In this episode I discuss a new challenge on the horizon for 'The Dust Up'. We are launching our own YouTube channel dedicated to surfboard design content.
The first stage of establishing 'The Dust Up' was creating a podcast that focuses on surfboards and the amazingly talented people that make them. With the help of other shapers such as Luke Howarth, we want to provide surfboard design information and start positive conversations in the surfboard industry.
The second stage of The Dust Up journey is to create a visual content and continue to provide more information about surfboard design. Over the years there has been some great surfboard content created by magazines but some of it can be a little shallow and lack detail. We want ours to provide the extra detail.
The first series is called 'Changing Channels' and will take a deep dive into various channel bottom designs. Each episode will document a specific channel design including the shaping and design theory being applied. The board will then be surfed and feedback provided. At this stage there will be 6 or 7 episodes.
To achieve this we are reaching out to the amazing Dust Up community for assistance to cover the costs for a surf videographer and music rights.
We encourage people to sign up as a Dust Up Podcast member on Patreon or make a one off contribution. I also created a Kickstarter page for people to contribute. This page will only be available until the 18th of September.
We are asking for small contributions between $2 to $5 and links to Patreon and Kickstarter can be found on The Dust Up Instagram homepage. Alternatively, you can go to their websites and search 'The Dust Up Podcast' to find them.
The plan is to have the episode behind a paywall and a nominal fee of $1 to $2 to watch per episode. Any contribution $5 or more will get early access to the episodes, free of charge.
We are really looking forward to new challenges and further establish 'The Dust Up' as... THE PODCAST FOR SHAPERS AND SURFBOARD NERDS!
