Really wanted to see Kai finally win but Bernd sailed better. Great drone work.

Watched the final, amazing sailing and great video coverage, but appalling commentary from Kai. There appeared to be very few spectators for the final, probably emblematic of the popularity of the sport.

What a legend Kai Lenny is. This is gold Paul!

Totally!

Paul did you catch up with Jace Panebianco? I'm sure he is a true passionate and a good talker with plenty of interesting stories

I didn't have a chance to do a video with Jace... I've hardly stopped since arriving here. There are so many people you could make a video with. However, drum roll....I'm working on trying to get Robby Naish before I leave... any questions you can think of for the king?

Amazing work Paul, really enjoying the videos. Make sure you take some rest and get some time on the water too mate!

Question for Robby as he has been involved in all aspects of windsurfing with his business previously and as a passionate sailor:

Where do you see (fin) windsurfing heading, both as a sport and as an industry and if you could give a single piece of advice to windsurfers or brands, what would that be?

Robby seems pretty approachable, hope you can get a hold of him! Cheers, Peter

Oh, don't forget to bring a ladder if he takes you for a ride in one of his massive trucks

Cool thanks if it happens I'll try and ask the questions.

Dutchie - see if he'll tell you who the biggest DH was back in the day...who dogged him out the worst? :) He's a legend and doesn't need to hold back anymore LOL. All your videos have been great! ...but no more pussy footing around - time for some hard hitting questions! ;)

Nah - What ever you get from him will be awesome.

Has he ever been interested is Speed sailing? Did he do Ludertitz?

Did he ever think a British windsurf commentator would become the "voice of windsurfing"? :)

More importantly, ...I think everyone wants to see you actually having a sail at Ho-oo-Okipa, strap on a GoPro and go for it!

When you are asking Robby industry questions, ask him how the industry should deal with their best customers getting heavier (because they're older)?

Does he have a cat named Dooges?

Does he now regret kicking Bernd of the team?
or just randomly drop a " hmmm, funny, that's not what Bernd said"

Not looking good for Naish interview... he just messaged that he's not back on Maui until Monday morning the just after I leave.... bugger!

now you've made the connection maybe try and hook him up on zoom

Well I got back from Maui a couple of days ago and it was a memorable trip. Was pretty full on, I hardly stopped from the moment I left Geraldton till I returned. I was able to film a few clips from Ho'okipa. Enjoy!

So good to watch all those videos you did. Keep them up! Can't believe how pumped I am to get out on the water after watching your vids.
