The start line is in sight and we’re kicking off our final Kathmandu Podcast before race day with a two part series. This episode we catch up with :

Toby Brookes

Last year’s fastest paddler on the Waimak and the anchor of Richard & Angus’ Coast to Coast team.
We chat:

• What does the new boat look like?

• How’s he shaping up heading into the big day?

• What it really takes to be fastest when it counts

Megan Welch – CEO, Kathmandu
A passionate leader who truly walks (and runs) the talk. Megan shares:

• How Kathmandu has helped shape the feel and future of Kathmandu Coast to Coast

• 10 years of partnership — and what’s next
