  • California Swimrun 2018 Race Report with special guests Sean Durkin and Any Hewitt
    Oct 2 2025

    Welcome to episode 300 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    It's rock flute time…again! This time we are going into the hot tub time machine to go back to record the only race report missing from our Swimrun/Podcast journey: California Swimrun 2018. This was our first Swimrun and a fitting look back as we celebrate our 300th episode of the show. Joining us in the hot tub to talk all about it are race directors, OG Swimrunners, and friends of the show Sean Durkin and, the Godfather himself, Andy Hewitt.

    A sincere thank you for all of your support of our brand of super niche content for the almost 5 years of the show.

    Enjoy!

  • Swimrun Cape Cod 2025 Race Report
    Sep 25 2025

    Welcome to episode 299 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    It's rock flute intro time which can only mean that we have another race report for everyone this week. Fresh off this past weekend's Swimrun Cape Cod, Chris and his partner for the race Emily St. Germain, A.K.A., Team No Tide Donuts, talk about all the sights and sounds of what was an epic day for this point-to-point race in beautiful Cape Cod. As most fans of the show know, this is the third attempt of this race after the first two editions were cancelled at the last minute due to freak acts of nature. Third time was definitely the charm!

    Enjoy!

  • Sport Psychologist Erin Ayala on Strategies for the Other Side of the Mountain Top
    Sep 11 2025

    Welcome to episode 297 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    We’ve got a great one for everyone this week. Joining us to discuss mental strategies for when you’re on the other side of the mountain top–such as having just raced ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship–is sports psychologist and extreme endurance athlete Dr. Erin Ayala. In this conversation she shares her wealth of knowledge from her therapy and coaching practice on how to deal with post-race blues, DNFs, and being in the moment. We recorded this conversation before our trip to Sweden with the hope that everyone that raced ÖTILLÖ (or is thinking about racing an epic A-race) will find it to be a useful resource.

    Enjoy!

    Welcome to episode 296 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    What a weekend! We just finished broadcasting the 19th Edition of ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship and needless to say it was a blast! While the FOMO of not racing was sky high, we certainly got a new appreciation for the race as we followed all the teams along the legendary course. Plus we still got to enjoy the post-race breakfast which was amazing as always! Huge thanks to ÖTILLÖ for inviting us to be a part of it!

    Enjoy!

    We’ve got a great one for everyone this week.

  • Low Tide Labz: LTBz Signature Edition Frank Paddles
    Aug 14 2025

    Welcome to episode 293 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

    Gear Talk is back...but it's now called Low Tide Labz. In this episode we discuss the Frank Paddle LTBz Signature paddle, a.k.a., The Stoke Masters, a.k.a., The LTBz'z, a.k.a., The New Hotness. We worked with Frank Paddle for almost a year in designing these paddles and we're stoked with how they turned out. These are a step forward in the evolution of carbon fiber paddles and have resulted in at least one Swimrun miracle to date.

    Enjoy!
