Podcasts about surfski

Ocean Sports:In Los Angeles 2028 wird es bei Olympia neue Disziplinen geben. Unter "Ocean Sports" werden Paddelsportarten verstanden, die überwiegend auf dem Meer praktiziert werden oder dort ihren Ursprung haben. So zählen hierzu insbesondere das Auslegerkanu, der Surfski und auch das Stand-Up Paddle Board. In all diesen, in Europa zwar noch relativ jungen, aber stark aufstrebenden Paddelsportarten, werden sowohl nationale als auch internationale Wettkämpfe ausgetragen. Aber die "Sportstunde" muss da natürlich mal in die Tiefe gehen. Guido Wrede ist beim Deutschen Kanu-Verband für Ocean Sports verantwortlich und dementsprechend natürlich der optimale Interviewgast für die „Sportstunde“! Fechten: Und nun zum Fechten…oder irgendwie doch nicht…nachdem es eine ganz tolle Spezialfolge der „Sportstunde“ zum Thema „Mentale Gesundheit“ mit Hockeyspielerin Nike Rühr und Säbelfechterin Léa Krüger gab, haben wir uns mit Léa verabredet, um mit ihr über ihre sportliche Vita zu sprechen. Aber es kam anders…Natürlich war ihre Karriere auch Thema, aber da sie auch sportpolitisch in Deutschland unterwegs ist, sie ist unter anderem im Präsidium des Vereins Athleten Deutschlands, kamen wir auf den neuen Koalitionsvertrag zu sprechen, in dem ja auch einige Veränderungen im deutschen Sport festgelegt wurden. Das musste im Interview mit Léa Krüger natürlich besprochen werden.

In this podcast I sit down with Matt Drayer who is part of a small team including Greg Barton, Jesse Lishchuk, and Geoff Pearson who are dedicated to promoting surfski development in the US via the Ocean Racing Committee (ORC) which is part of the competition arm of the American Canoe Association (ACA). Matt and the team have been hard at work over the past year building out a National points based ranking system that allows competitors around the country to submit race results from any surfski race and earn points. They are also launching a pilot program to establish an athlete classification system, that will allow paddlers to progress along a continuum based on race performance over the long term. Last, but not least, the ORC is very much involved working with the International Canoe Federation (ICF) on the Surfski World Championships that are now held annually. This year they will be in Madeira Portugal. In this podcast we cover Matt's background, as well as go into detail on all of the above and what has inspired Matt and the team to take on this intitiatve. If you aren't yet a member, we encourage you to check out the ACA website and offerings. The organization has been around since 1880 representing a broad spectrum of paddle sports. In the last few years they have made a concerted effort to recognize and embrace surfski paddling, and they can bring a lot to the table to help us all promote this sport that we love so much! If you have any questions or suggestions for Matt, he can be reached at : orc@americancanoe.net

Quel type d'entrainement faut-il faire ? Quelles data faut-il suivre ?L'épisode est un peu technique comme c'est ma "discipline" du moment mais j'espère tout de même que cela vous apportera des pistes de réflexions.Bonne écoute.

We're back with our most frequent and popular podcast guest, the infamous Oscar Chalupsky. It's always informative and exciting to catch up with Oscar and this podcast is not exception. If you haven't read Oscar's book, order it now, it is an absolute must read. If you're like me, you won't put it down until it is finished. I've known Oscar for 10 years, but reading this book, I realized there is still a lot I don't know. Oscar has led an action packed life and this book is his best attempt to tell it all. In addition to discussing his book, we cover much more including: Paddling out through surf breaks - something many paddlers in the US don't get a chance to practice enough Incredible paddling conditions in Brazil The Nelo Paddle race in Malaysia Winning Molokai at 50 The Shaw and Partners Investment in Surfski in general and specifically the Western Australia Race Week The title of this podcast says it all about Oscar. They Said.... You can't paddle with low elbows You can't go fast in a stable boat You can't paddle with zero feather You can't race on no carbs You can't race with no liquids You can't win a world championship race at 50 Over and over again, Oscar has challenged the conventional wisdom and proven it wrong. Here's to hoping he doesn't stop! No Retreat, No Surrender

Elegant über den See gleiten in einem schlanken, eleganten Einsitzer und dazu mit den Füssen, statt mit dem Paddel, steuern – das ist Surfski. Ski, weil das Kajak wie ein Ski über das Wasser gleitet und das Surfen leitet sich von den australischen Surfern ab, die damit Surfer in Not retteten. «Beim Surfski wird – neben den Armen – vor allem der Rumpf trainiert», sagt Tom Beck. Er ist Surfskiinstruktor am Thunersee. Sportlich muss man für den Surfski nicht sein. Ein weiterer Vorteil: Der Surfski ist ein «sit on top Kajak». Man sitzt nicht eingeengt im Boot, sondern in einer Sitzschale und kann bequem die Beine rechts und links raushängen lassen. Wenn man kentert, ist man also nicht im Boot gefangen. Ein Surfski misst zwischen 4.30 und 6.40 Metern und wiegt in der leichtesten Version gerade mal gut 8 Kilo. Ein eigenes Boot wird nicht benötigt, man kann gutes Material mieten. Bei einem Schnupperkurs, bei welchem man mit dem Surfski vertraut gemacht wird, geht es auch schon mit Schwimmweste aufs Wasser. Gesteuert wird mit den Füssen, gepaddelt mit einem Löffelpaddel. Und dann ist da nur noch Genuss. Für Sportliche und Unsportliche. In Einklang mit Natur und See. Sonnenhut und Sonnenschutz nicht vergessen.

This was an awesome chat with Bonnie as she travels around Australia on her Surfski. She is currently trying to break the World Record for circumnavigating the country. I was fortunate to catch up with her after she arrived in Perth and crossed over the 5000km mark. We got to chat about the trials and tribulations of her journey so far and also about her success as an iron woman, following her passions and all her learnings along the way!

My guest on the podcast today is long time friend and paddler Rob Hartman. Rob is a husband and father of three girls. He works full time as a software developer, plays the Upright Bass as an accomplished jazz musician, and has long been one of the top masters paddlers in the US. In recent years Rob has competed primarily East of the Mississippi, where he is a top contender in any race he enters. His most recent racing efforts were focused on the Chattajack where he narrowly missed the overall Surfski win when Carter Johnson came off his draft to outsprint him at the finish. In our discussion we talk about Rob's first exposure to kayaking in an old school fiberglass surf kayak. Rob talks about his early days as a teenager fearlessly playing in the cold and crazy surf on Lake Michigan. This ultimately led to a couple of Sea Kayak races, which led to Rob joining the US Canoe and Kayak Team and training and racing with them for a couple of seasons. One of the things that has amazed me the most about Rob is his ability to consistently paddle at a very high level despite the demands of family and career, and of course aging. At 52 Rob is as fit as ever. What became a key theme in this podcast, as evidenced by the title, is that there is no shortcut. You've got to show up and consistently do the work if you want the type of results Rob has been able to achieve. I always enjoy spending time with Rob, and this podcast was no exception. It went a little longer than most, but we had a lot to catch up on. I hope enjoy the discussion as much as I did. P.S Below is a little bonus if you want to see Rob in action on the Bass. He doesn't know I've linked this, and would probably be embarrassed by it, but it is a great demonstration of his humble talent! https://vimeo.com/488791879

My guest on this podcast is Matt Murphy. Matt is a Naval Architect and Ocean Engineer by trade, who grew up in and on the waters of Northeastern Canada. After school, Matt made his way to Houston, Texas where he currently lives with his wife and four kids. Matt has a very diverse paddling background spanning both racing and multi-week adventures. In this podcast we cover much of Matt's paddling background and the paddling scene in Houston and across Texas, but most importantly we talk about the work Matt has done helping to build the American Canoe Association (ACA) surfski education curriculum. The ACA serves as the National Governing Body for paddlesports (Sprint, Slalom, Paracanoe) for the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee and as the U.S National Federation to the International Canoe Federation. They have recognized Surfski as a unique discipline and are excited to support it's growth both through competition and education. Matt has worked extensively over the past four years along with Ben Lawry to develop a four stage curriculum of education including the following: Level 2: Essentials of SurfskiLevel 3: Fundamentals of Open Water SurfskiLevel 4: Downwind SurfskiLevel 5: Advanced Open Water and Downwind Surfski (Under Development) The ACA is hopeful to start certifying surfski instructors across all major regions of the US.

“I do get overboard at everything I do. I do everything flat out, or don't do it“ – “You've got it, it's up to you, to actually realize, that you can make yourself whatever you want to be” -  “You can't let the pain overtake the brain. The brain's got to be in charge” - “I love to teach! I'll teach you, even if you don't want to. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to getting the technic right, and doing everything right, and I hate seeing people doing it wrong” – “I always say when I'm teaching: Don't believe me, work it out for yourself, and believe in me, once you work it out for yourself then you'll know that I'm right” – “If I got to do something, I do it now” – “I'm going to train, I said I was going to train, I'm going. I don't care about the weather or things like that” – “If you have a plan and you write it down, 80% of your goal is achieved. That is the think at the start: you've got to write everything down” -  “if you go off the rails, you must be able to come back on” – “I wasn't born a Surfski paddler, I wasn't born a keto expert, I wasn't born a swimmer… I made myself” – “Extra talent means nothing until you use it. And the only way to use is is work, and determination, and discipline to do it” – “I'm the person who's always trying to shortcut everything, trying to make everything a little bit easier. No matter what I do” – “Just make sure, whatever you're doing, that is helping you to forward yourself in life”

In this podcast episode I had a chance to connect with Rod and Barry of ThePaddleChannel. Rod and Barry have progressed from SUP to OC to SURFSKI and their YouTube channel documents, in full transparency, the trials and tribulations of their journey along the way. They are both super passionate about paddling and more so about downwind. Their videos bring a great perspective that should resonate with both new paddlers and those transitioning across paddling disciplines. Many of you may have heard of the Carolina Cup, which is one of the biggest paddle events in the US (possibly just behind the Gorge and Chattajack). This race is put on by the Wrightsville Paddle Club which is about a 45 minute drive North of where Rod and Barry paddle at Carolina Beach. Rod and Barry have an 8 mile downwind that they typically run starting at Fort Fisher and finishing at Carolina Beach or in the Carolina Beach Inlet. This run takes advantage of the the prevailing south/southwest winds that run throughout the summer. There aren't any points, bays, shoals, or other factors to greatly influence the wave conditions along the route, so conditions remain pretty consistent. The biggest challenges are in launching and landing. The launch is directly off the beach, so there is often a surf break to navigate. They have the option of either finishing on the beach or in the inlet, both have their pros and cons which we discuss in detail during the podcast. Carolina Beach is a busy beach town in the summer, but in the spring and fall things quiet down, but the water is still warm and the wind still blows, making this an excellent time to take a paddling vacation. There aren't many other paddlers or paddle businesses in the area, so your best bet is to take your boat, but you can always get in touch with Barry or Rod and they will be more than happy to help you with finding a boat if possible. The detailed Google Maps discussion starts at around minute 24:00 on the video and in the podcast. I hope you enjoy this podcast as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Carolina Beach is now on my short list of downwind destinations. I really like the idea of an April or May trip when Lake Michigan is struggling to get above 40 degrees :-) https://youtu.be/PLTKGs7Y7Es

Oscar Chalupsky has one heck of a story and it was a thrill to chat with him on the Road to Tokyo. We spoke about the inner sanctum of the Olympic Village, including meeting his idols and water bomb fights as well as Oscar's amazing achievement of winning his 12th world Surfski title at the ripe age of 49, twenty years after winning his first. Oscar also discussed the toll on your body that comes with qualifying for the Olympics, the thrill of competing for his country and the challenges that came with it. Thanks so much to Oscar for his time and to Rory Noke from Podbooth for putting this great video together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

4 Surfski paddlers take on an epic voyage, paddling 500 km along the extremely wild and remote skeleton coast of Namibia. Des and Ciske Howard share their story of this amazing adventure. The paddling was extreme, perhaps only matched by the extreme 4x4 dune driving of the support crew. Des Howard, Ian Daniels, Jason Goedhals and Fanta Gous paddled 4 modified racing surfski's 500 km from Luderitz to Swakopmund. They endured screaming gales, punishing headwinds, icy fog and tricky landings. Definitely check out https://www.skeletoncrew.com.na/.

4 Surfski paddlers take on an epic voyage, paddling 500 km along the extremely wild and remote skeleton coast of Namibia. Des and Ciske Howard share their story of this amazing adventure. The paddling was extreme, perhaps only matched by the extreme 4x4 dune driving of the support crew. Des Howard, Ian Daniels, Jason Goedhals and Fanta Gous paddled 4 modified racing surfski's 500 km from Luderitz to Swakopmund. They endured screaming gales, punishing headwinds, icy fog and tricky landings. Definitely check out https://www.skeletoncrew.com.na/. Pictures and videos that give some insight into the enormity of this mission

Confira a entrevista com o Campeão Brasileiro de Surfski e Presidente da Associação Baiana de Surfski (Abaski), Bruno Machado.

In this podcast I sit down with one of the many dear friends I've met through Surfski Paddling. Greg Greene and I first crossed paths when we battled it out in my first surski race ever in Duluth, Minnesota. Although 20 years my senior Greg managed to take me at the line and despite that first encounter we've been great friends ever since. I wanted to bring Greg onto the podcast because he exemplifies what the surfski journey is all about. Starting the sport in his late 40s and in a town without a surfski community, he also represents a large portion of surfski paddlers in the US. While I want to say that Greg's story is that of the "average paddler" as you'll find out, he has had some incredible experiences that make him both the envy and an inspiration for us all. In this podcast we cover the following and much more: Attempting to paddle his first surfski, the SpeedsterMoving into a Huki and really taking off in the sportDoing the big races in the US including US Surfski Champs, The Gorge Downwind, and ChattajackA trip to Tarifa to work with Boyan the Zen Master of SurfLearning what intense surfski paddling is all about at the Mocke Brother's Downwind Camp in CapetownBringing it all together with the 2019 Molokai World Championship (hint : it almost didn't happen)Getting diagnosed with A-fib after 30 years of high intensity training and racingViews on paddling as an aging athlete approaching 64 I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as I did!

In this podcast, the tables are turned and I'm in the hot seat as Buzz Burrell (a long time endurance sports athlete and entrepreneur and new surfski addict) interviews me. We cover a wide range of topics from paddling the Great Lakes through the winter months, to trying to make a surfski business viable in a small market with a short season. Some of the highlights of our conversation include: Paddling conditions on the Great LakesRisks with winter paddling and how I try to mitigate themWhat I've gained from paddling a V8 for 6 months of the yearChallenges of running a surfski businessWhat keeps me going In the end, it was actually quite fun for me to be on the other side of the mic. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as Buzz and I enjoyed the conversation

In today's podcast I managed to catch up with Olympic athlete, coach, and co-founder of Paddle California, Michele Eray. I somehow coerced her into sitting still just long enough to record a great podcast session. The title of this episode and Michele's personal mantra says it all, "You regret more in life the things that you didn't do than the things you did". Michele takes her mantra quite serious and I'm certain you'll agree after listening to our conversation. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, below are just a couple of the highlights: Michele's early days of paddling in her home town of Plettenberg Bay, SA (see the video below to get a sense of how beautiful it is)Getting started in surf lifesaving and high school racingGoing to University to study bio-kinetics (Athletic Training / Physical Therapy)Racing the Berg River MarathonMaking the decision to give up her bio-kinetics practice and become a full time paddlerSeizing the opportunity to race for SA in the 2008 Beijing OlympicsFive years of incredible support from the team at Nelo and racing all over the worldCoaching at the 2012 and 2016 OlympicsThe decision to open Paddle California and bring Olympic level coaching and Nelo surfskis to the West CoastThoughts on Surfski becoming an Olympic SportThoughts on paddling a K1 versus a surfskiThe importance of cadence training and the power of the Vaaka Cadence Sensor to guide training (For an in depth podcast from the co-founder of Vaaka check out this link and to purchase one from TC SURFSKI click here)Common beginner mistakes Thoughts on downwind paddlingFavorite downwind paddles If you want to connect with Michele for coaching or to purchase a Nelo, you can find her on the web at: Business website: http://www.paddlecal.com Business Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/paddlecal/ Personal Blog: http://micheray.com Personal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MicheleErayAthlete/ https://vimeo.com/86263568

In early December the guys @CarbonologySport shared some vintage footage of the 1983 Port Elizabeth to East London (PE2LE) 4 Day Stage Race. It generated a lot of intrigue on Facebook, and I thought it would be great to sit down with Oscar and have him walk us through what it was like to race surfskis on the open ocean almost 40 years ago. We spend a large portion of the discussion on the PE2LE. But in classic Oscar fashion we also cover a host of other entertaining and educational topics including but not limited to: Oscar's first couple of times racing the PE2EL as a teenagerSurfski designs and construction in the early 80sPaddle design, length, and feather in the early 80s Gauging effort before the days of GPS and HR MonitorsPaddling the open ocean with no leashes, PFDs, or sunscreenNutrition and hydration strategies before the days of gu, energy bars, and hydration bladdersWhat has evolved for the better and what has proven the test of time Here is a link to the book Waterlogged by Tim Noakes which Oscar references and in which he was one of the first athletes tested that led to Noakes ground breaking and controversial discovery that the conventional wisdom on hydration during sport was wrong.

In this podcast episode we chat all things safety in extreme conditions with Rob Mousley.   Rob founded surfski.info based out of Cape Town SA, which is well known as  the de-facto global website for surfski information.   It is probably best known for the forums which provide an excellent global dialogue on all things surfski related.   In addition to the forums there are boat reviews, race reports, and most relevant to our discussion today,  many excellent articles on safety. For the last decade, Rob has been very involved in the pursuit of safety in extreme conditions.   He has worked extensively with Cape Town's water rescue services known as the NSRI, covered several surfski rescues, and has studied and tested in real world conditions  a vast majority of the safety equipment on the market. In this discussion we discuss in depth the wealth of knowledge Rob has accumulated over the years.   I'm really excited to be able to offer this podcast not just beginners, but also to the experienced paddlers who I'm certain will benefit.    As the sport continues to grow around the world and in more extreme climates, we all need to continue this dialogue with our paddling mates and hold each other accountable for being smart and realistic about our safety on the water. Below are some links to articles and resources that we reference in the Podcast: Article summarizing the findings of Rob's rescue exercises with the NSRIArticle recapping a Miller's Run incident that thankfully turned out okay, but could have been much worseHere is a link to the entire safety section on Surfski.info with articles an various incidents and gear reports including Personal Locator Beacons which Rob spoke about on the podcast.  Here is a specific link on an incident with a leg leash failure and a PLB failureAnd a detailed piece on the limitations and how to use PLBsWe didn't cover Shark Attacks on the Podcast, but here are a couple great articles and second articleLink to a Cold Water Safety blog on the TC SURFSKI websiteBelow are clips  of Oscar Chalupsky demonstrating the remount in rough conditions and the brace stroke https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozp6vuZEI5w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3HidTihOSw

In today's podcast we connect with Jen Lee to hear the story of how she crossed the Molokai Channel in a SUP, OC1, and Surfski all in one season.   If that isn't impressive enough, she only started surfski paddling two years prior and conquered the channel on a properly big day. Jen is an accomplished water woman, but the message she's passionate about  delivering is that anyone can achieve this with the right attitude, dedication to training, and the right boat (hint - Jen did the Molokai in a V8).  We cover a lot of ground in this podcast including the following: Jen's background in athletics, starting as a downhill ski racer in Lake TahoeMoving to Hawaii to become a surf instructorThe cross over from downhill ski racing to SUP paddlingCompeting at an elite level in SUP racingJen's first introduction to surfski paddlingHow it feels to cross the channel in a SUP versus an OC1 versus a surfskiHow the different craft handle different conditionsWhat is common and what is different in paddling SUP, OC1, and Surfski downwind If you want to follow Jen and her exploits or want to reach out to her with any questions, she will be more than happy to help you out.   Below is where you can reach and follow her: Website:  http://www.jenjlee.com/ eMail: mailto:jenjlee@me.com Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/jenn.j.lee1 Instagram:  jennjlee During the podcast I make reference to a great video produced by former podcast guest, World Class Athlete, and Mobility and Movement Guru Dr Kelly Starrett.  Below is that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUeIuA6aeUA

In this podcast episode I catch up with Carter Johnson, Race Director for the Gorge Downwind Festival.   In just four years this race has become the single biggest downwind event in the world.   With 750 participants, featuring equal numbers of Outrigger Canoe and Surfski paddlers, plus a good contingent of Stand Up Paddle Boarders.   But more than just a race, this has become a week long festival celebrating paddling, downwind, beer, Rivers for Change, and loads of camaraderie. In this episode Carter provides some interesting insights into how the race has evolved and what to expect for 2018.   We touch on the following key areas and much more: Beyond race week, growth in the downwind paddle scene throughout the summer and Carter's downwind retreat compoundA breakdown of the number of racers signed up this year across the different paddle disciplines as well as where they are coming from geographicallyHow the Gorge Downwind Festival may ultimately bring surfski paddling the recognition it deserves in the USChanges for 2018 including: Later beer tent hoursA completely stocked beer truck with 26 beers on tapChanges to signal the surfski startSafety precautionsRace navigation strategies and how minute changes of the wind direction will change the course I hope you enjoy the podcast and more importantly I hope to see you out there in a couple of weeks!

In this podcast we catch up with Oscar to get a front row view of the racing at the ICF World Surfski Championships in Hong Kong (check out the link for great live footage)  and the infamous Doctor downwind race in Perth, Australia. This is a relatively short podcast at just over 30 minutes,  but as usual, it is always very informative to catch up with Oscar and get his perspective on the racing and the conditions.  Beyond just the race discussion, I jumped at the opportunity to pick his brain for some tips and tricks to successfully paddling a tandem downwind, which is something that can be very humbling and challenges many of us.  We also chat briefly about plans for the 2018 TC SURFSKI Immersion.  Below is a short recap of key topics: The week leading up to the ICF World Surfski Championships, a key item of note is the number of countries represented,  I believe roughly 27, which speaks to the global growth of the sportRace conditions through the course and Oscar's strategy to optimizeA detailed description of the huge conditions at the Doctor and how Oscar's race unfoldedKey elements to focus on when paddling a tandem downwindA brief discussion on plans for the 2018 TC SURFSKI Immersion Note: Don't fast forward too quickly through the beginning of this podcast, I throw in a quick holiday promotional offer that all Podcast listeners can take advantage of now through Dec 25th  Enjoy!!

In this podcast I get a chance to chat for the first time with the great American surfski champion Austin Kieffer. In just 5 short years, Austin has gone from paddling a surfski for the first time, to battling it out for podium finishes with the greatest paddlers in the world. He is now a force to be reckoned with and a podium contender in any of the biggest surfski races in the world. In this podcast we cover the story of how the last five years unfolded.  Austin is both candid and eloquent in describing the journey. I am certain that you will absolutely love this podcast as much as I enjoyed recording it. Austin’s story is both fascinating and inspirational.  He has a knack for articulating of the art of downwind paddling and the science of training (stolen from his website tagline).   In roughly an hour we cover the following key elements in Austin's journey: First introduction to the world of white water kayaking at age 11What whitewater training entails at the Olympic Development levelWhat transfers from Slalom to Surfski and what is totally differentGetting into a surfski for the first time in 2011 and a top 20 finish at the US Champs just 3 weeks laterMaking a final bid for a spot on the US Olympic Whitewater TeamPouring himself into surfski in San Diego after collegeThe pivotal moment in learning downwind and key thoughts on what it takesTraining with the big boys in CapetownBecoming the top US finisher at the US Surfski Champs in 2014Getting humbled in the Canadian Surfski Champs in 2014Finding the resolve to come back and take another shot at becoming a world class podium contender on the World Series of Surfski RacingDetails on the training regime to make it happenWhat's next and where to find Austin

In today's podcast we catch up with Boyan Zlatarev of the Tarifa, Spain Surfski Center.   Boyan recently executed a spoof on Social Media known as the Surfski 600 Project.   The goal was to get the attention of the paddling community and ultimately drive a mindset shift into how we view the capabilities of boats that have traditionally been labeled as  "beginner" craft. While the feedback and support was overwhelmingly positive, there were some who were not thrilled with the spoof. In this podcast we go deep to understand what was behind the inspiration and motivation for Boyan to do this. "Stability before Ability" is a term first coined by Oscar Chalupsky and while many of us have been preaching it solidly for a few years now,  Boyan felt there was still more that could be done.   In addition to the stability discussion, comes the discussion around recognizing that surfski paddling is not all about racing and statistics, and we should all do more to attract and welcome those who simply want to be on the water for the pure enjoyment of it all. This is a relatively short discussion, but as always, Boyan is both entertaining and though provoking.  He is constantly studying people, markets, other sports, and industries to glean examples and concepts that can be applied to drive further growth of surfski.    I think you'll really enjoy this discussion

Today’s podcast guest is the always affable, ever insightful, and fun loving Carter Johnson. Carter is now best known as the founder and organizer of the Gorge Downwind Paddle Festival in Hood River, OR. After just two year this festival has established itself as the biggest SUP, Outrigger, and SURFSKI event in the US and is drawing a significant international crowd. 2017 is already 2/3 sold out and may well be completely sold out before the end of the year. A little less known is the fact that Carter holds two Guinness world records for distance paddled in 24 hours on an inland water and distance paddled in 24 hours on flowing water, and at one point he even held the record in every major  long distance race in the US.   Not too shabby for a self described "technique hack" In this podcast we have a lot of fun as we cover: Carter’s early days growing up in Indiana as a wiry kid and how he landed in gymnasticsCompeting, traveling the country, and most importantly partying on the Purdue gymnastics circuitCarter’s move to the Bay Area during the dot com boomRoad biking the Tour de France course and finishing and with the Switzerland Ironman (as the only clown in a old school surf wetsuit)Buying his first kayak and taking it with him in his Geo Metro with ripped out seats and a built in bed, with a 20 foot kayak and a bike up the Cassiar highway to AlaskaWhen Carter first discovering that kayaking could actually be a high performance sportGetting out with John Dixon, Kenny Howell, and crewHooked on the adventure of surf ski paddling and draw to the sport that inspired the interest in distance racesDeciding to go for a distance world recordConnected with a local eco-quest legend in the Bay Area and gotRacing the Yukon Quest with his girlfriend and the smell of ammonia as you begin to digest your body for fuel60 hours on the water with a few breaksHow quickly the memory of pain goes awayTraining article written by CarterSetting the 24 hour distance recordWhy you need to be good enough, but not quite good enough to set distance recordsSpending time in the back of a tandem with Robin Graham and learning to truly paddle downwind and Carter’s articulation of thinking you are a downwind paddler and actually becoming a true downwind paddlerPaddling a surfski in 15 foot waves with a canoe paddle and passing people on the downwindCarter’s thought on training and the law of diminishing returns - how to be just good enough but have the most funCarter’s first introduction to the Gorge in 2007Why the Gorge works so well for downwind (hint - very easy to catch the runs, even easier to shuttle back for the next run).  Check out a couple of these videos where Carter shows us how it is done, and my favoritePaddling the Gorge and feeling like a Downwind NinjaCarter’s ranking system for the Gorge downwind conditions and the frequency of eachWhy paddling the Stern Wheeler could be the highlight of your eventAmazing plans for The Gorge 2.0 in 2017What it means for the Gorge to now be a World Surfski Title RaceThe reality to training - the exponential effort to make incremental gainesDon’t be delusional get to 80% at 5 hour per week and have a ton of fun

In today’s episode I sit down with the ever humble, focused, and driven Greg Barton, founder of Epic Kayaks (originally Epic Paddles)  and the most decorated US paddler in history.   Greg won Bronze in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics then  broke a 52 year drought for the US when he won back to back gold medals in the 1000 meter K1 and 1000 meter K2 disciplines in the 88 Seoul Olympics.   Never one to rest on his laurels, Greg came back 4 years later and took another Bronze in Barcelona at his final olympics in 1992   I’ve had the fortune of spending time with Greg on multiple occassions and even paddling in a tandem surf ski with him, but never knew all the details of his early beginning and his path to being the fastest paddler in the world.   It is quite an amazing story of focus, dedication, persistence, and humility.   Greg and I cover extensive ground in this 1 hour 40 minute discussion including, but certainly not limited to, the following: How a kid growing up on a pig farm in southern Michigan got introduced to paddlingGreg’s very first trophyThe pivotal moment when Greg was just 12 years old and decided Olympic hardware was his missionHis first paddling coachTraining during his years studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of MichiganGreg’s first, second, and third Olympics including winning back to back gold medals in 1988 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p60-Vo_bocsBuilding his first paddles in the family barnRecovering from chronic fatigue in the early 80sWorking 30 hours a week plus training before the 1988 Olympics and The power of distraction to recover from trainingUsing his own custom built paddles in the OlympicsThe beginning of the wing paddle and Greg’s first experiences with itThe practical need that led to the inspiration for a 2 piece paddleGreg’s thoughts on feathering of the paddle and his own progressionThe very first boat built by Epic  (hint: it wasn’t a surf ski)Greg’s approach to building boats from the very beginning and the  Youtube video comparison of Epic Sea Kayak versus traditional kayakGreg’s thoughts on the future of surf ski designThe secret to how Greg developed such explosive power in the boatGreg’s thoughts on training in a K1 versus a Surfski
