I caught up with my good friend Nicola “Nico” Masci from Italy to chat about living in isolation, craving the ocean and a renewed appreciation of paddling. We also reminisce about the rollercoaster of emotion that is the SUP11 City Tour — Nico joined me in Holland last year where we both tried out the new “rocket ship” race board from ONE.

Fernando Stalla is a master of the ocean who has competed at the highest level in SUP racing and surfing for years, and who is now enjoying his isolation days spearfishing and living the Tahitian life with his wife and daughter. It was great to catch up with an old friend and talk about travel, children and the desire to have more fun on the water // follow @fernandostalla for a glimpse of the island life 🏝️ 

Take a trip down memory lane to 2011 and hear the story of how/why SUP Racer began. Hope you enjoy this little throwback -- your regularly scheduled "Paddlecast" episodes will return tomorrow ;-) 

Vinnicius "Vinni" Martins joins us from Búzios to chat travel, Team Brazil and his lifelong love of the ocean (...and gardening). Vinni is one of the hardest-working and most-positive paddlers you'll ever meet. His energy is contagious. He's also a damn fine athlete, having won an ISA gold and Pan-Am silver medal in season 2019. Go follow Vinni on Instagram (@vinmartins) to keep up with his adventures...

Two of Europe's finest paddlers (and two of its finest people), Susak and Paolo, join us from their island isolation to chat racing vs relationships, running an ultra and looking forward to the day we can all meet up on the water again

I caught up with Daniel Hasulyo to chat about the allure of the 11 Cities, SUP11x, competing against his brother and being "stuck" in isolation paradise. Daniel and his brother Bruno are two of the finest athletes in paddling, and it's always a pleasure to hear their thoughts on the sport and life in general.

I was joined in the studio by local legend Bob Margetts, a paddling fanatic and all-round inspirational guy.  It was a pleasure to chat with Bob about how paddling has changed his life and share his enthusiasm for the ocean.

My guest today is a great paddler and an all-round great guy, and he's someone I have a great deal of respect for. Kenny Kaneko is Japan's long-time number one, but he's also a fantastic ambassador for paddling in general. We chatted about his love of Molokai, outrigger and his original plan to become a pro football player. Kenny also shared his thoughts on the power of paddling, the future of the sport and life as a family man in the quarantine era. Follow @kenny_kaneko on Instagram...

"King of the Ultras" Bart de Zwart joins us from Maui to preview tomorrow's Midnight Sun watch party and chat about the raw attraction of paddling the Yukon River.

We'll be live-streaming "Chased by the Midnight Sun" on the SUP Racer Facebook page and adding our comments/stories as we all watch it together (go to supracer.com for global start times or to watch the replay)
