In the 80s and 90s, Dave Kalama was one of the guys who really shaped the sport of windsurfing. He tried out new moves, pushed boundaries and was always at the forefront when it came to developing windsurfing further. Today, many see him as a bridge builder between the various water sports - from windsurfing to tow-in surfing and stand-up paddling.
The fearless Waterman has inspired generations of windsurfers not only to surf better, but also to connect more deeply with the sea. His mark on the sport of windsurfing is not only measurable, it is tangible - especially in this lively conversation with Kai Lenny and his brother Ridge. It's about wild ho'okipa times, the daredevil discovery of Jaws, first attempts at frontloop or goiter and much more.
Whether it's a long car journey or evening entertainment, this podcast is a real recommendation for all wave fans. Kai and his brother want to hear every story from the exciting times and Kalama doesn't mince his words. After almost two hours, they call it a day, but at the same time invite Dave to a second recording.
