In this week’s episode, we sit down with Captain Robin Simms, who just received her certification to operate 150 foot vessels. Robin is a longtime friend of the show and vital member of the Alabama flyfishing community. We previously had Robin on the show in a mini episode at the international fly fishing film festival at Cahaba brewery last year. We go into more depth with Robin in this episode and discuss Alabama women on the fly, her guide services, and a host of other topics centered around a life lived on the water… Including a harrowing story from her time in Alaska involving a very little boat on very big waves. We absolutely love what Robin brings to this episode, as well as what she brings to the outdoor community with her innovative approach to getting new people on the water. We hope you enjoy!

In this episode, we dive into the world of surfing with Jacob Holsonback, a true enthusiast and self-proclaimed surf junky; he is one of the managers at Innerlight Surf Shop on the Gulf Coast. Unlike our previous outdoor topics, this conversation paddles into the uncharted waters of the thrilling sport of surfing. Jacob shares his personal journey, from how he first discovered surfing to managing a surf shop and teaching beginner surf camps during the summer. We explore the challenges and growth opportunities he's experienced through surfing, along with some of his most memorable adventures. Jacob also provides valuable advice for novice surfers and sheds light on the dangers that the sport of surfing may encounter. If you're curious about surfing or looking to enhance your surfing skills, this episode is a must-listen!
