  • Love it! Good stuff!

    I love these podcasts, as Chris delves into the psyche of different athletes involved in paddle sports.

    In particular I enjoy the stories of past events or any side stories and background information on how Supracer started, developed and evolved over the years - would love to see more of this!

    Great job!
