My guest today is a great paddler and an all-round great guy, and he’s someone I have a great deal of respect for. Kenny Kaneko is Japan’s long-time number one, but he’s also a fantastic ambassador for paddling in general.

We chatted about his love of Molokai, outrigger and his original plan to become a pro football player. Kenny also shared his thoughts on the power of paddling, the future of the sport and life as a family man in the quarantine era.

Hope you guys are enjoying these podcasts as much as I am — it’s a real pleasure to chat with paddlers around the world and hear their thoughts on the sport and life in general, especially at a time like this.
