About this episode
Johnny might not need any introduction to anyone that has been interested in windsports for a while, but they might need a hand picking him out of a crowd as he masks himself and lurks in the shadows. Ken Adgate introduced us to this hooded fella, hood elastic synched tight to cover as much of his face as possible, and also wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses.... it was only the one and only Johnny Heineken!
This was a super fun, super relaxed episode recorded on the grass of the 2024 AWSI event site in Hood River, Oregon.
