EP68: On the Dock with The Parsons Project
24/03/21 23:01 Filed in: Dock Time
Episode 68 of The Water Ski Podcast is a great roundtable chat with Carl Denis and Nick Parsons, the people behind The Parsons Project.
Since Matteo saw a new ski bearing Nick's last name, featuring a pineapple, and with Carl being involved, he has been dying to get the two in front of microphones. These two individuals are a pleasure to be around, have a ton of knowledge about ski design, construction, and the materials that are needed. However, they also never own a ski company nor were they ever involved with the whole process of creating a ski from scratch. Carl and Nick's enthusiasm for the sport and for creating product is evident as they share the story that brought The Parsons Project to light. And how cool is that they reconnected after Matteo's interview with Nick for TWSP?
Enjoy this episode as the guys narrated their process!

EP67: The Psychology of Flow (from FlowPoint Podcast #12)
16/03/21 23:05 Filed in: Swerve Psyc
Welcome back for another round of Swerve Psyc, the series of episodes of The Water Ski Podcast merging sport psychology and water skiing.
This episode is an extract of episode #12 of FlowPoint Podcast (video version here), originally published on May 17th, 2017. In this episode, Matteo talks with Marcus Brown about the theory of Flow, as proposed by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Matteo covers to some length the 9 dimensions of flow, paying particular attention to the balance perceived skill and perceived challenge, the transformation of time, clear goals, and self-awareness. Marcus also asked Matteo to develop on the experiential side of flow, including some personal examples and the continuation of how flow experiences can be beneficial in kids, something the two discussed on episode #8 of FlowPoint Podcast (video).
Thank you for all your support to TWSP and enjoy the episode!

EP65: Ski Talk with Thibaut Dailland
02/03/21 22:25 Filed in: Ski Talk
Welcome back to The Water Ski Podcast for Episode 65 with Thibaut Dailland!
Thibaut is among the very best overall skiers… and slalom skiers … and trick skiers in the World! Thibaut is basically part of that modern breed of all-rounders which have been dominating the overall scene for the last 15 years. Matteo had a ton of questions for the Ivory Coast native, including his youth between Africa and France, skiing with his brother, the Worlds chase, current creativity in trick skiing, and much more!
This is a fun conversation between two friends who share a strong passion for water skiing and are stoked about it :)
Enjoy!
