Show notes

In this conversation, I sit down with Brandon Scheid to explore his journey through the world of water sports, including kiteboarding, paragliding, and his newly discovered passion for parawinging. We discuss the challenges he faced after a life-altering accident, his recovery process, and how foiling played a crucial role in his healing. The conversation also dives into the evolution of parawinging, his insights on getting into the sport the right way, and the importance of setting yourself up for success, understanding gear, and overcoming the challenges beginners often face. He emphasizes the significance of choosing the right wind conditions, the flow state experienced during parawinging, and the innovations needed to enhance the experience for riders. Throughout the conversation, Brandon inspires listeners to embrace challenges and find joy in the journey of learning and mastering new skills. If you want to be inspired by this legend’s life story watch the trailer for his documentary WIND_FALL: https://vimeo.com/1032261938?fl=pl&fe=vl I learned so much from him—both on a personal level and through his experience in extreme sports. Thanks for sharing your story, brother.
