This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we sit down with the newly crowned 2025 E-Foil Surf Foil World Tour (SFT) World Champion – the undefeated e-foil racer who took the title in the season finale in Abu Dhabi.Fresh off dominating the inaugural SFT season, the Florida-based ripper (and Flightboard early adopter) joins us to break down what it actually feels like to turn a five-year hunch into a world championship, how e-foil racing went from “nice idea” to a full-blown global tour in record time, and why this sport is exploding faster than anyone predicted.We go deep on:- From kite-smash accidents to building one of the first e-foil schools in South Florida  - The wild Atlanta Foil Fest Enduro with Brian Grubb, Nick Leeson, and 20 riders dodging submerged trees at full throttle  - Unsanctioned full-send dawn patrols through Amsterdam's canals (don't try this at home)  - Gear geek-out: custom shims, chopped tails, 900 Flow vs 707 Flux wings, aftermarket race props, and why everything is still basically stock… for now  - Why full-face helmets and downhill MTB armor are becoming mandatory at 33–35 mph  - Mental warfare on the beach, prop-wash tactics, hot launches, and pulling 3+G turns  - Traveling the world with boards but no batteries (and how the Flightboard rental network saves the day)  - The massive progression from the first dealer races in 2022 to riders now training full-time and closing the gap second by second  - Where e-foil racing is headed: open-ocean courses, city canal sprints, Everglades gator-chasing, and boards that will eventually hit 50 mph  Year one of the Surf Foil World Tour is in the books, prize money is real, brands are paying attention, and the level is skyrocketing. The champ gives us the unfiltered look at what it took to stay on top — and why 2026 is about to get even crazier.If you've ever wondered what the cutting edge of foiling actually looks, sounds, and feels like… this is it.Follow the Surf Foil Tour → https://www.surffoilworldtour.com Justin Chait → https://www.instagram.com/_justinchait_/

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we catch up with Tom Hartmann – tour manager of the GKA Kite World Tour, Wingfoil World Tour, and founder of the brand-new Surf Foil World Tour (SFT) – fresh from the biggest water sports spectacle the Middle East has ever seen in Abu Dhabi and now chasing the final Kite World Tour stops in Brazil.Tom takes us behind the scenes of the massive nine-day Abu Dhabi event on the soon-to-be “Miami Beach of the Gulf” (Fahid Island), where kite big air, wingfoil racing, e-foil, and wakefoil all shared the spotlight, 2,500+ spectators showed up on weekends, and the whole thing was broadcast live on TV across the region. With €10,000 prize money per SFT discipline, perfect glassy morning conditions, and a level of organization that left athletes speechless, this was the perfect season finale for the inaugural Surf Foil World Tour.- Abu Dhabi deep dive – why foiling (e-foil, wakefoil, wing, kite, surf, pump) is exploding in the Gulf and how the event showcased every flavor of the sport.- E-foil racing at the highest level yet – Justin Chait remains undefeated in 2025, Agnes takes the women's division, and we talk 3G corners, wingtip-out carving, and why technical skill still beats raw speed.- Wakefoil's breakout moment – first fully independent SFT wakefoil comp, drone + boat broadcasting magic, and why wakefoiling could be the most spectator-friendly foiling discipline out there.- The massive growth nobody saw coming – from a hopeful start to nine events worldwide in year one, with a 2026 calendar dropping in the next couple weeks.- What's next for SFT in 2026 – more surf foil, downwind, wakefoil, the return of the epic indoor Düsseldorf pump & wing event, and a brand-new Foil Assist discipline that mixes propulsion take-offs with pure pumping sections.- Plus Tom's love for açaí bowls at Brazilian sunset and maybe sneaking in some surf trips to Nicaragua or Costa Rica before heading home.Year one of the Surf Foil World Tour is officially in the books and it's safe to say foiling just went global – big budgets, big crowds, and bigger stoke.

Hang loose! In episode 149 of Overthink, Ellie and David talk about all things surfing. They explore the long history of wave-riding across the globe, from Peru to West Africa, and consider how surfing helps us to reimagine social issues and what surfing reveals about the connection between flow and freedom. Is surfing the pinnacle of human life? How has the sportification of surfing directly contravened surfing's anti-capitalist ethos? Why is the average surfer an image of white masculinity? And how is this image tied to indigenous erasure? In the Substack bonus segment, your hosts discuss the similarities between surfing and skating, surfing as an art, and the existential risk of surfing.Works DiscussedDaniel Brennan, Surfing and the Philosophy of SportKevin Dawson, Undercurrents of Power: Aquatic Culture in the African DiasporaWilliam Finnegan, Barbarian Days: A Surfing LifeAaron James, Surfing with Sartre: An Aquatic Inquiry Into a Life of MeaningPeter Kreeft, I Surf, Therefore I Am: A Philosophy of SurfingAileen Moreton Robinson, “Bodies That Matter: Performing White Possession on the Beach”Peter J.

In this episode, I'm joined science-communication researcher Miguel Vissers for a funny, honest, and wildly insightful look at how science actually reaches the public—and why it so often goes wrong. Check out the links below to see Miguel's work and check back for updates as one of the pieces of research we discuss will be available soon. We start with the question, why science needs its own communication field and whether this is a unique case. We also cover Miguel's area of expertise and look at how press releases shape the news you see—sometimes a little too directly. The conversation also touches on lessons learned during the pandemic regarding transparency, trust, and mixed messaging. Why scientists, journalists, governments, and influencers all talk past each other. And finally… how Joe Rogan went from “gateway to science curiosity” to “uh oh.”Takeaways: The podcast episode delves into the intricacies of science communication, particularly its role in bridging the gap between scientific research and public understanding. The challenges faced by scientists in conveying their findings effectively. The balance that science communicators must maintain between promoting scientific advancements and critically evaluating the implications of such research for society. The necessity of transparency in science communication, especially in light of the public's increasing skepticism towards scientific authorities and findings.

Todd Glaser is a world-renowned surf photographer, surfer, waterman, and longtime friend of Conner Coffin. In this episode of the 805 Beer Cold Beer Surf Club, the two share a deep and nostalgic conversation that traces a lifetime spent chasing waves, images, and meaning, diving into what it's like balancing the beautiful chaos of parenthood with a career built on sprinting toward storms and swimming into heavy lineups with only a camera in hand. Todd reflects on growing up in San Diego, learning photography through bodyboarding, and discovering his craft the old-school way – shooting film, logging detailed swell notes, mailing rolls to labs, and hoping the shots came out. He and Conner revisit Todd's leap from surf-shop grom to Brooks Institute student to traveling full-time with Kelly Slater as one of the most respected lensmen in the game. They share stories from their years on the road together, early Surfer and Surfing assignments, and the image that led to Todd's first cover and changed the trajectory of his career. They chat about iconic sessions in Tahiti, how Jack Johnson shot every frame of September Sessions, as well as Todd's 15-plus years traveling with Kelly, a partnership that grew into deep friendship and a new book documenting the journey. Todd opens up about how becoming a parent and slowing down travel has reshaped his approach to both surfing and photography, and why keeping things simple, staying curious, and seeking authentic moments behind the lens still guide everything he does.

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we sit down with Sascha Lange, the 41-year-old German windsurf coach, personal trainer, and author of the brand-new wind bible called "Never Not Windsurfing – Defeat Age & Keep the Stoke Alive". Fresh off a one-year writing marathon (and still hand-packing and shipping every single copy himself), Sascha joins us to talk about why he poured his soul into the ultimate fitness and longevity guide for windsurfers over 40 – and why even the youngest PWA pros are already using it.From his beginnings as a passionate windsurfer in 1997 to becoming one of the most sought-after coaches in the sport, Sascha explains how analyzing YouTube clips of his clients at midnight led to hyper-specific training programs that fix exactly what's holding riders back on the water. With contributions from over 50 of the biggest names in windsurfing – Björn Dunkerbeck, Sarah-Quita Offringa, Marcilio Browne, Ricardo Campello, Victor Fernandez, Gollito Estredo, and an epic foreword from Captain Paul Watson, plus extra-long contribution from the godfather himself, Balz Müller – this isn't just another fitness book.Why “Never Not Windsurfing”? Turning 40 sparked the idea: Sascha is fitter now than ever and wanted to prove age is just a number if you train smart.Book Structure & Philosophy: From decade-specific body changes to mobility, functional strength, balance & coordination, breathing techniques, biohacking (sleep, sunlight, cold plunging), and a full chapter on designing your own success plan – pick what you need, when you need it.Who It's For: Primarily the 40+ crew (weekend warriors, parents, people with real jobs and no trade winds), but young pros are already stealing the advanced stability, endurance, and mental-game tools. Works for wing foiling too.Real-Life Impact: How 10–15 minute targeted sessions beat three-hour gym marathons, why your core is the “transmission” between sail and board, and how small consistent wins stop you starting every season from scratch.Cold Plunging, Breathing & Biohacking: Sascha's daily reset rituals, why nasal breathing through an ice bath is the new meditation, and how to use cold exposure without freaking out.The Captain Paul Watson Foundation: €1 from every book goes straight to ocean protection – plus Paul Watson himself wrote the foreword because the oceans are our playground and the animals' living room.Behind-the-Scenes Madness: Self-publishing both English and German editions, hand-writing dedications, midnight post-office runs, and why the book is stitched (not just glued) so it literally lasts forever.What's Next: Online “Fit for Surfing” programs, windsurf retreats (Vancouver Island anyone?), and maybe… a wing-foiling version one day.Whether you're chasing your first solid gybe, still ripping at 60, or a pro looking for that extra edge, *Never Not Windsurfing* is built to keep you on the water longer, stronger, and stoked for life.

This weeks intro, we talk about how surfing is so different to other sports in that , as, you're normally still a participant as you watch footage (and therefore have so much more empathy knowing how hard that is!!).  We then go onto talk about how challenging we both find surfing (and therefore how incredibly rewarding it can be!).  Will then talks about a surf he couldn't get a wave or even stand up at times but that he was able to use it as fuel to get extra motivated for his next session and make amends.  Liam is loving his FireWire mashup and is enjoying using it in every session - with the aim of seeing what he can do to progress his technique knowing the board will respond more and more reliably the more he rides it (rather than constantly changing up the quiver).  In mind body stoke, Will talks about his pre surf trip worries regarding his knee and whether he'll be able to make the most of tenerife.  Liam shares wisdom about staying in the moment in life and in surfing - how that one main hack will create more progression in our lives than anything else.  Stay stoked!  Will & Liam

This episode is brought to you by Villa Carina Apartments in beautiful Bonaire. In this episode, we sit down with Björn Dunkerbeck, the 56-year-old windsurfing legend with 42 PWA World Titles (more than any athlete in any sport), 32+ years with Red Bull, and a personal best of 103.68 km/h over 500 m. Fresh off double-hip surgery and pain-free for the first time in years, Björn joins Luc from Lüderitz, Namibia, where he's chasing the outright windsurf speed world record during the month-long November window at the infamous Lüderitz Speed Channel. From the early days of 16-knot records in Weymouth to breaking 50 knots in a hand-dug Namibian trench, Björn walks us through the 50-year evolution of speed sailing, the physics of wind angle, water flatness, and why 8–10 m wide is now “as good as it gets” for a channel you can't fall out of at 100 km/h.Channel Evolution & Record Progression: How speed sailing jumped from 30 knots in the South of France to 40 in Saint-Marie-la-Mer, 45 by Thierry Bielak, then exploded in Walvis Bay and finally Lüderitz—where a kitesurfer named Sebastien Cattelan dug the first trench, and six riders broke 50 knots in one week (2012–13).Lüderitz 2025 Setup: Björn's first sessions in “perfect south-easter” conditions, why 45–50 knots of wind is the sweet spot before chop kills speed, and how a scratched fin or lack of starting-area depth can end your run before it begins.Post-Surgery Comeback: At 115 kg and 56 years young, how titanium hips have restored confidence, why Severne sails (5.2–5.7 m²), 40 cm Starboard speed boards, and custom fins are dialed, and the mental edge of knowing “I can still do this.”Gear & Technique for 100 km/h: Why boards are only 227 cm long / 35–45 L, how you rail the upwind third of the channel, and the art of body-position micro-adjustments to keep a 40 cm board from catapulting in full-power 5.2 conditions.Wipeouts & Safety: “Your day is over after a big one.” Helmet + impact vest = minimum; grit + not crashing = the real safety plan.Getting Into Speed Sailing: Download the WaterSpeed app (free), track your 100 m / 250 m / 500 m times anywhere, then upload to GPS-SpeedSurfing.com and join the Dunkerbeck Speed Challenge (50+ countries, 10th year running). Start on whatever gear you have—25 knots becomes 30, then 40…Family Legacy: Four kids, two girls, two boys. Son Liam (17)—triple U21 wave world champ, former U18 Lüderitz record holder (80+ km/h)—currently training on Maui. Youngest Daniel (13 next week) already ripping waves and speed. How Björn transitioned from pro dominance to proud dad without losing the fire.Bonaire & Dunkerbeck Pro Center: 10 years strong at Sorobon's turquoise lagoon—Defi Wind Bonaire returns June 16–21, 2026 (111 spots only). From 5-year-olds in harnesses to 90-year-olds still planing, it's the world's safest speed playground.Foiling vs Fin: Björn's light-wind foil arsenal (6.0–10.0 m² + Phantom 960/1950/910 wings) as low-wind speed training, why foils won't touch Lüderitz (not enough depth, too much drag), and whether sub-40 cm masts could ever push foils past 100 km/h.The Limit? Björn's take: 100 km/h average on 500 m is very possible; top speed >103.68 km/h likely. Beyond 105 km/h, cavitation theories split the experts—we'll know when we get there.Red Bull Family: 32 years, 800+ athletes, from windsurfing's early days to F1 and America's Cup. Plus Björn's long involvement with Wings for Life spinal cord research.Follow Björn - https://www.instagram.com/bjorndunkerbeckDunkerbeck Speed Challenge - https://www.GPS-SpeedSurfing.comWaterSpeed App - Free downloadLüderitz Speed Channel live updates all November!

Born in Seattle, Washington, in 1949, Randy Rarick moved with his family to Hawaii when he was five. He started surfing at age 10, under the tutelage of the Waikiki Beach Boys. He was a Hawaiian state junior champ, and made the semifinals of the 1970 World Championships in Australia.  In 1976, at age 26, Randy and 1968 world champion Fred Hemmings founded International Professional Surfing, aka the IPS, which linked together what at the time were fragmented pro events around the world. They established a ratings system and a world tour, which ended with the crowning of a world champion. In 1983, Randy spearheaded the Triple Crown of Surfing, which linked together the three North Shore events, and also crowned a champion. Randy would helm the Triple Crown for the next 30 years. Randy is also a surfboard shaper. He was taught how to shape by Dick Brewer and George Downing, and went on to make boards for Surf Line Hawaii, Dewey Weber, and Lightning Bolt. While Randy might be one of the most widely traveled surfers of all time, having ridden waves in over 70 countries, he's called the North Shore home since 1969, and has lived in the same house at Sunset Beach for more than 50 years. He surfs out front, i.e., his backyard, regularly. In this episode of Soundings, Rarick sits down with Jamie Brisick to talk about about the birth of the IPS and the Triple Crown, learning to shape from the masters, rating systems and standardization, surf purism, the importance of Hawaii, and spending a year traveling up the west coast of Africa.  Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).

Nothing ever goes wrong when redshirts are in a Jefferies Tube. Troi's main contribution to the movie is getting white-girl wasted. Data gets an introduction to HR Giger.

Joe Sudbay guest hosts again. He runs down the election tallies as the results come rolling in. Democrats scored victories in the four major races of the night: the New York City mayoral race, the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia, and Prop 50, California's redistricting ballot measure. Exit polling showed voters went to the polls with worries about the economy on their minds, coupled with broader discontent with the state of the country right now.
