Simon Also braves the board later too and joins me for a chat to encourage people on their mature years to try out paddles sports and keep fit ! the Get down paddles up ! format has changed , due to the Spotify for podcasters platform moving from edited spoken podcasts to a video , sit-down studio format , which greatly changes how we tell many of our stories and investigate peices . we are rolling with the punches and hopefully continue to document inspirational stories, fun moments and our own development as paddlers !
