  • The Tahoe Waterman Episode

    First off - NAC Va'a California Race #3 is on SATURDAY. 
    Second - we had the great opportunity to hang out and get to know Jay Wild on a totally new level. He's a professional athlete, professional businessman, and professional DAD! Learn more about the Lake Tahoe Waterman Lifestyle and what has been evolving from the Mecca of Flatwater Standup Paddling to a very competitive outrigger canoe paddling community. 

    If you've been dragging kelp thinking about coming to the Puakea Designs Wild Buffalo Relay in April - come out for the short course! Race and then stay for the Cocktails and Canoes Short Course afterparty on Saturday and play along with Buffalo Bingo!

  • The Storm Traveler Episode

    NAC Va'a California hit the jackpot with a storm intermission, allowing them to surf through their second race in Marina Del Rey this weekend! We're catching up with Angie Dolan, a  born and raised Hawaii paddler, to see if her toes had finally defrosted from last weekend's colder waters.

  • The Gang of Canadians Episode

    NAC Va'a California Race #1 was just finished and what a killer turnout! A whole gaggle of Canadians came down to put their V1 paddling to the test in SoCal and we get to hear from Tony Hodanic on how his race went! He fills us in on Judsons not-so-awesome start and his own photo finish. We also hear a little bit of his background in paddling and how we got started with his highschool Dragon Boat Team. We look forward to seeing this crew and more at the next V1 race!

  • The Chef Isaac Episode

    Chef Isaac Bancaco in THE HOUSE! This guest does it all. Paddler. Fisherman. Artist. Hustler. From reality TV shows to 5+ star restaurants all over the country - Isaac has cooked up a lot of success in the culinary industry, and just wait to hear what he wants to nail next! Don't stress - he also paddles, a downwind junkie if you will, and just got back from the highly coveted ADR race. Where Will ditched him in a restaurant. Rookie.

  • The Hawaiki Nui Race 2023 Episode

    Hawaiki Nui is Will's favorite topic. Ever. In the history of ever. Tupu King joins us on this episode to go into the day-by-day recap of the three-day Hawaiki Nui Race. Tupu raced with our brothers from Ka Lahui Kai, and once again, they had a solid performance down in Tahiti. 

    We extend our heartfelt condolences, love, and support to the family, friends, and community of Kevin Kouider. A true legend in the sport of outrigger canoe paddling, we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet him during his visits to California for Va'a California and Catalina, even if it was only a few times.
    Ride in Peace.

    We FINALLY got the man behind CALI PADDLER on the microphone! It was great to catch up with a longtime friend and learn more about his journey and how he ended up with Cali Paddler! Clarke Graves has done a lot for the paddling community, and we were stoked to chat with him!

  • The Catalina Crossing 2023 Episode

    The episode you've all been waiting for. Hopefully...There's a lot to unpack here. Another collaboration with the BROADCAST BRADDAHS! Just know that by the time you finish listening to this, Jane Crayton will already have completed a half marathon. 
    We dive into the Catalina Crossing, starting by picking one word we thought described our experiences. Listen. It tracks. 
    Five callers on the episode? That's a full house! It was quite a lively discussion. Every good podcast needs a little humor, even if it's at Judson's expense. We confront Miles on his poor paddling choices. Sometimes, we all make questionable decisions, right? Johnny dives into the technique of shell va'a with Will. We listened to Kala'i and Justin's bromance grow - it was like listening to a rom-com on air. And then we hang up on Kekoa because Kelly wants to go to sleep. 

    Like we said, a lot to unpack. Warning: Explicit Language.
