Peak Paddle Performance Podcast

In this Podcast, I interview Olympian and 12x Molokai World Champion Oscar Chalupsky.  Oscar is largely considered the greatest downwind paddler of all time. He has been competing at a world class level for 40 years and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.   In fact, Oscar is now chasing monster waves, the 24 hour Ocean distance World Record, and a 13th Molokai victory.  All the while,  embracing the fact that many of his competitors are half his age. Oscar realizes more and more that it is all about training and eating smarter to stay competitive in his 50s. We cover a wide range of topics including but certainly not limited to: How Oscar got started in paddlingPaddling cold water in the open Atlantic off the coast of Portugal  (hint-  Oscar embraces paddling in a wetsuit most importantly because it keeps him warm and safe, but also because it trains him for handling the heat and adds a little extra resistance.   Oscar's wetsuit of choice is the Quicksilver 3/2 with FN Lite Stretchy Neoprene)Chas
