Or… the Kel and Will show. I’m so stoked to have had these two in the studio together. Lifelong friends. Big figures in the outrigger paddling community. Hammer paddlers. A race director. A boat builder. And hosts of one of my favorite podcasts - “Cocktails and Canoes” which has just released their 100th episode. Listen to the backstory, the family histories, and what keeps them passionate and deeply embedded in the outrigger paddling community. So good!
