Questions You Never Thought to Ask. Interviews with Whitewater Kayakers – Details, episodes & analysis

I AM SORRY I HAVE BEEN AWAY. Building a house has been more time consuming than I expected but I got this one done and hopefully there is more in the pipeline here. Enjoy this quick chat with Alec Voorhees about the upcoming North Fork Championship extreme race and let me know who you think I should get on a call next!

This week I chat with young upstart Kaelin Friedenson (@kaelinkayak ) about how paddling journey so far. You no doubt have seen his back freewheel of Tomata 1 (60ft), back freewheel twisted pleasure (60ft), Cobra Flip Side chick, (40ft) but what you may not have seen is his slalom career, extreme slalom world championship win, and what he hopes to do in the future. We also talk about the process of getting better at downriver freestyle and kayaking in general as well as how not to be scared. A solid episode I know you will enjoy.

Red Bull Pro Kayaker Adrian Mattern, originally from Germany is currently based in Innsbruck, Austria. Along with Bren Orton he runs the SENDERS YouTube Channel and is a part of the SEND conglomerate with Bren, Dane Jackson and Kalob Grady. Adrian and I chat for the second time about lessons learned from suffering, scouting from instagram, biking and kayaking around Austria and the lessons learned from that trip. And finally I asked him questions submitted by Patreon Backers.

Possibly the luckiest unlucky person I have ever spoken to, or at least that is how it seems at first. California pro Kayaker Johnny Chase runs us through some of his best mis-adventures and what the take aways are.

I chat with Man, myth Legend Ben Marr on his recent 30 hr/almost 500km solo paddle in BC earlier this season. We talk route, nutrition, poop, preparation and more.

This Podcast had a rough start after I forgot to press record initially but thankfully Pringle was gracious enough to re-hash alot of our original conversation, regarding his starting in paddling, his journey to become 2011 Freestyle Kayak World Champion and how that journey was aided by his transition to eating a raw vegan diet.  We then went on to talk about his more recent endeavours and journey within the plant based eating world and his new book "Juicing for Health and Performance" LINK BELOW

My quest to save Whitewater Kayaking meanders into the world of Slalom Kayaking this week and I chat with Canadian Olympic hopeful Lois Betteridge about what we can do for slalom and what it can do for us. And also how the current pandemic situation has affected pre-Olympic training plan, the opportunity that has created for more training and more.
