Windsurfing legend Fred Haywood joins the podcast and tells us some great stories, from swimming greatness with Mark Spitz to the early days of big wave riding in Maui.  Fred has the kind of attitude that take people places and he leads by example, so when he decided to be the fastest windsurfer in the world it wasn't long before set the new record and burst through the 30knt barrier in the early eighties! Then locked in a battle for the outright sailing record Fred tried out all kinds of weird and wonderful designs on the windsurfer.  Now Fred living on Maui has a book out and tells us what to expect in it.  This is one podcast Maciek takes the backseat and lets Fred do the talking.

Dave White

Sandy Clunas has been presenting his own podcast 'The After Hours Lounge' this is his latest podcast with windsurfing legend, Dave White! Whitey is an ex-professional windsurfer and all-round windsurfing legend having spent his early years setting speed records and holding the production speed record for many years. We discussed his recent life threatening situation in Mauritius, suffering a stroke whilst out sailing and the resulting rescue story.  This was followed by another massive stroke which put him in a position unable to talk and move but in true Whitey fashion he has stayed mentally strong and with the support of those around him begun the incredible journey of recovery.  Now 4 years on, he is here talking with Sandy and explaining the challenges he has gone through and the goals he has set himself, including doing 50 knots at Luderitz and learning to foil.  Dave is always great with stories and although sometimes now unable to put his thoughts into words this is an epic listen!! Follow Sandy on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67cn0OM...
