Hey, like I don't wanna live in Detroit for seven years of my life.I was born in Detroit, so that's cool. But I grew up in like suburbs of Chicago, so like I don't wanna live in Detroit. So I kind of decided, hey, I'm gonna get my bachelor's in three years so that way I can apply to any dental school I want and then I can move back home to Chicago. So that was like always the goal.Mm-hmm. . So I took, I remember one summer I took 21 credit hours of summer school at three different community colleges, Michael: and I was pregnant. Sana: And you were pregnant? And I was pregnant, yes. Surprise, surprise team mom. Anyways, everybody knows that, but it's fine. Who? Whoever didn't know it now knows it.Yeah. So I had a son when I was 19, but um, yeah, so like the summer that I was pregnant with him, I took 21 summer, like 21 credit hours of summer school. Mm-hmm. at three different community colleges. Cause I was like, no, I have to like, I have to graduate in three years. Like that's just my goal now. So I took all the like sociology and psycho, all the like required for your degree, but like not science courses all in summer.So graduated when I was 20 from college. That was cool. That was 2012 and then started dental school immediately. And so I did get into school back in Chicago. I went to Midwestern University in Downers Grove. So I did four years there. I decided to join the Army after I got outta our dental school. So I did the H P S P scholarship.Um, I commissioned when I was still an undergrad, so was in the army, got out. got outta dental school, became active duty in the Army. So that was four years. 2016 is when I graduated dental school. So 2016 to 2020 I was in, in the Army. I was stationed at Fort Hill, Oklahoma. So that's my, my lawyer.Okay. Yeah, . So I was stationed at Fort Sill, so I did four years active duty, which was fun, difficult, definitely, you know, you're kind of like trying to be a soldier, but also trying to be a dentist, trying to figure out how to be a soldier. Also, still trying to figure out how to be a dentist. So it was a lot of like figuring out for four years.and then I decided after I did my four year commitment that we were, yeah. That I was gonna get out. and I wanted to kind of explore private practice and like just being like a civilian dentist. So immediately that happened right when Covid started. So it's like a whole thing where like, . I felt like the world was ending.I mean, I'm sure everybody did when Covid ended, right? But I was getting out of the army where like everything is guaranteed benefits, guaranteed pay. Like, oh, I'm sitting at home because everything is shut down and I'm getting paid and I have like my Tricare medical benefits for my entire family and everything is great and dandy.And I was like giving up all of that security to like jump into like the real world where I'm like, I have to pay $1,500 a month to have health insurance for my children. what? Do you guys need it? Are you okay? Like, can you not fall down? Don't get sick. How about that? Like just, just drink your orange juice, like Rick Juice, like let's save $1,500.Like what is And. . I remember like, so when I was getting out of the army, my husband and I were both from Chicago, so we're like, okay, like let's, we were trying to like decide like, what do we wanna do? Like, do we move back to Chicago? Do we like pick somewhere new? Do we move to Texas? Like, what are we doing?And like, just, we were like, okay, we're gonna move to Florida. So literally we're like, Hey, now where do we move in Florida? Do we go to Miami? We're like, no, that's like two party. Party. And like, we're trying to like have a family and like kids , I don't wanna be in South Beach. Like if I'm down there, I'm gonna wanna be at South Beach and like ha like at a party.And I also my mom, and so I have kids so I can, that I, okay, we can't go to Miami. Miami is off the table. So, okay. How about Orlando? And I'm like, no. Like I hate traffic. And also like, it's very touristy. So like, okay, we're not moving to Orlando. And so we're like, all right, let's move Tampa. Like, Tampa's like up and coming.Like I was like, it's like the Austin of Florida. Like that's like the way I had like term, I was like, it's the Austin of Florida. Yeah. Cause my like, best friend lives lives in Austin and so we like moved here and this is like before Tom Brady was here. Michael: Cause I thought you were following Tom Brady, but nevermind. Sana: Yeah. I was like, before selling Tampa, like we were here just like, so I didn't move here cause everybody's moving here. We literally picked it and we're like, we're gonna go there. So, yeah. So we moved here like June of 2020. So it's like, what the height of Covid, like the middle of Covid.Mm-hmm. . And as I'm like moving, so my husband got, my husband's a high school teacher, so he like got a job. He was like ready to go. And then I had a job, like as an associate everything's shut down. And so like we're moving here in June and in April they're like, Hey, like by the way, we have to pull your contract.Like, sorry, you can't work here. And we're like, what? I'm like, wait, hold on. Excuse me. like I just can't work here for like the month of April and May because I wasn't gonna be there anyways. Like it's fine. Yeah. And they're like, no, never like until we figure out what's happening with Covid. I was like, people still need dentists during Covid.It's fine. I'll wear a mask. I need a job. You need a dentist? I'm coming. that didn't happen. That didn't happen. So they pulled my contract and I was like, in my head I was like, do I just like stay in the army? I was like, oh, so I should just stay in the army. Like that's like my logical thing.I was like, pull my packet. Like I'm sit, captain Yiv is staying, guys, don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'm still here. Don't worry. Like not leaving. But my husband's like, no, I have a job in Florida. Like, we're moving. Like, it's fine. We'll figure it out. My husband's like very, like, we'll figure it out. And I'm like, no.Like we must plan. Like I must have a plan for my plan for the backup plan. Like that's how I am. So we're like very opposite and he just is very like, go with it. So like in my head, like, we're moving here. I was like, we should like rent a place, get the lay of the land, like figure it out. Like, and my husband's like, no, I don't wanna move twice.Like, we're just gonna, we should just buy a house when we get, we should just buy a house. And I'm like, dude, like it's covid. Like we have, we haven't, we can't fly there to look at house. We don't need to look at it. They can FaceTime us. is that? What happened? Michael: Yes. , Sana: My husband was like, no, it's fine.They can just FaceTime us. That's fine. So the realtor literally like FaceTimed us. We like saw this house. She sent us some videos and we're like, all right, like let, yeah, let's, okay, let's buy it. Sure. Cool. So like we bought this house site, zine, site unseen. Michael: Is it better than what you expected or worse?Sana: Yeah, I'm like so grateful. I'm like I said, a prayer. My husband actually, like, I was still like filing out, so I couldn't leave Oklahoma as soon as he could. Cause I still have to do like all my paperwork and whatever with the army. And we like got a call like, Hey, your furniture's gonna get delivered on Monday.And we're like, wait, what? Like you guys said it was gonna take two weeks. So like we're all planning like two weeks. Like it'll be perfect timing. So, Once it goes into storage, like, I don't know, I'm sure like everybody who's listening who has done like a military move understands like, do not put your stuff in the storage if it is gonna get delivered straight to your house.Like you accept it, you accept the shipment to your house and you drive 19 hours without stopping to Florida to get your household goods. Otherwise you'll see it in 90 days. Yeah, because once it's a storage, it's gone. So literally my husband and my son got in a car and drove from Oklahoma to Florida.Saturday they left and then Monday our stuff got delivered and they were there to accept the shipment. So anyways, and my husband like calls me, he's like, wow, babe. The front hall's actually a lot bigger than it looked like in the video. And I'm like, I'm so glad that's unthankful . Michael: Really? This is the one thing I wantedSana: It's like I'm so glad that it's like a welcoming the entryway. This is so good. Yeah, so it's so funny. But yeah, so we moved here 2020. Thankfully I like found an associate position. literally in May, we got here in June and like in May, I was just like submitting my Indeed application to like everybody and their mom.And I was like, oh, like you would like somebody at this nursing home to check people's dentures. Of course, yes. Please take my application. Yes, I will come do that. That's what you need. I will do that. . It was, I literally, I think I submitted my, I think people are still responding to my Indeed applications like three years later.we found a great position for you. I was like, not interested, not looking. Thank you. Stop. Stop. S t stop. Unsubscribe, . So yeah, I literally applied to everything that I could think of. So got a job that was cool. Started my first associate position like two weeks after I moved down here. And so at that point it was,It's like culture shock. Like all of a sudden I'm like a dentist in private practice and it's very different than being a dentist in the military. And all of a sudden you're like, oh, like people have to pay for the things that I'm telling them. Like it's just not all free and included. Yeah. And then they don't trust me.Like they think I'm just trying to make money off of them. And I'm like, no, like I'm telling you this because like, you need this, right? Like you need these fillings or you need this crown. And they're like, like, you just want me to pay for your Mercedes. I was like, dude, I drive a Volkswagen, but thank you.Michael: But I would like a Mercedes. So Sana: yes, those are expensive. Tell me about it. How do I ? So if you do this, actually you know what? You should let your tooth fall out. So then you need a, an extraction and then auto the input. And that'll help me pay. Michael: That'll help pay. Yeah. that was like a culture shock then, Sana: It was very like sticker shock and like, honestly, okay, coming from the military, like that was my first experience as a dentist was like dental school where everything's like $5 and nobody cares how you do it because you're a student and you're just trying to learn. And then it's the military where it's like everything's free because they're all soldiers and we're like serving the soldier.We're like getting the soldiers ready for going down range and like being deployable and whatever. and this is gonna sound really bad, but I'm gonna tell you guys the truth. I'm gonna say the truth. in the Army, I got paid exactly the same if I did a filling or I did a crown, or if I watched Game of Thrones in my office.Like, if I told you you needed a filling, it's because you really needed it. I would've preferred to be watching something in my office, I'm getting paid to like sit here and like type some things and like eat my food and like watch Netflix on my phone. I got paid the exact same.So like, yeah, for me, like that's kind of where I got my like treatment planning philosophies was like, oh, you absolutely need, like, you need this and so we're gonna do it. And I think that's, I mean, of course all dentists do that, right? Like, you need this, we're gonna do it. Some people are a little bit more aggressive on the treatment planning side.Some people are a little bit more conservative. I'm very conservative. Like, I would like to give you the benefit of the doubt. Like let's watch if we can. And if I'm like, no, like we can't watch 86 things like you, you need fillings. Sorry. Mm-hmm. . But I think that was kind of. . The switch for me was like, I'm telling people they need these things because they really need them.I wanna be watching tv. You need these fillings. I'm doing these fillings for you. So now I'm in the real world and people are like, well, you just want me to pay for your car. But I'm like, no, but you really just need these fillings. you're not paying for my car. I don't understand what's happening right now.And so it was, it was like a very like, weird, like and it was like, also like covid. And everybody's like, well, can you put your mask? I was like, I have two masks on. Thank you. what do you want from me? I don't understand what I'm a yellow banana suit. I have three masks on. I don't, I don't get it.Like, and you don't want this filling, and I don't want to do this filling. So I'm gonna get covid because I'm doing this filling on you. yeah, yeah. I have the short end of the stick here, guys. I don't want $26 and 15 cents from Humana for this filling, but you need it. So here we are. And like, yeah.So that was like deep dive, like into like private practice. , and I mean, I technically worked for like a corporate office mm-hmm. , and it was a, it was a different type of like, corporate, it wasn't like corporate, corporate, it was just like, like more private practice feel, but still corporate. I don't know if that makes sense.But Yeah. I mean, and there were some like really great things about it and some knots. So really great things about it. I did find myself, and maybe it's like my, innate leadership ability, I guess, if you wanna call it, or like my four years in the Army where I was like forced to be a leader.So now I'm always just like thinking of like, how can we do things better? How can we do this more productive, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever. So I'm over here like, just turning this dude's practice around basically like a mini like owner. Like, okay, like guys, like, we need to like really hone in on our ordering.Like, why are we ordering 86 different types of composite? We don't need that. Like, we use two things. So let's like stick to those two things. Mm-hmm. , like whatever, like, just like really streamlining things and like, Switched the whole practice around. Everybody's like, wow, we like patients, staff.Everybody's like, we just love coming here. It's so great. And I'm like, oh, you're welcome guys. I'm And yeah, so then at that moment I was like, wait, I'm like doing this for somebody else. So like why don't I do this for me? And that's kind of like where like the whole like switch happened a little bit where I was like, well, I should, I could, I could do this for myself.Okay. So I'm also like very like squirrel brained. So like all of this is gonna connect, I promise this will all connect. It's connect. Yeah. It's connected. Yeah. So I'm gonna pause that story for a second. I'm gonna tell another story and then I'm gonna connect the two stories. Okay. Okay. So whoever, maybe if somebody like from the Texas State Board can like message me on Instagram and tell me how this happened, feel free.But when I was in the military, so I was in Oklahoma, which was right above Texas, and so I had my Texas license and my Oklahoma license. . I got my Texas license in 2017, just like for reference of timeframe. I got my Texas license and then all of a sudden I get a call from somebody and they were like, Hey, where from blah, blah, blah.Like real estate company. Like are you interested in like opening up your own practice? And like, and so, you know, we'd love to help you like find some space, whatever. Actually I think I can just say it like, it's fine. Cuz they helped me. This is why I ended it was Excite Realty. a, a healthcare realty firm or whatever.So they have an office in Texas. They have an office in Florida. So, calls me, this guy calls me, what was his name? Tristan, Tristan called me and I was like, no, Tristan, I'm in the Army. Like I am not looking to open my prac.Like, I'm literally like active duty military. Like I'm not opening a practice. Like, thank you. And I'm like also not very like. , please don't call me. Stop calling me. I was like, yeah, like, not right now. Tristan, thanks for calling. Like have a great day, whatever. Okay. He's like, all right, sounds good. I guess he like kept me on his list.Mm-hmm. , because he literally called me every October until 2021. Oh man. Yeah, he was like very persistent. Tristan was very persistent and so it's like 2017 all the way, 2021. So like at this point, so he calls me in 2021 and this time I was like, yo, I'm not even in Oklahoma anymore, bro. I don't even have my Texas license anymore.Like, so I like, at this point I was like a little bit more assertive also, I had an eight month old baby, so I was like probably sleep deprived. just all the things like, yeah, you know what? So I just was like, Kristen, stop calling me. So this was the first time in like, what, five years that I said it to him, Hey Tristan, listen, I'm not in Oklahoma.I'm not in Texas. I'm not gonna open a practice in Texas. Like I just, what? Can you take me off the call list? Like, thank you so much. He's like, oh doctor, real quick. Where are you? I was like, I live in Florida now. I live in Florida. And he was like, oh, we have a branch in Florida, bro. What? ? Michael: Yeah. I Sana: was like, Christine.I was like, and so, okay, fine. You know what? I was like, literally, and I remember this, I literally remember this because I was so, I was like nursing my daughter, she was eight months old. I'm sitting in the car at the outlet mall, like, so I don't remember my mother-in-law, somebody was in the mall and I was like, I'm just gonna sit in the car nurse her, like, just leave me alone.So, and I answered the phone to tell him, please stop calling me. And then he's like telling me like, well we have a, we have a location in Florida. And I'm like, Tristan, . Okay, what do I have to pay you? Like, let's just start there. Like what does this cost me? Like you keep telling me like, what does this cost me?And so this is like at that junction where I'm like doing all this for this other guy, like building up his practice and I'm like, I should do this for myself. Then Tristan calls me and I'm like, well, okay, maybe I should like entertain it. Like, okay, Tristan, how much does it cost? And he is like, oh, you don't pay anything.The landlord pays for it. I was like, this is Bri. Why did you start with that in 2017? Dude? open with that. Open with this doesn't cost you anything. Like maybe I would've been nicer for the last five years. Who would've thought? Yeah, so, okay, all right. I was like, all right, okay, let's give this the shot.And this was like kind of when my startup journey like began, oh no, sorry, this is October of 2020. So this is, yeah, 20, 23 years. Three years there. Mm-hmm. 20 17, 20 20, yeah. October of 2020. So I was like, okay, fine. Entertain me. That's fine. Let's see. So I gave him like what my like. to do my list was like what?Like what I want. Perfect practice, whatever. And like the place that I live is very like up and coming, so it's not like established. And there's a lot of like families coming in here. So like everybody from like California and New York. everybody that's like coming down here from there is like now moving to Wesley Chapel. So it's very like up and coming. So this is also where I live. And so I was like, Hey guys, like I want a practice like where I live.Okay. Like in retrospect, maybe I shouldn't have done that, but that's a whole other story. But I was like, I want something like close to home, like two minutes from my house, I can go home for lunch. Like this is great. Like that's what I want. So it's very specific. Is Michael: it right now two minutes from your house?Sana: five minutes from my house. Yeah. Oh man. Yeah. Yeah. Like we can't be that. so I gave him like this like list where I was like, this is like finding a unicorn, they won't be able to do this.Mm-hmm. . And I took, I was like, look, I really like my position. I'm making good money. I'm happy in what I'm doing. The thought has crossed my mind if the stars in the moon align, like, yeah, maybe I'll do it. So off you go, do your homework. Bye. So obviously like this area's up and coming, there's no practice acquisitions because everybody is a millennial dentist, so they're not retiring.Mm-hmm. , or they're like too young to be retiring. So there's no nothing to acquire around here. So it's all like, it has to be a startup. So we're looking, looking, looking. We found a few places like, you know, and so like the type of person I am, I'm always like prepared for like the other shoe to drop, right?So I told Tristan, all right, yeah, dude, put me in touch with your Florida guy. Let's do it whatever. Florida dude contacts me and then give him his homework. And I'm like, he's not gonna find anything, but that's fine. So I'm just waiting, like at some point I was like, this entire process will end somewhere.it won't ever complete because they won't find a location, we won't find the lease, the construction budget will be out of wac, like whatever, right? Like something's just not gonna align and then it won't happen. Mm-hmm. . So we started this search October of 2020 for reference. I signed my lease in July of 2021, October, 2020 to July of 2021.So, and we started like Lois and stuff in March of 2021. . So it took me a while. Mm-hmm. for us to like really just like get things together. and again, like I said, the entire time I'm waiting for like the other shoe to drop. So, yeah. So we like found a place, it was this really awesome, like in an ortho building, and I was like, oh, this is perfect.Like there's an orthodontist in this building, there's this like endo, there's perio, and then like, I can be here. Like this is cool. Like everybody I would refer to is like just right around me. Anyways, like that was the first LOI I put in, and that didn't go anywhere because the guy decided to like, keep it for himself.I'm like, bro, why would you waste my time? Like, yeah, it's fine, whatever. So then we put in like an L LOI at another place, which I had a feeling like it wasn't gonna work at that place, but I just like rolled with the punches. I'm like, all right, yeah, whatever, whatever. So we put in our l o I and in there in my head, like I had already put in there that I wanna have like cosmetic procedures.potentially Botox, fillers, whatever, that type of stuff. I wanna be able to do it at some point. Mm-hmm. . And they were like, yeah, no, you can't do that. Like, there's an ALTA in this plaza so you can't do cosmetic procedures. I'm like, what? Michael: Isn't Alta like just like hair? Or let's Sana: make up, I was like, I was like, because the, because they do free makeup if you buy $50 worth of makeup.And that's considered called is. Is that what like, wait, I have no idea. He like, wouldn't give me any insight. I was like, bro, what? Like literally I was just like, what? I was so confused and so like, I tried like a little bit to negotiate this leave. Mm-hmm. and I was like, ok, fine. I can look past that. Like this is like on the second floor and Okay.Like everybody knows how complicated dental plumbing is. Right? So the first floor, like whatever was below that space, was already like built out. Mm-hmm. . So we had told them like we would need to go through their ceiling. to do our plumbing, but we'll do it like after hours on the weekends. Like we will not disrupt business hours.And the landlord's like, Nope, not allowed. We're like, can we like ask the the person else it? I was like, no. He was like, no, not allowed. We're like, all right, well here's your l o I. Here's your lease. Bye. Like, okay, this. So like at that point I'm like, see guys, like this is why I'm not committed to anything.Like, cuz I knew what was gonna happen. Yeah. I already lost like two places at this point. I've spent like $5,000 on lease reviews to go nowhere. I'm like, well this is just really stupid. I'm like, this is a lot of money. And I was like, now I need to go work extra hours at my job. Like, this is dumb. Yeah. So then I found this.and we're like, okay, so we're doing the lease review. And like the landlord here, same thing was like, there was just like so much back and forth. They have never like leased out to a dentist. So they just trusted nothing because we don't have, like, I don't have like a solid business plan. It's like me, my word document that I made with all my projected things that I'm like, I can accomplish all of these things because I believe in myself and here's my business plan and this is what most dentists do and this is what's projected.And here you go, enjoy. Right? And they're like, yeah, no, that's like not real. Like this is all made up. And I'm like, you're right, it is. I made it all up. It was really great . And they're like, great. I made all that up. It's so great. I made it up on my kitchen table, so it's fine. Yeah. Um, yeah. And so that was very difficult for them to like, trust us.Like, trust me. Mm-hmm. , they're like, you won't be able to pay your rent. I was like, I mean, your rent's a little high, so, Couldn't Michael: negotiate that down a little bit. Negotiate, you're probably right. Sana: Little high's a little high, but whatever. so, yeah. So we ended up negotiating that lease and it worked out and I signed my lease July of 2021 and that was it.And then we signed the lease and we were here. Okay. So that's like one pause, that's like one story. We're gonna pause right there. Okay. Okay. So I have three kids by the way. Okay. So I, three kids. I have a 12 year old, I have a three-year-old and I have a nine month old. Yeah. So, yeah. So after my second, yes, so after I had my first two kids, I was like, yeah, like I'm not having, I'm not having any more kids.Like I can't. Maybe t m i, but whatever, like real life here it is. Like I had fertility problems, so like mm-hmm. , having my daughter was very difficult. And like after going through that, my husband are like, okay. Yeah. Like, okay, we're good. Like we got one boy, we got one girl. Like, it's good. Like we're done.Yeah. Okay. So like, that's fine. Right. Okay. Tell me why. Like August of 2021, I found out I was Michael: as soon as you, when did you sign the, in July of 2021. And then in August. How were you, talk to me about that thought process when that happened. Like how were you thinking in the sense of like, why me, why now? Or were you like, this is great, this is fantastic. Sana: No, I was like, so how do I get outta his leaseI was like, wait a minute. Ok. I was like, it's fine. Right? It's fine. We can get out of it. Like, dude, I signed a 15 year lease. it's a very long lease. Yeah. So, yeah, no, I was like, what? That can't be right. That's, that's not true. That's not true life. And it was, it was a very true life. And I remember when my, when I started with my consultant, he told me two things, do not make any big purchases and do not get pregnant.Who is your consultant? Mike Ncio. Next level consultant. Okay. Yeah, Michael: yeah, yeah. How do you like Sana: working with them? Oh my god, he was amazing. Awesome. I think I referred like everybody to him and he is awesome. So everybody who's watching this should also go call Mike because he is literally amazing. And all of this would not be here if it wasn't for him.because he got me through a lot of crap, like a lot like dude, I was like a hormonal person, right? Like my diapers are really Michael: expensive. Diapers are, they still aren't really expensive. They're expensive. And Sana: I just sleep trained My eight month old or how old is she? No, she's a year and a half. Oh God, no.My son now is nine months old. Kidding. Everything confused. Like that's how discombobulated I am. But yeah, no, Mike really helped me through a lot of stuff. And so I called him and I was like, Hey Mike, I have to tell you something. And I remember this like, he was the, besides my husband, who also didn't believe me that I was pregnant.Mike was the second person that I told that I was pregnant. And he also didn't believe me. He like thought I was joking. Yeah. And I was like, no, I'm not. Like I'm, I'm serious. I'm so serious. p my entire like buildout, I was also building a human inside my body. That was kind. Yeah. So, yes.Michael: That's pretty intense. Mm. That's Sana: okay. And so we opened in March of 2022. My son was born on four 20 of 2022. Michael: Yeah. Sana: Wait, did you catch his Michael: birthday April? Oh, oh, okay. I was like, I thought just a month later, I don't get it, but No, yeah, yeah, I get it. Sana: But yes, it was a month later, literally, so like I opened and it was, I was like literally nine months pregnant when I opened.And then I had my son a week a month later, and then two weeks after I had him, you better believe I did 17 fillings on my first day back, man. Michael: Yeah. So, okay. So you opened your practice, right? Yeah. And we can talk about, like, a little bit about the whole part of, uh, opening up. I actually wanted to go back a little bit and talk about that generational trauma, but we can do that another episode or something like that.But when it comes to the opening up the practice and now you're, how many months or years open now? Sana: so 11 months open now. Michael: Okay. And has, how does the trajectory look? Has it been like Sana: okay, so it was like this, okay, so we are like hyping up to like open, like open, and then it's like give birth, boom,Okay, cool. So it's like, okay, so, so we're here like, oh, everything's really cool. People like this pregnant dentist. Like, okay, she's so cute. Oh my God, you're having a baby. Oh, practice. We're so proud of you have a baby. Literally like rapid decline. And then I came, so I came back from maternity leave, like I came back from maternity.Okay. Just two weeks count as maternity leave. No, it doesn't. I came back from giving birth. Yeah, right. 10 days later. Okay. I was like, I'll be back from vacation guys. I'll be our B. Just, yeah. Don't let anything break when I, you know, until I get back. Literally. . So then when I got back I was only seeing patients like once a week because I was like, guys, I just had a baby.Like I need to heal a little bit. So like Michael: need to heal. You just gave life, you need to heal a little bit. Sana: Also some stitches like, don't mind me, but like I, you know, one day a week. Yeah. So came back one day a week and then in, so that was like all of May. I was here for one day a week and then in June is when I came back, like came back from maternity leave.So that was like three days a week. And then in May I'm just like trying to like build this back up like very slowly to like get ready for June. So we're like building back up. And then my hygienist, cause I hired a hygienist cause I hate h sorry, hygienist, but like, it's probably like for the benefit of my patients that everybody doesn't get a deep cleaning.Cuz if I see them, that's what they would get. Oh. Because it's I don't have the hands of an angel. So. . I have a hygienist against all the things that everybody says for startups, you don't need it, do your own hygiene, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. Anyways, I got a hygienist, so literally as I'm like recovering from birth giving, she gives me her notice cuz she's like, Hey.Yeah, right. Freaking heartland. She was like, Hey Doc, like I need benefits and this Heartland office is gonna like give me medical insurance for my kid. And I was like, you know, like I respect that. Mm-hmm. and I like, can't be mad at you for it. So thank you for the couple of days that you gave me. Good luck.I'll send you your W2 next year. And, uh, how many Michael: employees at this time have you had? Sana: okay. I feel like I have a lot of employees. Again, another topic for another day because against all startup things, I think I have like, I'm like, just like way overstaffed, but like in a good way. How many do you have right now?Oh my God. Okay. Lemme count. I'm my office manager, Diana. I have my treatment coordinator who is like double serving as my assistant right now because long story short, my assistant quit last week, so that was kind of cool. Anyways, so my treatment coordinator Casie, so it's two.Mm-hmm. . Then I have my hygienist, three, I have my life assistant. That's a whole other topic for another Michael: life assistant you said? Yes. Okay. And she works at the practice? Sana: Yeah, she does like things for me here and then she would like do things for me, like all the errands that I would need to do, like all like a bunch of like admin stuff that like, it's not like office manager stuff, it's just like more like me stuff, but like, I just like responding to emails and like she runs my social media and like just that kind of stuff.Okay. But now since last week we've had a lot of changes, so now she's at the front desk, so she's. receptionist also now. Okay. She's like, my life is slash office receptionist. That's four. And then I have a nurse practitioner because I'm also a med spa. So that's a whole other topic. Yes. So five. And then my nurse practitioner has a medical assistant, so that's six.Michael: Okay. So you have six employees in total. Why'd you decide to become a med spa? How did you like H? How's that coming along? The med spa Sana: part? Oh my god. It's like a whole other story. Okay. Okay. So we'll back up. So when I was making this like concept, right? Mm-hmm. , people hate the dentist. People love the spa.So I was like, oh yeah, like we'll make this like dental experience, very spa-like that was like the goal spa-like dental experience. So then I'm doing my branding and all this stuff, so I'm like, oh yeah, dental studio and spa. So like in my head when I'm like, it's a spa dental studio. There's aromatherapies, you get fuzzy blankets, you get noise canceling headphones.Like all the millennial stuff, right? Like all the millennial things. Yeah. And that's what, that's what it was in my head. And then I started like doing all this, like marketing and stuff and people are like, so what's the spa? And I'm like, it's the fuzzy blanket. and this. Branded Chapstick, Oh, you wanted a facial? Yeah. I don't have that. Sorry. Oh, Michael: okay. Sana: Oh, you want a massage? Yeah, we don't do those here. Sorry. that's how it started. I was like, okay, so people are respecting a spa, like, okay, sounds good. So like, eight months pregnant, opening a scratch startup, and people want a freaking spa.So I'm like, what the heck? What? So I had like, I have four, I had four empty ops. Cause so my office has seven ops. I got equipment for three, and then I had four empty ones. I was like, all right, we're gonna rent one of these out to an esthetician. There you go. Wesley Chapel, here's your facial. Come and get one.There you go. Yeah. , I rented it, I rented out a room to an esthetician and then, so that was whatever, like, I'm, I wasn't like really in charge of anything. Like she did her own thing. It was just like rented space. And I was like, oh, thanks for like the $500 for my super expensive rent. Yeah. Put that Michael: towards that as one.Wait real quick. Put a timeout. How much is Sana: rent? Oh my God. Stop. We really wanna know. It's like $8,000. Michael: How many, how many ops do you have? Seven. Are they all plumbed and, oh, okay. Sana: But that's just my rent. Like I'm just paying this guy to pay his mortgage. Michael: Was there any free rent? Six months. What was your tie?Sana: Allowance?Oh my god. What was it? 72,000. Not a lot of thousands. Not Michael: enough . Not a lot of thousands. I'm looking to be a millionaire. Not a thousandaire. What is wrong with that man? Like, what is Sana: this? I was like, dude, I was like, I'm signing a 15 year lease, 15 years. I was like, the baby that's in my stomach will be 15 years old.Oh yeah. Like he'll be getting his license. That's how long this lease is. Okay, thank you. Michael: So here's showing 2000. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So un paused back to the, the spot. Sana: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So then I got the esthetician and then people were getting facials and that was cool. And then I was like, oh, I wanna do Botox and fillers and like I had taken a course for it, but I'm the type of person, like I'm a perfectionist, like, I don't wanna do it.but I know people want Botox and fillers. I kind of nervous, so I got a nurse practitioner. I was like, ah, like one day a week, just like, come, like, Botox these people up. Mm-hmm. , we started doing that. And then I guess like all the laser reps in the United States, just, I, I don't, I don't understand, like, do they have like a, oh, this person advertised that they do Botox.Let's go attack them with our sales rep, Venus Literally they would like just, they would just show up. They would just show up at the front desk. this is before my therapist taught me that I have to put boundaries. Okay. So like, I've, I've done a lot of therapy in my life. Hang out again.Michael: Pause you going, you going to therapy? Hell yeah. What, when did you start going? Sana: So I was in therapy before When I went through like all the oh my god, there's like so much you don't know about me, but , , there's a lot. I just met you right now. just met me.There's so much you don't know about me. But, so I went through like all this stuff, like in high school, like in college, whatever, like teen mom, like okay, like all this like traumatic, traumatic stuff, right? So like, just like a synopsis, like I'm a survivor of like domestic abuse and sexual assault, right?So like that's like a lot of my traumas. And so I was going to therapy before, but I was like lying in therapy and like just F y I, if you lie in therapy, it doesn't work. So I was lying in therapy and it didn't work very well. So I stopped going to therapy and then I restarted therapy last year maybe.Yeah, I started restarted therapy last year and now I have this really awesome therapist who's like a mom therapist. and she just like understands like working moms. Anyways, Michael: my therapist what, real quick, what made you want to start therapy? Sana: as you can tell, I have the brain of a squirrel and I have a lot of things I need to talk about.And my husband doesn't understand anything about dentistry. He also doesn't understand anything about owning a business. He also is not a mom. And I just like, I basically talk to patients. I talk to my staff, I talk to my kids, I talk to my husband and that's it. I was like, I need an outlet.Like also I have all of these like negative coping mechanisms and I have zero boundaries, so I literally gotta get my together. negative coping mechanism is basically like, , I'll just like let people just do whatever and I like, don't, I just like, I'm like, OK, sounds good. Like I'm very like PE people pleaser. Even if I'm like, no, like I don't wanna do that. Like, or I'm like always just like preparing for the worst. So like, I'll be like in this like really great like celebratory moment and I'm like, I need to prepare for like the apocalypse.And it's like, dude, we're literally just eating Taco Bell. Can you relax? Yeah. And well, no I can't, I can't celebrate this Mexican pizza comeback right now. . I'm afraid that the Mexican pizza will also then be taken off the menu. So the Michael: Mexican pizza combo, , it didn't get taken off. Didn't it again? Or, I dunno.It's Sana: not taken off. Okay. Then it came back and now. , I'm supposed to celebrate this comeback of the Mexican pizza, but in my head I know that they will take it away again. Michael: Okay, . So those are the negative coping mechanisms. What I mean, ok, I Sana: get you, I get you Like very, more like dramatic, like other types of things, but that's just like me trying to again, like deflect and make something a joke, like that's another negative coping mechanism.I just make all this serious stinky stuff a joke all the time and I'm like, it's, it's fine. It's ok. It's ok. I like, you know, like that meme where it's like everything's on fire around Michael: other guy. Like, it's fine. This is fine. This is fine. Sana: It's, it's fine. Yeah. That's like me as a person. Michael: Okay. Okay. Okay. So un pause, fast, fast forward back Sana: to the, the med spa and the laser reps and having no boundaries.Like, I would be like, oh yeah, if somebody wants to like, come talk to me, like, yeah, just let them know. Whatever. Right? So I'm like getting pulled out of the operatory. They're like, oh, doc, so and so wants to talk to you, so and so called for you. And I'm like, oh, cool. Ok. And I'm like, wait, I can't talk to all these people.Like I just, I can't do it. And I'm also really bad at saying no. So somehow these guys come in, then they convince me with all their sales preppiness that I need a Morpheus machine. And I'm like, yeah, you're right. I wanna get rid of my double G. So, you're right. Let's get a amorphous, it's fine. Let's do it.Okay. That's a lot of thousands of dollars. Okay. Sounds good. Did you get it? Yeah, I, I got it. Michael: Man, their sales preppiness is good. Huh? Sana: Or my boundaries are lacking. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Michael: Like that's true. You could have just been so looking at IT app, but what have you improved that or what, what's going on with Sana: that?Yeah. No, I've improved it. I stopped buying stuff. I've been cut off, so I'm not buying things anymore. Mm-hmm. , but I've also. . I was just, I just was looking like, where is, how is society going? Like what's like on the up and on, the up and up and it's med spas that is on the up and up, right?Mm-hmm. , everybody wants to be in aesthetics and cosmetics and this and that and whatever. And so I'm like, all right, well people are expecting a spa, so we're gonna make it a freaking spa and we're gonna become a med spa. Like, that's it. We're doing it. I don't wanna be like, oh yeah, come get your facial.Like, no, you can go down to the salon suite down there. Go get your facial over there. Mm-hmm. , we have lasers here. We have a medical director that's this, this person is the medical director. Like we do medical things here. So it just like was a really quick, like all of a sudden it started as Botox and fillers.Then all these reps are coming in and they're like telling me about all this like, cool stuff. And I'm like, wait, like why aren't we incorporating this? Like that just like makes natural sense, right? And then my practitioner, she used to work at another med spa, she had all that experience and I was, I was like asking her, I was like, well, what could we do to like build this side of the office?&

Charlotte Smith was joined by family and friends this month to celebrate being cancer-free after 27 months of treatment. Charlotte was diagnosed with cancer in October 2020, when she was 3. Her mother took her to the doctor after noticing she was tired, not eating much and prone to bruising. Her hemoglobin level was low — 4.9 — so they took her to Children's Scottish Rite Hospital, where she was diagnosed with leukemia. Charlotte was treated at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. Over the next two years, she had multiple chemotherapy infusions, oral chemotherapy for a year and a half, seven blood transfusions, 18 lumbar punctures and two surgeries. To celebrate being cancer-free, the Smiths threw a large party for their daughter, complete with a face painter and a DJ. During her treatment, Charlotte attended the Center for Early Education at Marietta First Baptist Church, where the Smiths are members. The teachers showed their support by wearing “Charlotte's army,” shirts. Charlotte is the great-granddaughter of Cobb Superior Court Senior Judge Adele Grubbs; Emily Smith is Grubbs' granddaughter. Charlotte's father, Brad Smith, is a business intelligence developer at Children's Healthcare. Emily Smith works as an intensive care nurse at Wellstar Kennestone Hospital, and had to take a leave of absence during her daughter's treatment. Charlotte was immunocompromised due to the cancer, and the risk of her working in the hospital was too great. Now, Charlotte is in kindergarten at Kennesaw Elementary. Charlotte has two younger siblings — Olivia, 3, and Cooper, her three-month-old brother. She likes arts and crafts and coloring, and wants to be a nurse like her mother.  It was a big night for Kell guard Crystal Henderson. Her number 30, along with her brother Scoot Henderson's 0, were retired in a ceremony between the girls and boys games against Chattahoochee on Tuesday. She was celebrated for reaching the 2,000 point plateau for her career, and she scored 25 points with seven assists and five steals in the Longhorns' 64-36 Region 6AAAAA victory.  The only thing she didn't get was the ovation during a timeout as she left the court, because she couldn't. Thanks to a short bench because of an illness that was running through the team, Kell only had six healthy players for most of the game and it led to nearly every player playing all 32 minutes. The victory allowed the Longhorns to secure the Number 1 seed for this month's region tournament, but it is something coach Kandra Bailey didn't even want to think about quite yet, because the Horns still have games to play in the regular season. Between their near-century of combined service to Marietta City Schools, Kenneth and Jeanie Carter left an indelible mark on the city's history. But the Carter family has a new memento of its contributions to Marietta, as the Cole Street home of Kenneth Carter's parents was recently recognized as a historic home in one of the city's historically Black neighborhoods. The home's marker was unveiled as part of an ongoing, joint effort between Cobb Landmarks and the Marietta History Center. The program looks to memorialize the most storied homes of the city's Black families in the Baptist Town, Louisville, and Fort Hill neighborhoods, among others. The 1909 Carter house is a worthy member for inclusion. Originally built by Taylor Woods, a Black resident, the house was purchased by Sarah Young and Oscar Carter in 1944. Oscar Carter worked at Marietta's Bell Bomber plant as a custodian during World War II, and later for the city government, while his wife served as head of the Lemon Street PTA and worked as a washer woman, maid, and a nurse in the offices of Marietta physician Dr. Remer Clark. The couple raised four children in the home, which today is the last private house on the block of Cole Street between Lawrence and Lemon streets. While the Marietta Housing Authority bought the properties to the south, and Cole Street Missionary Baptist bought the properties to the north, the Carter family held on to their home. Among their children was Kenneth “Coach” Carter, who purchased the home when his mother died in the 1990s. Coach Carter, who died in 2019, spent nearly half a century as an educator and coach in Marietta City Schools. Residents interested in nominating a site for consideration as a landmark can contact Cobb Landmarks or the Marietta History Center. Two people were shot and injured in south Cobb Tuesday morning, the Cobb County Police Department said. According to police, officers were dispatched around 5:30 a.m. to a home on Main Station Drive off Hurt Road. Antoine McCain of Marietta, stated that he shot Ricky Robinson of Marietta, police said. Both men were suffering from apparent gunshot wounds, according to police. Police and firefighters responded and treated the men, who were both taken to a local hospital. The incident remains an open and active investigation. Anyone with information about it is asked to call police. University officials, alumni and students gathered Monday for the unveiling of Kennesaw State University's renovated Engineering Lab Building, a $5 million project. The 35,000-square-foot facility, known colloquially as the “G Building,” was built in 1962, said KSU President Kathy “Kat” Schwaig — the same year as she was, Schwaig joked — and last renovated in 1984. Schwaig spoke of the importance of students having a space for hands-on, collaborative work in the sciences. The building is part of the school's Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology and is home to a variety of opportunities for students, including different labs, such as for 3D printing and senior projects, a peer-to-peer tutoring program and academic advisers. Barnes & Noble plans to open a new store in the Avenue East Cobb this summer. The bookseller confirmed that it will open a 15,000-square-foot store, using part of the former Bed Bath and Beyond space at the popular shopping center off Roswell Road. The store will have a different feel to the bookstore chain's other locations — a “revamped model replicates the personal touch found in independent bookshops,” in the words of North American Properties, the owner of the Avenue East Cobb. Barnes & Noble's new approach also lets local stores stock a “hand-curated selection” of books tailored to its specific community.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with artist Jennifer Nieuwland, who is exhibiting a painting in our current group exhibition 'Matrescence'. Jennifer Nieuwland is a contemporary artist who lives and works in London. She is Dutch by nationality and spent her formative years in Milan, Italy. Nieuwland was mostly self-taught before embarking on an MA in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School, completed in October 2021. This resulted in a marked shift in her practice, which now focuses on exploring bodily memory and the sensory. She has been shortlisted for a variety of prizes such as the ING Discerning Eye and the Jacksons open painting prize. Since completing her MA, she has been selected for various collective shows in London and for the cover of Ache Magazine being released Autumn 2022. ‘Matrescence' brings together the work of four artists Mothers, curated by a Mother, with a portion of sales going to local non-profit organisation MAMA to MAMA. The artists Catherine Lette, Sarah Maple, Jennifer Nieuwland and Alexis Soul-Gray explore the concept of Matrescence, or the becoming of a mother, in their works in varying ways. From the bold, brutal reality alongside a dose of good humour. The exhibition continues at our new permanent home at 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD until 27th November 2022. The Gallery is open Thursdays 11-4pm, Saturdays 11-3pm and outside of these times by appointment.Read the full press release here:https://www.liminal-gallery.com/matrescenceOr visit the viewing room here:https://www.liminal-gallery.com/matrescence-viewing-roomContact us: info@liminal-gallery.comFollow us on Instagram: @liminal_galleryWith original music by Lorenzo Bonari.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with artist Sarah Maple who is exhibiting a painting in our current group exhibition 'Matrescence'. Sarah Maple is an award winning visual artist known for her bold, brave, mischievous and occasionally controversial artworks that challenge notions of identity, religion and the status quo. Much of Maple's inspiration originates from her mixed religious and cultural upbringing.Sarah's artwork, film and performances have been exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including Tate Britain, Golden Thread Gallery and Tallin Art Hall. Her recent commissions include The Baltic, New Art Exchange and Sky Arts.​"Maple harnesses her frustration, dismay and disappointment in prevailing attitudes into mature and thought- provoking work that challenges ideas around identity, religion, race, the artworld, feminism and freedom of expression. Often using herself as a conduit to challenge stereotypes and normative behaviour, Maple is adept at confronting complex issues that we are all thinking about with wit, irony and a startling honesty.” - Kate Bryan - Art Historian, Broadcaster, Author and Head of Collections Soho House, ‘Matrescence' brings together the work of four artists Mothers, curated by a Mother, with a portion of sales going to local non-profit organisation MAMA to MAMA.

Liminal Gallery Podcast host, Louise Fitzjohn, speaks with artist Damien Cifelli during his solo exhibition 'Tarogramma'. Damien Cifelli is a multidisciplinary artist from Edinburgh, now based in London. His work explores a fictitious land named Tarogramma. Referencing the scale and compositions of history paintings and historical sculpture, he has built a detailed culture with its own aesthetic, way of living, and understanding of the world; one that is at once alien, and eerily similar to our own. The paintings are a visual representation of this alternative society - documentary images of a new world. ​Recent solo exhibitions include ‘Hidden Door 2022' in Edinburgh, ‘Tarogramma' Hackney Downs Studios, London in 2022, ‘Damien Cifelli x Wolf and Badger' Netil House, London in 2022 and ‘Tarogramma Archive' at Dundas St Gallery and Italian Cultural Institute, Edinburgh, 2019. Selected awards include Saatchi Art ‘Rising Star' 2022 and Dazed x Gap New Generation 2020. Cifelli has been announced as a top 10 finalist for the UK New Artist of the Year Award with several works selected for a week-long exhibition at London's prestigious Saatchi Gallery. Damien Cifelli's solo exhibition 'Tarogramma' continues at our new permanent home at 34 Fort Hill, Margate, CT9 1HD until 30th October 2022.

“F” is for Fort Hill (Clemson).

Albany was discovered in 1609 by Henry Hudson, where Fort Nassau, a Dutch settlement's fortified trading post and warehouse, was built in 1614 on Castle Island (known today as Westerio Island). A massive influx of colonists from Denmark, Germany, Holland, Norway, and Scotland arrived and built Fort Orange in 1619. More people came and occupied the village of Beverwyck, the area surrounding Fort Orange. British forces captured Beverwyck and renamed it Albany in 1664. In 1777, the British attacked the hilltop military post on State Street called Fort Frederick opposite Fort George, which was situated on the same street at the foot of the hill. A colonial hospital where injured Patriots who fought in the Revolution, stood at the corner of Lodge and Pine Streets. The surrounding region is home to many historic ruins of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bear Mountain, located on the Hudson where the U.S. 9W, Washington County connects to the Palisades Interstate Parkway, is still home to the remains of two forts conquered by the British during the Revolutionary War, Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton. Bennington Battlefield, the site of the famous August 14, 1977 battle between the Patriots and British, is located close to Wallooomsac, Washington County, on N.Y. 67. Butlersbury Mansion, the historic home of the infamous Tory raiders John and Walter Butler, still exists after being built in 1742, in the vicinity of Fonda in the Mohawk Valley on Switzer Hill. The father and son, British Loyalists, plundered many Patriot settlements in Mohawk Valley and amassed many spoils. They escaped to Canada before the end of the war, but not without burying at undisclosed locations near the mansion an immense amount of loot from their pillaging. Mohawk settlements. A total of sixteen villages called Indian castles located in the Mohawk Valley, Montgomery County, was owned by the Mohawks from 1580 to 1666. In 1666, all these villages were burned, save the one situated in Auriesville. Four castles were built as replacements, but these too were burnt in 1693, which contributed to the considerable reduction of the Indian population. The exact location of the original castles is unknown. Still, three have been determined as existing villages near Indian Castle, Fort Hunter, and Fort Plain that once existed at the time of the Revolution. Continental Village. This village is two miles north of Gallows Hill Road, Putnam County, somewhere further up north of Peekskill. From 1777 to 1781, it was used as a camp and supply center by the Patriots during the Revolutionary War. Crown Point Campsite is situated in Essex County near the west end of Lake Champlain Bridge. This campsite is where the French built Ford Frederic in 1731, but they had it blown up themselves at the arrival of British armed forces. The British had to construct Fort Crown a little further inland, as a result, which, unfortunately, accidentally burnt in 1773. This campsite that the Patriots and British occupied during different times of the Revolutionary War can be found near the remnants of the said forts. Dobbs Ferry Site on the Hudson River, the former primary crossing point of the lower Hudson, is located on Dobbs Ferry, Westchester County. Much of the shoreline has changed with the times, but the area still has many recoverable Revolutionary War artifacts. Schuylerville. This is the location of a 50-acre open field on the west bank of the Hudson, situated past New York 29, west of U.S. 5, Saratoga Co. by a few hundred feet. After the historical battle of Saratoga, this field was used as the site where 6,300 of the remaining British forces surrendered on October 17, 1777. This historical battlefield still contains many authentic relics from the Revolutionary War. Fishkill Landing is located opposite Newburgh near U.S. 9, Dutchess Co., on the east bank of the Hudson. The ruins of Fort Hill, a garrison used by the Patriots during the Revolutionary War, can be found here. Fishk --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/treasure-revealed/support

It's the WEEKEND!!!! Time to give the BUZZ stage to another awesome organization in our community See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt survived his first driving lesson, The Homecoming game was played with a 42-7 win for Fort Hill, Halloween fun was had by all, and the Braves won the World Series the first time in 26 years.  In the past week our small community has experienced two tragedy in as many weeks. While the homecoming football game was played, it was with a heaviness in the air and a sense of honor that made celebrations much more subdued this year.  The NHL... well what can you say but get it together,  and handle your business.    Remember Fall Back, Get Your Booster, and if you are feeling down, you are loved ask for help.     

In the wake of recent tragedy in our community, please join us for a special message by Pastors Tim and Dustin, with special guests, the Fort Hill football team.   The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. - Isaiah 9:2   If you would like to partner with us, please visit: myLOH.church/GIVE

Podcast Hill is firmly still in the glorious state of Maryland, our state reps successfully became successful secessionists. Matt stays awake for a while nine innings and we discusses the upcoming homecoming game with Matt's predictions for a win.  This is homecoming week here in Western Maryland, and the rival game that has been going on for nearly a century between Allegany and Fort Hill High Schools. This will mark the return of the game after being cancelled last year due to COVID-19.  It is with a heavy heart that YDKJ is reporting breaking news of a stabbing death of a 17 year old football player from Fort Hill. This player was attacked outside of school and a suspect has been since detained. We send our sincerest condolences to the family, students, faculty, and staff.  

Aloha friends, it's Robert Stehlik, welcome to another episode of the blue planet show, which I produce right here in my home office, in the garage. On this show I interview Wingfoil athletes, instructors, designers, and thought leaders and ask in-depth questions about Wing Foil equipment and technique. I'm also trying to get to know my guests a little bit better, their background, how they got into watersports, what inspires them, and how they live their best life. I'm a visual learner myself, so I'm adding visual content that you can watch right here on YouTube, but you can also listen to these long form interviews on the go as a podcast, just search for the blue planet show on your favorite podcast app for the audio only podcast. These interviews are really long and unrushed, I just take my time and I really don't make them for the 50% of you that stop watching after 30 seconds. These videos are made for those 5% of you that watch all the way to the end. So I appreciate you guys, this show is just for you, if you are as foil brained I am, kick back, relax, and just enjoy the show. Today's guest is Gunnar Biniasch who lives in Fuerteventura on the Canary islands, which are part of Spain, even though they're off the coast of Africa.  He's been creating YouTube videos for many years. He teaches wing foiling and runs the North Shore surf shop in Fuerteventura.  We talk about is very international background, go over Wingfoiling tips for beginners, switching your stance on the foil. And I also asked them to break down the upwind three 360 spin or Flacka for me since I've been struggling to pull it off. The tips he gave in this interview really helped me personally. And I finally pulled off the move after talking to Gunnar. So, I hope you get as much out of it as I did. We also talk in depth about foils boards, wings and living a good life. So without further ado, please welcome Gunnar Biniasch.   Gunnar, welcome to the Blue Planet show. It's great to have you. I really appreciate you coming on. How are you doing today? I'm great. Thanks for having me on yeah, I'm actually pretty happy. Cause a lot of wind in the last few weeks a lot of time on the water, so I'm happy as can be, great. Yeah, I've seen some of your videos. Great. So let's start a little bit with your background. Where did you grow up and how did you get into water, sports and so on and how did you get to live in the Canary islands? That's long story. My background is a pretty complicated. My, my father's German and my mom's Malaysian Chinese I am. Unfortunately, I'm born in Iran, which always causes a slight issues with traveling around specialty to the U S and then I actually grew up most of my life in Indonesia. Wait. So you were born in Iran and wait, your parents are what are they, where are they from your parents? Again? My dad's German and my mom's Chinese/ Malay. That is so interesting. Okay. And then you grew up in Indonesia, most of your childhood. Okay. Sorry. Keep going. That's very interesting. Yeah. We moved there when I was like six years old and pretty much left when I was 18 to go study in the UK. And then wait, let's go back again. So how did your parents meet and how did you get born in Iran and how were you in Indonesia? How did you grow up and so on? I want to know more about all that. My, my dad met my mom in Malaysia. I think it called a loan for it. He was there for work. He was a, he was an auditor. So yeah, they met there had a bit of a long distance relationship for a little while. And then eventually got married and yeah, nine 1978. My dad got a job where he was sent by his company to Tehran. To to basically do the books there for the company. And that's where I was born. I think it was like a couple of months before the revolution there. So like after that we, my parents like were in Germany for about a year and then we moved to Taiwan for a couple of years. And then, yeah, when I was six, we moved to two. And where did you live in Indonesia? In Jakarta. Oh, okay. That's a big city. So you have a very international background, very international upbringing. Okay. That's why I'm German. I sound American and studied in the UK. It's yeah, you don't have much of a British accent okay. So you, when you were 18, you went to the UK and. Went to university there, or school or whatever. I went to university, I went there to study computer science and then also accounting later on. And while I was there I got, I started kite flying kites when I was like 10 years old when I was a kid, like my cousin got me into that. And then I took it a bit more seriously. Once I moved to the UK and got into power, cutting, like kind of buggy and of buggy racing. And through that, I stumbled upon kite surfing in like 99. And yeah, and then this was, I started kite surfing lost my parents that all went wrong from there. Cause that's when I, I started basically taking, thinking very seriously, started getting first sponsors and then also then moved in 2000. I moved down to Florida Ventura. To basically get more time on the water all year round. Yeah, I really haven't looked back since then. The law and career in guiding and now it's winging now. And how old are you now? I'm 43. Okay. And you're married, you have kids or? Yeah. And I've been together with Doris for almost 16 years now. We have one daughter she's eight. And you met her Doris in four different to her and or in the canaries, or did you move there? They met in Germany and we had almost five years of a long distance relationship. And then she eventually decided to move down. I think that was in 2009, I think 2009, 2010. And then how did you get into foiling? Yeah, I mean that, I, first time I got encountered foiling was 2005. A friend of mine got ahold of an aluminum foil thing, an old rush ramble job. And I tried learning all that and that didn't work very well. That was a horrible experience. It was really windy, really wavy, cold, and so on weather in Holland. Yeah, it didn't work quite well. So snowboard boots and water, it's just, yeah, it wasn't the best. And it we forgot about it for about five years and actually in 2009 at one of the races, or I just started with 2010 and one of the races I met a guy called mango and he had a bunch of Fort Hill files with him and they were it's called fiberglass, carbon jobs. And yeah, go on that. And then me and a friend ordered one here for the Ventura and we got riding on that and then pretty much got addicted very quickly. Also, basically both of us were very engineering based and we love building stuff. So we eventually went, wait, we gotta make this better. Also because that I want to travel with this, so we needed to have a foil where I could take the mask off the glider. So basically get rid of that whole bar system. So we quickly started developing our own foil stuff and I was on, yeah. 2010. In the early days of foiling, when I got into, you already had a lot of videos up on a lot of the foils breaking down the different foils and like your tech talks and stuff like that. So that was super helpful for me to understand how it works. And I guess you were already foiling before, like Kyla and he posted his downwind foiling video and all that, or, yeah, for me, I was trying, for me, it was good that he did it and all the work that that Alex did. And so on Alexa guara. Cause I was trying the same stuff just with the wrong equipment because when I basically also, my history has basically eraser, I've been kiteboard racing since the beginning, since 2005, doing the slalom kind of slalom and then the whole racing tour. So for me it was all I was going fast. So the foils that I was designing in the early days. Yeah, no, it was all the same. Basically all the foils that I was making were more for, going faster and, racing orientated. So when I started basically surf, foiling and winging falling, I was doing this on super fast, super small foils, which yeah, wasn't really great. There are a lot harder to ride when we first started foiling. Jeff and I, Jeff, my friend, Jeff Chang had a kite foil. That was, yeah, like high-speed super thin, super small. And we're in LA super long mast. And we were trying to learn behind the jet ski and it was like it was hard. I was like, Oh my God, I'm never going to learn this. So actually now when I look back, I'm amazed that I was actually able to learn half these maneuvers on the equipment that we have. We're on foils a room. They're like a quarter of the size of what we ride now for kites. I think the foil nut that video is a, an in square centimeters. It's something like 400 square centimeters. It's like nothing you're right now. So yeah, it was not one, not the easiest. So when the surf boiling came around and wherever I was trying to get it to work in the waves was convinced. It has to work. You have to paddle into a wave with a standup paddle with with one of these foils. It w it just was, it worked, but it was so fast. It's so unstable that, it wasn't fun. And it was, for me, it was great. Then seeing Kai on basically a big fat gold foil back then the stuff from Alex. And I was like, Oh yeah, Yep. That's the way go really big and go a lot slower and that'll make it all work on the waves for surfing and for some of the paddling. Yeah. And then what was the first kind of more, that kind of a foil, more surf oriented foil that you got and how did you get into that? Yeah, the first thing I did, as soon as I saw that video was basically call Alex and order like to go foils the re the original Kai wings. So they learned on to the Chi wing and now that's considered a small wing for someone, my size. It's almost kind of foils are those sides now. So yeah, that's the first one I had and then started on huge boards compared to what we use now. Back then I was on a hundred and back to my very first board, I started Sort of foiling on was I think 160 liter, like nine, nine, six stand-up or at CDF, some footage of that on their YouTube channel, beyond the channel. If you scroll up, like somewhere in the middle of those should go probably to video under videos. Cause there's just so many videos on . Okay. I see the high foil. Let's have a look into this one. Okay. So yeah. So talk about the early days of foiling with the Chi foil  was great. For me it opened up like a lot like of options, but when we were trying to surf well with the kite foil was the only time it would work, if you had almost overhead ways, we were on such a small foil. And obviously that was extremely scary. Like you're in this video, you got nice and let's say small and controlled waves, just a little bit of a bump that makes it fun to surf foil when it's about twice the size of that and the foils. Four or five times the speed. Yeah, it was scary. Plus the foils were a lot shorter. The kite foils. Yeah. It's very similar to how I started. I put a Kai foil on an eight foot standard paddle board and figured out how to make it go. Yeah. I've been foiling for, I think for seven years by that time. So for me, it was just about actually relearning standup paddling because I had actually started standup having back in 2005, one of the first guys on the Island. And I just got bored of it, like in a rich split with a kid because I had also a lot to do with the racing. So I didn't really have a lot of time to go stand up paddling so much. So I'd actually, before I started properly trying to make the whole software, the working and a stand up. And while I'm not counting, Flatwater paddling, but actually in waves, I just, it gets really full here. So it was just, that's something I've really progressed on as I should have. So with the foiling came along, it allowed me to go in spots where no one else was. So I met, I was allowed to progress a lot faster with with the soft foiling compared to with the normal stand-up paddling. Cause there's the, for example, in that video is actually just the offshoot of of the main sort of way spot in town. Then on a day like that, if you basically go across to the actual main wave, there's 50, 60 guys in the lineup waiting to catch a wave. So it's not that fun. So foiling made that a lot easier and a lot more fun in general, just to be out there, crash on the rocks. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, that's, and that's exactly how I started. And it was a pretty, pretty long learning curve, but super fun that, sorry, I got addicted to foiling it. But like with the advent of wing foiling, I tell people it's probably easier to learn foiling with a wing than foiling in ways. What do you think? Is that what you definitely. I'm on the teaching side learning to foil. Immediately in, in waves is probably the worst possible thing you can do. There's so many variables everything's out of control. You have to catch the wave, you have to control your speed, then you have to control the foil. And then if you wipe it about wrong, you're very likely to get pounded by your board or hit by the foil. Before winging, obviously when we had people who couldn't type or couldn't wind surf, we would teach them behind the boat, towing them, basically getting them to a halfway decent level of control with the foil before going anywhere near the waves with these guys. And now with winging, it's a lot easier. Cause now we've got a very controlled way of getting people on the water, basically sailing around and especially compared to kiting where the general issue is when people are not doing well, they tend to end up. Just like in the old days of, when you start to learn normal guiding way off, down wind, then you'd have to go and rescue them. Whereas with winging, you can send people out. And if you taught them how to basically displace up wind, it's just like a good old beginner windsurfing with a daggerboard. You can just, basically, even if you're not flying, you can keep up wind. You can learn slowly and just slowly progress your way onto the foil and get flying and then take it at your speed. Whereas most other foiling sports you have to get up and flying immediately, or else you end up somewhere else or it just doesn't work or it's no fun. Yeah. I was going to mention that too. Like when you in the early days of wing for the, you, I guess you worked together with ozone to come out with these instructional videos, Yeah. And like this one here got to over 250,000 views, so are very popular instructional videos. And I think they were very helpful for a lot of people to get into sport. And also I've been sending people to your videos for learning how to do it on a regular standup paddle board or, so can you talk a little bit about that learning first for, some tips for beginners? If somebody wants to get into Wayne for them, what's the best way to learn it, the most important part. And this is something a lot of people skip is to really learn how to control the wing properly. A lot of people go onto the water a little bit too quickly to just get away in their hand and you just go and they don't tend to learn how the handling works proper base. So it makes life a lot harder. If you can. Try to get out on a skateboard on land. It will teach you a lot about the dynamics of how the wings work and handle placement, which handles to use to go up when, especially for wind surfers, it's slightly counterintuitive, especially if you're here, like you're going on an SUV without a foil or any daggerboards in it. You have to be very careful what you're doing with the wing. Windsurfers tend to, for example, always just, open up the wing, shove it back and then hope it will all go up wind, which doesn't quite work. You have to combine it with the kite mentality of, okay, I've got the board pointing up within now. Not actually have to move the wing forward again. Position it so that the wind can actually still also pull up with once the board's done that and actually skateboarding with the wing will teach you quite a lot of those skills before you get on the water. And it's also quite useful for a standing up and Swan. If you just have that wing nicely under control, and you're no longer dipping your wing tips into the water. Because for me, that was the most frustrating thing in the beginning. On wing was knowing I could foil and knowing I could stand up paddle, but basically crashing every 20 meters because I dig the wing tips of the way of the wing into the water, just catapulting straight over. And that's because basically when I started winging I did the mistake of just saying I'm going to go straight on the water and I'm going to be able to do this. And yeah, it wasn't like that. It didn't, it wasn't like a long arduous thing, but for the first half an hour, I just spent a lot of time basically catapulting over the board because when the wing tip drags is for people to try to lift up their backhand to get it out. And then what happens? Is it just tips forward and makes it worse? So it's like almost you have to lift it up the front hand and pushed down with the backhand to get it, to come back. Learning essentially that, that counter intuitive thing is that if you want to make it go up, you actually have to push down and your backhand and things like that. And like I said, if you spend a bit more time on land, you'll learn that. And then you'll have a lot less of a hard time on the water, for sure. And like I said, in a really important skill to have is essentially to, when you're not flying is actually still be able to go up when I'm on the board. So I have a lot of people actually still now guys that have been doing it for a year are still, if the wind drops even on a hundred plus leader board, these guys are ending up miles downwind. Because they just haven't figured out how to actually just sit on, basically sit on the board or stand if it's a big board and just keep the wing open holder the slightly a bit more forward and that you can still sail up wind in five or six knots. Yeah, without too much. And I agree in the last interview, Glenn L said she was mentioning this kind of position here where you hold the wing a little bit sideways and that turns the nose into the wind. And then, so if you can keep that position where you have the wing a little bit to your side, that's that's a good point, or I think too, to keep your nose kind of pointing a little bit into the wind instead of just letting it pull you down when right. Exactly. And the second part is to actually get rid of that downward pull anyway. So basically hold it a bit farther forward. This video, the wind is light, but if the wind is stronger I tell most of my guys to hold it more for it's actually grabbed the surf handle and maybe the second handle on the strut to really keep it open. And it helps get much like nicer angles. You're not going to be going fast, but you're going to keep a nice upwind angle. So trying to basically displace with the least amount of power and not just shut the wing and try to get power to make it go up. Wind. So let's talk a little bit about, more about tips for beginners, because I know a lot of people that are watching are just getting into it too and just need help getting get, figuring it all out. What, let's start with the equipment. What do you recommend, if I dunno, do you teach other people how to, when foil it all and what would you, what kind of gear would you put them on to get started? Like I said, the first, when I do my courses, the first hour is typically somewhere in a car park or we have a nice hard area behind the beach, just about half an hour, just controlling the wing, like a three or four meter wing learning the basics of control and handling, yeah. It's just standing on the beach or something, no skateboard or anything. Yeah, exactly. And then after that, Get them on a skateboard. We've got these really large longboard skateboards, like dancers. So basically meter long and with really fat skate wheels, it's like all-terrain wheels and yeah. And then we send them off because of these large wheels, they don't get super fast, but they get moving, which gives them a bit of a parent when, and it gives them a good idea of what, how what's happening. And there, I progressed on to teaching them essentially. Okay. If you hold the wing slightly further forward on the handles is what happens when you hold it farther back. You also tend to teach basically what happens if you move the wing forward, actively, what happens when you shift it back? Hold it higher. And so on which handles do what? And yeah, so usually at the end of an hour and a half, most people on the skateboards are actually doing their first jibes. Some are doing their first tacks and around there, they're getting a real good handling for the wing, basically being able to turn around and that's when we go onto the water. And if I have guys who have had some foiling experience beforehand, we will typically then go straight on to a board, was a foil, something like around a hundred, 110 liters, depending on the person's weight and large foil, because pretty much sure that once they take off, they will be more or less be able to handle the foil flying. If they've got more than a year's worth of foiling experience, if they don't have any funneling experience I'll put them nowadays on an inflatable board with two side fins and send them out of that in flat water and basically get used to getting them used to standing on a board. A lot of the guys would. Having folded that also have typically no water sports experience or not a lot of it. So getting them some balance on a stand-up paddle is is essential. What do you mean by two fins? Is it like, are they like center fins daggerboard thins or more like just regular fins in the back of the board? They are about halfway up the board closer to the rails and they're like eight inch like sort of FCS. So that helps with, so you don't drift off, right? That's one of the issues like if people are using the regular stand-up paddleboard to learn is that there's a lot of drifting going on. And it's hard to stay up wind with a boy that only has fins on the tail of very. Exactly. And what's this type of board it's super easy to stay up when you get actually quite decent speed on those things. And also because they're quite large, it's very good entry for most people into a water sport in general. So they're learning what the wind is doing on the water and how the board's reacting. They develop a good sense of balance. And then typically once they're okay with that board, that's when we move them on to the foil. And they're again, very large foils in the beginning, around the four liter volume from the front wing. And then yeah, get them to go on that board. Same thing, teach them with a foil board, how to go up, wind, how to build speed. And then once they have that speed, teach them essentially how to put the board back down again, once it lifts off. So basically just, keeping your way forward using your knees to position your body farther forward by bending your front knee and put the board back down and well, basic foil teaching opened the wing and stop flying. And typically, the worst students I've had, they've still learned the foil within two weeks after doing a course, cause at the end of the course, because they can go up wind even without foiling. They're basically independent. So they're confident enough just to go off with their equipment and learn to fly by themselves because they know they can always just sail back without the foil. Yeah. And that's something I tell people too they spend like thousands of dollars on buying all the equipment, but then they're too cheap to take a lesson, so just by taking some, getting some professional instruction, it'll just make everything so much easier and quicker to learn. I learned it pretty much by trial and error, but it took me way longer than it would have if I had gotten a few good tips the way. Yeah, exactly. But each to their own and the coolest thing, or let's say for schools, that's a bad thing about winging is that it's a fairly safe sport to teach yourself compared to cutting or wind surfing. The wing is relatively soft. You're not going to smack your head in like with steering, with the master, the boom. And Yeah. They're not going to fly away like you can with the kite. It lends itself for people to, just take their time and go out by themselves. Obviously you learn a lot faster, like in any sport, if you've asked somebody knows what they're doing and can basically see your errors and correct you and get rid of the first bad habits and right at the beginning. But I find it's not as necessary with this sport. Yeah. Most of the people learning it are relatively coordinated, but I've also had people start from zero and they've learned fairly quickly. People have never done any water sports before, and they're still learning quite quickly because it just gives you confidence because you're not scared of the equipment as much as you are with a lot of the other sports. Yeah, no, I totally agree. And it's definitely I think Wayne filing is probably the easiest way to get into foiling. As I think anyways, do you agree with that? That's probably if somebody wants to learn how to foil, it just gives you so much time, maybe other than towing behind the boat with a professional instructor that might be or in the electric foil maybe, but to really get a lot of time on the foil wing filings is such a good way to do it. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah, for, I wouldn't say it's like the, as that, if you're a teacher yourself and you're going to give yourself as much time as possible, it's definitely the easiest way to learn how to foil. Obviously both and the teacher is going to be the fastest way always cause it's a very controlled environment, but that always involves having the coach there and, having the boat for that. And then winging is the next best thing, because once you learn how to control the wing and like I said, stay up wind. You can teach yourself. The foiling, it's not that important compared to the wing skills. Cool. Let's fast forward a little bit to now you're writing obviously a much smaller board and you're on different equipment and I'm pretty impressed that you still it looks like you, you pretty much always switch your stance going either, either way, right? Yeah. That's ingrained in me from kite foiling and from kindful racing. Yeah. Obviously everybody's going to end up that way anyway. I always find it a bit of an excuse from people with, they tell me, it's no, I need that center strap. That asymmetrical center strap. I don't need the jive. It was like, eh, Give herself a year you'll figure it out a jive and then you'll either go strapless or you're old. You'll get like a view strap and, go into the more wind surfing side where you just have the advantage of having basically riding your switch and your strong side. Wow. And so that's something I'm struggling with is switching Stantec. I can do it on a bigger board with the big foil, but when I get on my small board, like small board with straps and the smaller foil and the waves and stuff I don't even attempt to, I don't even think about switching my stance. I just always stay in the same position. So maybe can you give some pointers on how to switch your stance? How the learning process looking basically rewind a little bit. Cause when I was basically wave riding, like surfing or kiting or standing up, I think I would never basically go on my switch side. Yeah, video this video. No, actually I don't never have gone around, but essentially you get into this mentality in the sports ah, I can only ride regular and I'm going to ride which from the left and the right back side and I'm going to, I'm going to right front side was weird from the right, but actually when Franklin came around, it wasn't comfortable in a lot of sort of way spots when I was kite wave foiling. And then I forced myself to, to ride the waves on my switch side. Coming from the racing background, I was able to ride the foil, switch or regular cars. You have to, you're not going to win a race if you're going to go side up the course. So for me, it was just basically just crunching down and saying, look, this next two, three sessions, you're only gonna ride on your weak side. You're going to ride the waves, basically left foot back, and you're just gonna do it. You're gonna crash a lot, but you're just gonna force yourself to do it because it can't be that hard. And because foiling doesn't involve a lot of strength and having to push really hard on it, black foot it's actually pretty easy to learn decent control on your switch side. So for me, it was R was already doing that with the  and the waves. And so when I started winging, it was normal. It's easier for me to actually ride front side, no matter where the wind's coming from. Okay. It's actually not, like I said, it's not a hard skill to learn. It's just something you have to force yourself to do, because everybody's got a, like a strong and weak side, but you can overcome that fairly easily on the foils. I think this one shows you switching stance quite a bit. So talk about that a little bit. Yeah. It's talking about just basic switching your feet. You'll see it now. It's most important part is that pump. I keep meaning to make a video on this and just keep having time for it. But when I. And when they almost never see any of the new guys talk about, is that initial pump, before you go into any maneuver, either a jive or attack or almost anything where you want to switch your feet. So walk us through it. So here at this point, you do a little pump with the boiler, with the wing, bam, I pump it, you see those popping up. That's my sort of pump and what that sort of does it accelerates the board, which gives more stability. But as I move my body weight forward to switch my foot that board is also trying to rise with me so it can take my body weight as I move my back foot forward. So I pumped, I stepped forward. Did I see the yeah. Moving your whole weight, body weight forward into those straps and those board positions and you quickly switch your feet. Nice. Yeah. And the most important part of that essentially is that pump. And when I'm coaching people mainly for foiling and so on know a little bit more for winging for their jobs is I tell them to do three pumps. And on the third one, switch your foot. You get into it just to basically count one pump to pump on the third one. That's when you basically stepped forward to switch. But basically before you attempt to do it on up on foil, obviously you want to practice it with a touchdown jive. Like you short earlier with the, on the kite foil, right? Like touchdown on the water, then switch your feet and then come back up again. I would tend to tell people just to go for it in the beginning, because if you get it wrong, you will touch down and then just don't panic. When you were touchdown. Most boards are good enough now that when you touched down, they don't stop so much. They'll keep going. So if you go for like your normal air jive, and if you do it correctly, if you move your weight forward, what a lot of people do in the beginning, which is slightly wrong is that they try to pull their front foot back as they're switching their feet. They tried this jump jump switch, which is actually really hard and actually most decent boilers don't do that. What most people do is actually you're basically, yeah, I brought my back foot forward. I brought my entire body weight over the front straps and I'm standing straight. So the worst thing can happen there. Essentially, if you take too long, you will touch them. Yup. The board one fly away, nothing will happen. You'll just touch down and then you can just switch your feet on the water. After that, So I would just say go for it. And as long as you keep your body weight forward nothing much can go wrong. Yeah. Because obviously if you put your way too far back then the foil comes out of the, the foil would just shoot up. Cause you have to be able to, that's typically why most people fail on a foiling, jive or an attack. They sh they shift their weight back because they've moved their foot back and then that board shoots away. It unbalances the board. But if you basically stepped forward or in front of the board, the foil is trying to lift anyway. So if you're over it yeah, I said, the worst that can happen with is happened as you touched down, it's a fairly safe way of doing it okay. You messed up, you've touched down, switch your foot and then keep going. Yeah. Whereas typically if you screw it up the other way, if you step backwards and you screwed up the oil flies up into your lines or flies in front of you and when you're winging. So yeah, so switching your foot is not actually not that hard to skill, as long as you as a few key things that you really need to do it. And it gets easy. The biggest thing, which people, when I explain it to them, they're like, Oh my God, why didn't I think of that is that you step forward, it's always stepping forward and not stepping back. Once you stop yourself from trying to slide your foot back and then slide your front foot forward at the same time, you just stepped forward. And not both your feet on the front of the board, it actually gets pretty easy. Okay. I'll have to practice it some more and it helps if you do it with a big board or longer board. Cause it's if you touched down, you're more, you're less likely to get stuck. Yeah, for sure. And you don't have to be as accurate with your foot placement and so on too, when you're on a bigger board and the bigger foil to a bigger stable foil helps a lot. Yeah. Like I, yeah, cause I can do it on a bigger board and the bigger foil, but not on my small board on my, yeah. I mean on small foils is actually, this is where balls come in because you have to do it fast. If you go in, if you actually go into your jive at full speed on a small foil, it'll just, it'll be just as stable as your big fo plus it'll be easier because you can actually correct the small foil better and it has less drag. So you get, you could keep up your speed easier too. Exactly. So the initial thing is that you just, you don't pussy out and you just go straight into that jive at good speed. And then it's fine. Oh, and another good tip is to jive into the wave because that will give you speed. Yeah. So especially what I do, if I'm out in six, seven nos yeah, the biggest screw up you can possibly do in those wins is the touchdown. So what I'll typically look for is a nice, like bump or a wave, and I'll jive on that and use that speed I can get from that wave to complete the drive. If I know I'm on a smaller phone, it's just really not enough wind to get going again. Cause a lot of times, if you jive in between the waves, then there's like you lose all your power that you get back winded and then you drop off the foil, right? Yeah. So basically just go straight into that face and it'll actually be a lot easier than if you did it in the flats. Cool. So let's talk a little bit about. How you ended up in Fuerteventura, I guess you were studying like computers, computer science or engineering type of stuff. So what, yeah. What made you decide to give up a career in that and and be a beach bum in Ventura? I learned to cut surf. That was the biggest problem. As soon as I learned to kitesurf, it was like it combined everything. I like, like speed and water, and being able to jump on land without killing myself. If you look at power cutting back then, and the pre two thousands, it was extremely dangerous. We were up, six, seven meter, foil kites jumping on land. And a lot of my friends got seriously injured. And so on. So for us, like water was like, Oh, great. Yeah, we can jump and if we screw up, it doesn't kill us and it doesn't hurt. So I got really addicted to kite surfing really fast. And then what's started as essentially my winter job here in Fordham, Ventura working for the flag beach center. Eventually the year later it was like, I'm just going to stay here. It's nice and warm. We've got good ways. And it's basically still Europe. Yeah. And I can kind here every day. And so how do you, so yeah, obviously you're just living the dream, this decided, okay, screw, screw that. And I'm going to live in a beautiful place. I'm very similar to you in that regards, but yeah. So how did you make it work? How did he make, how do you make a living? How can you make it all work? In the beginning, like I said, I was working for the flag beach center was like the main kind instructor there for a good number of years. And. Around it was, I started competing in 2000, like seriously, in 2003, I already had done some competitions in the UK, like 2002. And then in 2003, I started competing in the first peak DRA events. And then I think the German championships, I actually met some guys from Peter did kiteboarding like that. They were the first guys to offer me a proper deal as a rider. And so pretty much a year later I quit my job at flight beaches and instructor, and basically turned sort of full-time pro back then. And luckily within the designers, probably one of my best friends still he basically took me under his wing also. And, I was giving him the feedback on his kites, but he was also teaching me how to cue and these kites, how they're made. He pretty much taught me everything about the backend of the industry, supply chains, how cards are actually made, how serve plan works, everything the prepared me for what I do know. So yeah, so I was with Peter Lynn until 2009 writing for them and also helping them in the development for quite some time. And then, and in 2010 I decided to join . Initially that started up the fact that I just, I was sick of losing races to those guys with 19 meter kites. I was just basically wanted to see, plus I'm the boss army. And it was basically from the same home, Ty Tom design, and Germany's from Frankfurt. So we got along quite well. And then yeah, I was racing for them and I was team manager for them until 2013. And then yeah, I decided to say follow the money. And I went and did a year with gastro, which was not the most successful year. So also the time where everyone finally believed, Oh, great photo cards we'll win races. And I actually went to a tube cried brand, which was probably not the greatest idea. But after that I pretty much went to ozone after that pretty good five, six years with those guys. So it's a very interesting company to work with. But by the time I joined ozone, I had already opened my own kite shop basically here on the Island. Yeah. And also we, I had my own sort of foiled brand sort of the magma foils, which we tried to get working back then, which is a bit difficult from the islands here. And we had a bit of a bad luck when the production but also like in 2016, I started doing a bit of freelance design for foils, for for brands. So yeah, and now the way I earn my living is I have my shop. I actually took go over last year. I took over the North shore surf shop here. On the Island, he used to belong to probably the most famous German wind surfer around  his old Shaw. Oh yeah. So yeah, I been doing that, but besides that I've been basically freelance designing boards. Most of them you've probably seen from Indiana and I'm doing a lot of basically testing work for a lot of brands where their wings and their foibles. So some I can talk about some I can or NDAs, but and then also last year I decided to work with the guys from North, basically as a team rider on an R and D writer also. Cool. So pretty pretty interesting background there. So how many languages do you speak? Three and a half. Okay. English, German Spanish Indonesian sort of hangs on, but just don't practice it enough. So if you go there, you could probably speak home properly. Do you have any cool stuff? I see so many interesting toys behind you and your man-cave slip, but anything you can these are just some other flaws. All right. I typically tend to switch foils every day, but the one cool thing I have here is a mass from a guy called Kyle in the us, which basically when I'm testing allows me to not have a different mask for every foil company I ride. So basically it's a custom carbon mask and you can basically put different adapters on here. For example, this is the Moses adapter. And then if I want to ride a Northwell with it I just put a North adapter on it and if I want to write an Indiana foil, I put in Indiana doctor, I want, wanted to write an access book for the nexus adapter. So when I'm testing them and trying to figure stuff out, I basically removed the mask. This is the variable, ah, interesting. All foils, right differently, depending on their masks. Cause you've got so many different mask designs and I also like it cause it's a lot lighter than almost all the other carbon masks I have. Huh. Interesting. Quite like it, maybe send me that link and I'll put it in the description down below. If anyone's interested in getting a custom mass email or they sent me a proper, like he's got a new sort of stronger mask now for waiting you between too much freestyle and freestyle is never good for foils or for the boards when you land badly. So nicely, like stronger reinforced plate and so on. So for for the North kites, I'm not really familiar. North foils, the, what do you use for winging? What's your most, your favorite foil that you're using right now for foil? Okay. It depends if I'm either in the waves or if I'm freestyling, I have two favorites. This is the one where people are gonna freak out at me. So basically my favorite big wave foil is this low aspect, little aspect, super old school. But the coolest thing about the North one is the fuselage is only 60 centimeters. So it's short, right? And this thing's not slow. So it's actually, this is a 1500, but this works in everything. I've had this in super horrible trivial and really currently big waves. And I survived a lot better than I have with the high aspect wings of this. And I actually have a lot of fun. I have less, I ride this most of the time. If the waves are actually really good, cause it just really works. And I know it's completely contrary to where everyone else is going at the moment and it's designed as a beginner wing, but for waves. Yep. How well it works. There's definitely a lot of merit to having a lower aspects foils for I guess just control and like you said, like going through whitewater, certain things that they just don't drop off as easily, too. They're easier to, it's just a lot less scary when you've got basically an overhead wave breaking behind you and just, yeah, you hit a bit of turbulence and I don't care. Whereas with the high aspect, when you're like, Oh, I'm wobbling you to, so what am I freestyling? So for freestyling, my main way, I'm using it at the moment. It's actually two different ones for like lighter winds. I use the North, the  it's basically it's called the high aspect lane. But how much can you show the curve of the foil? It's your typical sort of downward going. Oh, as a little bit up turn on the tips, huh? Yeah. Sort of twist. Yeah. But works really good. I tend to ride this on the long fuselage. Actually, this is the 700, the 70 centimeter fuselage. I quite like it for freestyle because it just got a bit more acceleration and pop and pumps out of like the jumps a bit better. So if you landed slightly wrong and you still get up and pump it out with the performance, it has quite a bit, and it works really nice and normal wave conditions. You've got nice and clean conditions. But I tend to, I don't know if he said already, but how many square centimeters is the surface? Normal surface area. It's 1250 and it's projected 1230. Okay, cool. It's actually pull up the screen sharing again, is that the one you're using and And the most recent way video. Yeah. Part of it sometime in that video. Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm using. Yes. So yeah, I actually wanted to ask you this is the move I've been trying to pull off and struggling with the last names they keep. I don't know what, like the wing, I can't get the wing right on the landing. So can you kinda maybe walk us through this move? Step-by-step the Flocker or the upwind three 60, again the most important crux of this move initially is that you keep the wing low off the one side and really opened. A lot of people, tried to bring up the wing over their head way too early, and that's, what's involves you then turning it into a push loop and then crashing. And the other part is just after takeoff. What you really need to do is like when you you kick up, you need to twist the board first. You're trying to one 80 the board first, and then you look over your shoulder and the board will follow. If you try to rotate your body without twisting the board first, it's a, it doesn't allow you to rotate around far enough. Yeah. This right here, like right before you jump, you go down with the nose. And I think that's what a lot of people miss when they're trying to jump is like doing a little downward push. And then you really want to pop that for up at a steep angle, upwards, right? To get some air. That's foil jumping one Oh one. That's this, regardless if it's wind foiling, wing, foiling, or kind foiling any foil jump, you got to use the foil as a ramp. So you need to, if you want a nice big jump, you have to use a big ramp, which means get that nose low to the water. And then pointed up that's what's going to get you launched. If you if you don't do that, you'll just get into a flat it'll jump. It's if you've taken off a small piece of chocolate as compared to hitting like a two meter round so that's just your normal jumping. You should do that. Any foil jump you do is try to get as low as possible and then try to point out as aggressively as you can. The second part of the flux essentially is that twists is everything over it's like when you're up in the air, you need to basically flip the board over. You want to point that nose down so that you've done half the rotation already so that when you let your, the rest of your body follow that that rotation, that sort of the board is already around. So if you don't go around far enough, you tend to land off center. So here, the nose is up and then see, I've twisted the nose around before the rest of my body's come around. I've already gone 180 degrees with the board. And then as the board touches down, I've already gone, three quarters at least of the way around with the board. And the next sort of important part is that, again, as you're in the air, as you're rotating, you need to keep that wing stable off to the side. You don't try to lift it up. When you see people learning. The first mistake they do is they try to get jumped and then they lift up the wing over their head as they're trying to spin. And that actually does two things. It stops your rotation and also the wing will then try to lead that rotation. Which is a new trick in itself. If you're high enough, it'll turn into a push loop. It's it's like a kite loop with the weight. But that's not something you want to do when you're learning. This was scary. Yeah. And you don't like too that you don't want to jump too high to do it. Yeah. Actually height will help you, but it's important that you, if you keep that wing off to the side, so you could keep the wing more or less hot head level. Yeah. As you go around, you'll laugh and then you can just basically rotate the wing over it over your head. Once you've landed. If you try to rotate the wing over your head, when you're in the air, that's when it will slam you because the wing will go behind you and then dive straight down. And that's the most scary part. It, I broke three different carbon maps before I learned that. Because I'd just be landing like super hard, because I basically lead with the wing and turn it into a Porsche loop and then slammed the foil sideways onto the water. It looks easy here, but there's a few things, like I said, the most important part. If you keep your wing low, there did this slightly wrong. You saw that wind just hit that water quite hard. Yeah. The only ones I've pulled off where actually, where I hit the water, it seems to seem to help me. When I was able to pull them off, it gives you a bit of balance, but it's just, it means that you've raised up your hands before you rotated. Yeah. And in the end, it's not good for your foil or for your wing when you constantly whack it. Cause here you hit it almost like flat onto the water here. I just, I had it rotated too early. Like I tried to bring the wing around too early. See there's over my head instead of lower to the side. And that's what basically causes it to go into that loop. Interesting. And yeah, so the way to prevent it from going to loops you keep it off to the side and you really, you keep your back hand low, you try to push actually that back handled down as you're trying to bring that around that again is remember, like when you push down on that back handle, it causes the wing to go up. Okay. The reason that typically tends to drop down is because you've also then lifted your hand up as you've tried to bring it around. You probably see it there that I actually, as a, went around my, my, my backhand Rose up on that crash basically to watch my back hand. And now it's going to go up, you see how it's up and over. So you catch the wind basically the wrong way or exactly. So what remember, like when you're just controlling the wing on the beach, if you want the, the tip to come up, you push down and if you raise your bad count, the wind goes down. It's the same thing that applies here. So if you forget to keep your hand low and basically push that backhand away from you in that trick. And so she, my backend should extend out and it's hard to see behind. You can see they're pushing it down hard and then it just comes around. All right. Cool. Thanks for the tips. So good. Good move. I see a lot of guys, but I dunno, like I was watching balls. Mueller was probably the first to do that. Yeah. I like watching his videos too. I spent too much time on this one because I actually unlearned some of the other cooler stuff. Cause it's actually, this is a fairly safe one because you don't tend to hit the board when you screw it up. Whereas actually the first rotation I learned, which is don't have any videos of, and I'm actually at the moment gotten scared of doing it is basically the backside rotation to that. So basically jump up and you rotate the other way. Yeah. That's the hamstring killer. It's if you screw it up, you hit the rail of the board. Oh, all the time. And yeah. And what we've been doing too many of these blockers and like now I've gotten scared of doing the other one. So my, my goal for the next month, essentially just relearn all the backside tricks now. Cause they're actually harder. Yeah. Then in terms of the board you're using, do you have that in your man-cave as well? No, I'm the boss of the problem is I've had a bit of a nightmare last week. I've been trashed three boards, so they're all in repair. Yeah, rocks. The downside of when you ride without Alicia is that sometimes you forget the are conditions where you should have Alicia. So ended up with boards and the reef. But essentially I, I ride a lot of different boards. It's part of the job anyway, just to test as much as possible and also just trying to figure out what works and doesn't, but I tried to write a smallest possible as soon as the wind goes down, especially for wave riding. A lot of the videos will see me, like on the 33 liter, it's a four, four. Yeah. But then for freestyle, if I'm trying to take it more serious, I'll use actually larger board, like a 60 liter 65 liter board. Cause it's just a lot easier if you land that don't sink down to your waist immediately. What's your body weight. Can you share 87 kilos? So he's seven kilos, 60 liters is what you'd like to use. Okay. So if you could order a new board exactly the way you wanted it, but what dimensions in volume would you get? So if we're talking freestyle yeah, 60, 65 liters something like four, eight, four, seven. I've got the luxury of got guys like Indiana, which were pretty much, let me do whatever I want with my boards. So I basically here's the design make it and they're like, okay, And they'll do it and then we'll release it next year. So I have that luxury. So that's the freestyle board. You probate in that one video where I'm one, that's 65. That's the prototype for next year. So that's my freestyle thing. No gimmicks. No, concaves no cocktails. Just purely designed for performance to get off the water and then for wave riding. Yeah. I'll use anything that's small. At the moment, I'm just basically trying to get the North boards to work and figure out how are we going to improve those this sort of work. And they're very similar to the KT type style boards. You've got the cutouts in the back and the kick tails, which personally not a big fan of on caves on boards. I tend to like a board to not break when it hits the water. I wanted to glance off, which I know was not the most comfortable for the knees, but I just. I like the fact that boards don't try to stick to the water when they touched on after Jones. Just seeing. Yeah. I was talking to the wild about that too. He, and he says, yeah, he likes the boards that have more of a soft, softer bottom, a little bit convex, or just but yeah, when you touched down on the water, they just handled more, they're more neutral than having like hard rails and sharp edges and concaves and things like that. Yeah. I, sharp edges I think, are quite useful for winging cause they prevent this, the side slip of the board. Depends where you put the hard rail, like on my boards, I tend to like to have that transition from the bottom onto the bevel, quite sharp because essentially if you're out in six, seven knots, that sharpness allows you to stop that sideways, drift a bit and still allow you to displace back. Whereas you have a very round shape, which actually lends itself better for freestyle. Cause actually the easiest board you can possibly learn, like the three sixties art is an inflatable cause they bought the fat round nose with basically no sharpness in that reel whatsoever. And those you can get almost completely wrong landings on and you can still slide it around really easily if Congress forgiving. But the bad side of that is in those conditions where you need that board to display soft wind. It's not going to do that with, without some sharpness on the rail. So when you're taking off it, like in light wind, Do you think you're like, that's something I've been wondering. Do you use the speed of the board to get planing and then lift off? Or do you lift off with the foil before you even get up to planning speed? No. The biggest revelation to me was actually, it was the beginning of last year is taking one of my old Kifle race boards and those big 90 liter tankers, 70 centimeters wide. I took that and I took a wind surfing foil and a bottle of that. And then that got going so much better than anything else I had. And down to the fact that those boards is designed for acceleration, because the problem with, if you take like an sup board, sure. They pump up easily on the kick tail. They allow the board to rise up, but as you have no apparent wind. The wings we have are just not as efficient as a kite or windsurfing sail. So you'll pop yourself up and essentially immediately back wind your wing because there's just not enough apparent wind on the wing to work. Whereas if you get a board that can actually pick up speed with very little resistance, by the time you get up on onto the foil, there's enough apparent wind for your wing to actually start engaging in pulling. So like six, seven knots having a board that when you pumped it once would basically lurch forward on the water, like a meter and a half. He did that three times you'd cover like almost a 10 meter distance, and then you'd have almost five knots of apparent wind. And all of a sudden the wing is up and you're going, and you're going with no wind whatsoever. So that's why on my own boards that I prefer. You won't see any concaves or any kick tails or any cutouts or anything. Cause I like the, having that maximum acceleration at the beginning to get the foil and the wing to work together quickly. Do you have a video of that on your channel session? Log number four, a wind falling old race sports. Okay. Okay. So tell us about this board that you're saying planes and really light wins, right? Yeah. I, in like the one I'm on here on this video is an as a team event, this was probably the best, most expensive race board you could buy back in 2012. Is this for kite racing or tide racing before foiling started? And I basically have, I think it's the Moses wind foil set up at the bottom of this here, it's fairly windy when I, first time I tried it, but these boards are designed to actually have a V more of a V-shape in the back. So it slightly convex in that sense and really play and yeah, they have virtually no resistance in the water. So when you pump, they just basically start planning. They just lurch forward, which if you put a foil on the bottom of it is great because they'll get the foil up to it's essentially flying speed very quickly with very little resistance. So that's a good tip. So basically if you want to get going and really light, wind, get a board that, that just planes easily and obviously a little bit longer. Good, good. The is not that long. It's a six foot board for theaters, but Because I remember this is 2019. This was actually pretty small for most people right back then. And I think the standard back then was like people in 120 liter boards when they were starting. But the concept scales down quite nicely. My, my 60 liter board is basically based on the exact same concept. Your maximum volume distribution is right onto your front foot slalom, solemn type rocker lines go broker line. Yeah. And like I said, the most important part is to not have any, anything that drags on the bottom of the hole. It's like probably the worst culprit for Reedy light wind winging is probably the cut-out cut out, works really well on a planing board. Typically over 10 50 knots where it actually starts basically, creating some air bubbles. But for those just displacing speeds that we're at to actually drags quite a bit until you get up to a certain amount of speed. So it just costs more energy to get a board like that. So if you extend your rail along by not having anything cut out of the bag or any sort of kick tail, it basically allows the board to just get onto that sort of acceleration very quickly without a lot of resistance. Yeah. I've noticed too, like when you have a flat tail, it allows you to push off the tail a little bit to lift off, right? Like you get like actually forces the board forward more. Whereas if we have like our standard sub kick tail thing, when you kick the back, the board rolls up right. And pump up on the phone a little bit earlier, it seems like great. Yeah. It does essentially is engage the foil. And then for example, that works okay on like really big files. But especially now that we're on high aspect, foils, actually real high aspect foils where you got fun, not a lot of surface area and quite it'll they'll stall. If they, if you put them at a too high angle of attack, they'll stall out. So it doesn't help you. If your board allows you to get it at this angle and a shove it up in the water, as soon as you can flat things going to go, I don't have enough speed and you drop off again. Whereas a flat tail board, but it does as soon. Yeah. You'd actually over kick the back and it goes forward. The fact that tail is now blocked, it will actually force the board down. So any energy you've put downwards is actually going to be converted energy. Intercise you're pumping you accelerate forward. So all your energy is actually going into forward momentum rather than getting you up. But especially high aspect foils. They like this. So they'll get to speed. They'll engage. And then by the time you rise up, they are at a decent amount of speed to fly. Interesting. Yeah. No, that makes sense. I like that concept. And then you don't think that gift flat tail gets in the way sometimes like just drags in the water. I guess it depends if you're on waves or just, that's not my experience. Yeah. I ride waves with flat back boards. The only thing that sort of does drag, if you don't have a very wide board, but if I take my 60 liter or 70 liter board on it, two waves, I can't carve as hard because I've got almost, yeah. 15 inches of tail and that'll drag 60 liters. So if I try to Carhartt that rail is going to touch, but the back I've typically not touched, it's got to realize if you don't have a kick tail, you don't have all that extra tail in the back. You can position the foil a lot farther back towards the tail. So that. Essentially geometry where your foils flying and you've got something behind your foil that could touch the wave. It's not really an issue there. Okay. So actually, let's talk about that a little bit. Obviously having the wider square tail is as good for beginners because it's more stable and so on, but then yeah. Having like a more like a pin tail type shape, it just really makes it easier to carve through tighter turns or be on the way it's being more in the pocket without touching. Yeah. Or essentially the future will go and like more of a dynamic level of shape where we won't have a lot of bevel in the front of the board, but they'll tightened out towards the back where we've got quite a lot of bevel in the back, and that will allow hard carving over the tail and you still have enough flatness or around us in the nose that, if you do a jump or something that it doesn't attach, it just bounces off the water and allowing for easier recovery. I actually, I think I saw something from day from Dave Kalama. That looked pretty interesting. I think one of his downwind boards he's got like that type of tail shape where it's completely flat. There's no more Tictail, but his bevel radius cut SIM quite harsh towards the back. So if we start specializing more into sort of, this is our wave boards for winging, they'll start, tend to end to look like that sort of like that various sort of sharp. Bevel towards the back where you're taking all that area out where you don't really need it for wave riding. And then for freestyle, you will still need that wider back. It's essentially like in windsurfing where it will essentially have specialized wave wing boards and freestyle wing boards and speed wing boards and whatever else. Yeah. One thing is I find that board design Ferber design is constrained a little bit by the plate Mount because you got that those two flat boxes that basically force you to have a flat section in the back of the board. Whereas if you had a Tuttle or whatever you could have like you said, you could bring that thing right up to the very point of the, exactly you have to get out of the V. That would be for me personally, that would probably be the best interesting thing, but not another issue is actually you do lose a lot more if you don't have the tracks. It's having that adjustability between foils goes the biggest issue for, for me, if I didn't have, if I had like only a Tuttle box would be, I wouldn't be able to write as many files as I do. And there's a huge spread. For example, actually my favorite of all times, like this thing here, which is the Moses thousands, actual high aspect, wing aspect, ratio of 10, but it's also got like a, more of a K-12 geometry. So the mass is actually really far forward. It's close to the front wing and I have to ride this at least five or six centimeters farther forward than I ride all my other foils. And then not being able to move that around would be like, I have to have a different board for every different style of a foil that I ride, which is just not practical. Yeah. Cause if it was too far back, you basically can't put your back foot back far enough on the board to, to control it, basically. Yeah. Yeah. Also, the boards all work, with the rocker lines we have at a certain foot placement and there's no point of moving around too much or else the borderline leader, if you're too far forward, it will start breaking. If it's too far back, it'll always tend to do early. So yeah, having the tracks is good. The actual thing is there, isn't a huge amount of gains from having a little bit of Wii or having just a tunnel the actual sort of drag effect or the Quanta effect doesn't scale as as aggressively as most people think. Cause I've raced with. Huge adopter pedestals, like total box to play adopters, for sure. Like massive. And you would think they dragged like tremendously, but compared to a normal Tuttle, it drags a little bit, but not at a really noticeable level. So for me, for example, when I started using the gophers, that's how I did it. I, my guys are all had that big, massive aluminum adapter on there, and I still got going on small waves. It didn't drag enough to actually have a big detrimental effect. So most plates don

The Coronavirus has caused us to shelter in our homes for the foreseeable future. One of the few reasons to leave home would be to get some outdoor exercise. Fortunately our area is blessed with many great walking trails. This is the history that can be found along one of them. 110 years ago this week surveyors for the Boston and Maine Railroad were in Hinsdale mapping out a rail route along the east side of the Connecticut River. In 1911, newspapers reported that 1,200 men were working on the construction of the Fort Hill rail line, a majority of them were immigrant Italian laborers. Building the rail line, from the Asheulot River to the east side of the Connecticut River opposite today's Riverside Industrial Center, was dangerous and expensive. Here's the story of the trail...

On this week's special edition of the Final Score podcast, the Catoctin football team discusses its state championship victory. Coach Doug Williams, senior receiver Eli Frei and senior running back and defensive lineman Jake Baker join host Greg Swatek to talk about the Cougars' 31-8 victory over Dunbar in the Class 1A championship game on Dec. 7 in Annapolis. Coach Williams and the players talk about what the victory meant to them and what made the team so special. Coach Williams talked about the ways the team improved over the course of the season. Frei talked about why the offense was so explosive after it average more than 40 points per game over the course of the season, and Baker explained why the defense improved so much over the course of the season and why in was able to make so many impactful plays in the playoff victories over Fort Hill and Dunbar, a pair of perennial state powers in 1A.

With the Catoctin football team set to play in its first state final in roughly a decade, the team's star running back, Carson Sickeri, and his father, Jamie, an assistant coach, are the guests this week on The Final Score Podcast. The Sickeris chat with host Greg Swatek about the Cougars' big shutout win over perennial Class 1A power Fort Hill last week and what makes their offense so dynamic. Catoctin is averaging more than 40 points per game this season. Jamie shares his back story growing up as a high school running back in a small, Western Pennsylvania football town and the family lineage at the position. Carson has reached even greater heights this season with more than 2,000 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns. They also talk about what lies ahead, as Catoctin is set to face another perennial state power in Dunbar in the 1A championship game Saturday afternoon, and what they feel it will be like taking the field at Navy's Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. Up first, though, FNP sports writers John Cannon and Joe Ferraro join Greg to discuss the historical milestone, as Frederick County placed three teams in the state football final in the same year for the first time. They share thoughts and insights about Linganore's game with Damascus in the 3A final, Catoctin's game with Dunbar in the 1A championship game, as well as Middletown's game with Potomac in the 2A final.

In episode four of this podcast, local activists in Fort Hill and neighboring east Macon community talk about the struggles and triumphs of the place they call home.

In the center of Boston rises the small neighborhood of Fort Hill, on top of which sits Highland Park, designed in the 1700s by Frederick Olmsted. Patriots stored gunpowder here during the Revolutionary War, and a tower fit for Repunzel commemorates their efforts. The abolitionist writer William Lloyd Garrison fought against slavery from a house on this hill. And now the battle for urban housing affordability rages on these streets.

May 22, 2014 at the Boston Athenæum. Although historic Boston has a reputation as one of the best-preserved cities in America, it has always been a subject to the constant change of any busy commercial center. Lecturer and historian Anthony Sammarco, author of some sixty books on the history and development of Boston, will reveal sixty- eight major Boston locations that are no more, including schools, churches, theaters, grand mansions, dockyards, racetracks, parks, stores, hotels, offices, and factories. Organized chronologically, Sammarco’s lecture will features much-loved institutions that failed to stand the test of time, victims of Boston’s redevelopment era, and old-fashioned hotels and sports facilities that once seemed beyond updating or refurbishment. Vanished landmarks on this virtual tour include Franklin Place, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, the Hancock House, Gleason’s Publishing Hall, Fort Hill, Franklin Street, the Boston Coliseum, Boylston Market, the Merchants Exchange, Haymarket Square, earlier homes of the Boston Public Library, Boston City Hall, Horticultural Hall, Boston Latin School, and the Museum of Fine Arts, the once celebrated Revere House hotel, Huntington Avenue Grounds, Charlestown City Hall, the Cyclorama, Readville Trotting Park and Race Track, East Boston Airport, East Boston Ferries, Braves Field, Massachusetts State Prison, the original Boston Opera House, the Boston Aquarium, the beloved Howard Athenaeum of old Scollay Square, and Dudley Street Station.

Today we'll return to the Cove Springs Nature Preserve for a visit to the wetland for a quick lesson in geomorphology, which is the study of the shape of landforms. This city park is located north of downtown Frankfort on Highway 127 just north of the intersection with Wilkinson Boulevard. River systems can be classified by their basic shapes. Old streams, like the lower part of the Mississippi River have very low gradients, that is, the elevation changes very little over long distances. If water can go downhill only so fast and you can't pile it up, what happens when there is too much water? It spreads out. A stream or river will flood when there is more water coming in to its valley than can flow out. One way old streams handle extra water is with broad flat valleys, flood plains. Another way is to change the length of the river itself. The curves and loops in rivers, called meanders, are a balance between the amount of water a river has to carry and its gradient. This wetland is a cutoff meander. Many thousands of years ago, the looping Kentucky River once took a path around Fort Hill along Holmes Street and directly through this valley. The area is an ephemeral wetland, meaning the area alternates between being flooded and dry. Wetlands are an important habitat used by migrating and native birds, frogs, salamanders, snakes, deer, raccoon and many other animals and plants. The diversity of the things that live here make the area important. For more information on Cove Springs, visit www.frankfortparksandrec.com.
