Mr. President hosted the Freefoil Summit
I met Roman as host of the Freefoil Summit in Austria. It is incredible, how much voluntary and unpaid work he puts in his passion. In the episode, we talked about how and why a Pumpfoil club is needed and how they managed to finance a 30k dockstart boat. We also relived the Freefoil Summit that took place a couple of weeks ago.

Local Legend Martijn gives Brouwersdam insights
I've heard a lot about Brouwersdam. It is one of the places to go in the Netherlands. But when I was in the area, it was difficult do see where the right spots were for the different water sports. So I went to the biggest shop there and asked for some help. I met @MartijnvanSinderen at the @NaturalhighNLBV and asked him for some help and if he would be up for sharing it with the world - so here it is.
