Episode 49

Larry Cain, canoeing gold medalist and SUP coach

Larry Cain is 57 years old and is still charging like he's an Olympic athlete. We talk about the early days and what those near super human achievements mean and how they boost your psyche throughout life. Don't miss the story of his gold medal race in the Los Angeles Olympics. Riveting listening!

We discuss his transition to Stand Up and how he set about making a difference in the paddle community through his coaching endeavours. Paddle Monster is a unique platform that is set to transform the industry with their training programmes.

It was a fun chat and great to bring another excellent Canadian paddler onto the podcast. (Listen to that other Canadian paddler, Maddi LeBlanc, as well).

Thanks Larry! You can find him on https://www.paddlemonster.com/ and follow his own Instagram.
