1:51:19

We very briefly met Simeon in Hood River, but as he was just finishing up his Voyager Clinic with paying clients we didn't all have the time to sit down together over a Modelo.

85 - Johnny Heineken & Kenny Lad 42:58

12M ago42:58

42:58

Johnny might not need any introduction to anyone that has been interested in windsports for a while, but they might need a hand picking him out of a crowd as he masks himself and lurks in the shadows. Ken Adgate introduced us to this hooded fella, hood elastic synched tight to cover as much of his face as possible, and also wearing a baseball cap a…

84 - Fred Hope and Slingshot 57:39

12M ago57:39

57:39

A chap we'd been hoping to pin down for a while - we were lucky enough to do so in Slingshot's offices in Hood River. We escaped the heat of the day mooching round an air cooled office to end up sitting on a balcony in the shade, overlooking the entire event going on below us.

1y ago1:14:24

1:14:24

One of the cool things about this trip we're finding is being able to stick microphones in interesting peoples faces anytime we're all sat around hanging out, and (hopefully) it not being weird. Big Aussie Luke has been hanging out for us since the AWSI event finished, and we've had a couple mornings sat around in Kenny's garage shooting the shit. …
