Hosted by Matt Barr, Snowboarding magazine editor and journalist, Looking Sideways 'takes a deep dive into the World of Action Sports and other related endeavours'. From board sports royalty; Pete Cabrinha, Terje Haakonson, Rob Machado, industry figures and great lesser known characters with amazing tales of life on boards, it's a weekly staple for me. It always a relaxed and informative chat with passionate people always with inspiring and thought provoking tales. Also worth checking is Type Two, Matt's podcast in conjunction with Patagonia which is more centred around environmental stories and interviews.

Originally coming from the bright lights of Nairn, Sandy Clunas' pod is a friendly, warm chat with a variety of people all with an overall strand of promoting mental health. The interview with Tez Plaveniaks, editor of SUP mag is particularly interesting. After having worked in the outdoor industry, the episodes regarding seasonaire life always catch my interest.

From tales of raging whitewater on the Ganges, international expeditions and SUP racing in the UK, there are plenty of interest for all Paddleboarders. I particularly enjoyed the Safety episode and the interview with Samantha Rutt, which is inspiring and topics range from racing to mental health.

Mike Harvey is the owner of Badfish SUP, a high performance Whitewater board manufacturer from Colorado. There is plenty of gold in this and Mike is an enthusiastic host. From Olympians to Fishermen, there is plenty to pique your interest and possibly introduce you to some of the many niche opportunities Paddleboarding can provide.

Not directly concerned with Paddleboarding, this pod looks at ways people have found to perform and inspire others to gain maximum performance. Hosted by Jake Humphreys and interviewing Sports people and well known names, it puts great context into the advice they espouse. Plenty of famous names to learn from including Steve Gerrard, Shaun Wane and Frank Lampard.
