Paddlecast

Welcome back to Paddlecast! 

My guest today is one of the most experienced (and opinionated) paddlers on the planet. Over the past 15 years, Paul "Jacko" Jackson been a pro kiter, paddler, foiler, team manager, retail store owner and now co-founder of a board brand: ONE Ocean Sports, which is producing some of the most innovative race boards in the world.

In this episode, we had a good chat about building a board brand, the endless saga of Olympic paddletics and how to make racing more interesting and exciting. 

The "big new idea" we chat about is @ the 28/29 minute mark. Very excited to try this new format next year...

On a side note: This is the very first episode recorded in the new 'SUP Racer x ONE' podcast studio! We're currently building this into a (semi) professional recording space that'll become the new home of SUP Racer and Paddlecast. Very excited, and very grateful to ONE for hosting me.

I sat down with veteran athlete and co-founder of the 'ONE' brand, Angie Jackson, to chat about her recovery from injury, her crazy first race, the special collaboration between SUP Racer and ONE ...and what really gets said on the water ;-)

I’m very excited to share the second episode of Paddlecast with you because it features my new favourite race – The Yukon River Quest – as well as a guy I’ve got the world of respect for, Bart de Zwart.

I sat down with the four-time Yukon champion and king of endurance paddling in Canada six weeks ago to record this conversation. We went into great detail (sometimes too much detail) to describe the physical highs and mental lows of this insane, 715km race.

We actually did this podcast just 48 hours after the race finished — we were both still utterly exhausted (as you can hear in our voices) but also still buzzing from what is one of the most incredible paddling adventures imaginable.

Thanks, Bart, for taking the time to chat with us about this fascinating event.

 The very first episode of Paddlecast! Thanks to Casper Steinfath for having a chat with us (twice) in Denmark. We talked about his new film "Skagerrak" plus our thoughts on the future of the sport and his love/hate affair with racing.
