We recorded this podcast in Oscar's home in Porto Portugal on the last night of a three day visit. In this podcast I ask Oscar to coach me through the training necessary to perform my best racing at the Gorge Downwind Champs. We cover the following:

• A couple of minor technique tips that I need to make
• MAF Training method / concepts
• Drills for building downwind explosiveness
• Key downwind paddling skills that will be required at the Gorge
• Oscar's outlook for Molokai 2017
• A little off topic, but I mention a podcast I recently heard with Mark Allen one of the most successful triathletes of all time who also used the MAF training
• What the pros do that most of us are not aware of
• A few paddlers who have gotten very good in the sport despite growing up in the hot beds
