Episode Description: Jessica B. Harris may have been born and raised in New York City, but she has Tennessee roots through her father and has spent much of her life split between homes in the Northeast and the South – specifically New Orleans. For more than fifty years, she has been a college professor, a writer, and a lecturer, and her many books have earned her a reputation as an authority on food of the African Diaspora, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the James Beard Foundation. A few years back, Netflix adapted her book, High on the Hog: A Culinary Journey from Africa to America , into a 4 part docuseries. And I’m very proud to say that she’s a longtime contributor to Southern Living with a regular column called The Welcome Table. This episode was recorded in the Southern Living Birmingham studios, and Sid and Jessica talked about her mother’s signature mac and cheese, the cast-iron skillet she’d be sure to save if ever her house were on fire, and her dear friend, the late New Orleans chef Leah Chase.

I was very privileged to chat to Pete Cabrinha earlier this year. Pete is one of Hawaii's most talented watermen, a pioneer of many of the ocean sports we all love. He had a glittering windsurfing career in the 80's and was part of the first group of riders to tow surf the monstrous waves at Jaws.
Pete has a huge passion for trying new things on the water and more recently he's become totally addicted to foil surfing. He picked up kiteboarding before it was even really a sport and he's the driving force behind one of the world's biggest kiteboarding brands, Cabrinha.
We also talk about his love of art and travelling and there are some great stories from the very early days of his windsurfing career. I learned a lot about Pete during this conversation and I hope you do too!

46: Leo Koenig - CEO/Founder WOO Sports - The man responsible for the gamification of kiteboarding! 1:28:00

1 year ago1:28:00

1:28:00

Leo Koenig, the founder of WOO Sports, shares his journey of getting into the water sports world and developing the WOO device. The small blue box that attaches to a kiteboard and measures the height of jumps. Leo discusses the challenges of manufacturing and finding reliable suppliers and the importance of trust and good relationships in business. He also talks about the decision to narrow the company's focus to kiteboarding and its impact on the sport. The journey of developing the WOO device was filled with challenges and setbacks, but the team persevered. They had to overcome waterproofing issues, component obsolescence, and manufacturing challenges. The WOO 4.0 is a significant improvement from the original device, with advancements in technology, motion sensors, and the device's sealing. The WOO community has grown to 45,000 members, and the device has invigorated the sport of kiteboarding by making it more fun. Safety is a priority for WOO, and they aim to promote responsible use of the device. The company also plans to formalise the world record chase and attract more spectators and sponsors to the sport. WOO uses rotation information from the board to accurately detect jumps. They have systems in place to detect and address any measurement errors or cheating attempts. Self-policing is encouraged within the community, and WOO has automated systems and a human referee to ensure fair competition. WOO's competition pushes them to improve and educate the market about the science and technology behind their product. They have joined forces with Boards and More to offload non-value-adding tasks and focus on delivering even more value to customers. WOO is constantly working on new developments and innovations.…

I've wanted to get Hannah on the podcast for a while now, so this was a great opportunity to catch up. I've known Hannah since the start of her kiteboarding career, and to see her progress from a young talent to a global superstar of the sport has been impressive.

Ralf Grösel is one of the highest functioning humans I know, a kite designer, paragliding designer, racing car driver and successful businessman his accolades are many. He recently got in touch to invite me to North Macedonia to have a look at Brainchild Production, a new project which has set up a sustainable production facility in the country. At a time when shipping costs are through the roof, a European factory makes a lot more sense; the extra labour costs are offset by lower shipping costs. However, it also presents an opportunity to create something from the ground up, and when you start from the beginning, it's possible to rethink the entire production process. Ralf has done this with sustainability at the core of the ethos, but it goes much further than that with attention to detail and a finished product that literally blew my mind it's well worth listening to this episode to see what the future holds for watersports production.…

As promised a new episode with an old favourite, Dom Moore. Last time we spoke he was embarking on treatment for the big C. This time he's in the clear, sober, surfing and learning science. We have an entertaining conversation about what he's been up to, his 9 odd months sober and how he hasn't bought any meat or fish in the last 5 or so years, instead spearfishing and hunting for his protein. It might not be for everyone, but it's an enjoyable conversation all the same!…

I'm Back! An interesting episode for you this time around as I chat to Alan Jones from Talk Funding. Alan approached me wanting to do a podcast about my new project, FacePlant Sunglasses, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to pick up the baton again and kick off Intriguing Beings once again. We chat about the Kickstarter campaign that we launched for FacePlant, the reason why we wanted to change the way you think about sunglasses and lots more. If you've been wondering why I've not really been doing many of these lately then this explains it pretty well. We're flat out with the publishing business and now launching this new project as well, time is limited! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wefaceplant/faceplant-sunglasses…

Listen in as I chat to Jon Modica, the man behind the recent buyout of Cabrinha from the Pryde Group. If you've not heard of Jon he used to be a pro rider for Cabrinha back in the day, and now he's bought it alongside some other investors. That's a pretty incredible story, whichever way you look at it. In addition to this Adventure Sports have just got the license for all the Dakine wind products too, we're expecting to see some interesting products coming out of the Cabrinha and Dakine brands over the next few years and it was great to sit down with Jon and find out a little more about where he has come from and what he has been up to over the last ten years or so!

It was never intended to be a podcast, but it felt too good not to share... Enjoy!…
