This week’s guest is Craig “Bud” Branch. Bud, (a nickname he acquired as a child and best known by) is a three-time winter Olympic Alpine ski racer, specialising in the Downhill and Super-G (Super Giant Slalom) events. Craig represented Australia at the Salt Lake City (USA), Torino (Italy) and Vancouver (Canada) winter Olympic Games, he spent 10 years on the World Cup tour and qualified for six world championship events. Bud is also a passionate surfer, husband and new father to his son Ziggy. I also consider him to be one of my best friends. Since retiring in 2010 after the Vancouver Olympic games, Bud has maintained an international career as a ski racing coach and now Director of Alpine Sports and Head Coach at Thredbo Resort in NSW Australia. Despite his desire to go fast on a set of skis, Bud is relaxed, calm and patient by nature. He is deeply connected to surfing and the Ocean. This week’s episode is recorded at Padang Padang, Uluwatu Bali, and Bud shares his journey, experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.
