MacRae Wylde joins me from Hood River, Oregon to chat about paddling, foiling, teaching his daughter Fiona how to windsurf, the legacy of the late/great Steve Gates, and the epic playground that is the Columbia River Gorge. MacRae isn't just a good paddler, he's a great sculptor -- check out his latest work on insta @macraewylde

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).

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...
