I want to empower athletes to chase excellence with a respect for history and safety, to share the joy of paddling across generations, and to grow a global network where knowledge is freely exchanged and champions are built through mentorship and disciplined training.
#92 - Mick DiBetta. A lifetime of Lifesaving, Prone Paddling & Coaching at the highest levels
Q: How did Molokai shape your approach to coaching and competing over the years?
Molokai taught me that consistency, pacing, and relentless preparation matter more than explosive pace alone.

#91 - Dave Boehne aka “The Brown Blurr” + Infinity Surf
Q: How did Infinity Surf grow from a family shop into a two-division brand, and how do you balance surf and stand-up paddling while staying true to the core identity?
He explains keeping authenticity as the guiding principle, maintaining separate aesthetics for surf and stand-up while leveraging shared expertise, and emphasizing hands-on craftsmanship and local manufacturing with selective overseas production to sustain the brand's core ethos.
