Alex and Ben recap a lower James trip from today, January 12th, 2020. Plenty of shout outs to our paddling posse along with disjointed musings and sidebars – all fun. A good reminder that there is much in store for those who explore. Cheers!

Ben and Alex take a step back and talk through their time in Norway. Landmarks, landscape, people, take aways and more. Meander and ramble with us through this memory.

Mike Stratton, Riley Gorman, Ben and Alex hit the center rumble strips on E6 and riff on their trip to the land of the Nords. Beautiful landscapes lead us to cameras and words that don’t do it justice, but we ramble on! Get your midnight brain shaken tractor ride on.

Let’s talk about our favorite seasons, learning new things, and exploring the same places in different conditions to know them fully. Keep going back to familiar wells, you might see something new.

Richmond native Andrew Parham hops in studio to talk through a dawn patrol expedition with Alex and Ben to Virginia Beach for a morning of surfing. Boards, risk, corollaries to whitewater, and nonsense in this episode. Enjoy.

We’re back! Feels good to sit down and have an easy conversation about surfing, paddling on rivers, the cultural influences on how we manage risk, and the value in experiencing these activities in community with folks you enjoy and trust.

Enjoy a throwback that was thought to be lost when a hard drive met an industrial magnet! Fortunately for us, and you, Rob Choi’s podcast was rediscovered.
