Along the Keel: Recent Episodes
Captain Zachariah Rollins
Along the Keel is a show dedicated to the brands being built outside. I travel the world looking for the innovators, entrepreneurs, organizations, and people who are making a difference in our outdoor communities.
Offshore wind has stirred controversy in recent years, especially in Rhode Island with the Block Island wind farm construction starting in 2015. Some see it as the future of energy, while others view it as a threat to our way of life.We gathered local fishing industry experts to discuss offshore wind's impact on Rhode Island and neighboring states. Tune in; it's an episode worth hearing, as we all deserve a say in significant environmental changes, whether you're for or against it.Follow along with us… Website Instagram Facebook Newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week's episode of Along the Keel, we sit down with Josh and Ted, the founders of 1620 workwear. From the start of 1620, the guys made it their mission to deliver high-quality workwear to the underserved blue-collar industry. 1620 utilizes custom fabrics and designs and makes 100% of its products here in the USA. It's a story of that embodies what it means to start a brand and what better community than the men and women who know a thing or two about hard work. For a limited time only, we are launching this episode of Along the Keel with a collaborative 1620 Nyco Long Sleeve and T-shirt.

In this week's episode of Along the Keel, I sit down with Rick Whittenbaker, Chief Marketing Officer for Howler Brothers. Nestled deep in the heart of Austin, Texas, Howler Brothers brings together a unique perspective on outdoor culture and what most would describe as good wholesome living. Fishing, surfing, exploring, and having a good time are all part of the Howlerverse, and it's no surprise that these guys have been around for over a decade. Rick and I go deep into what makes Howler Brothers so special while at the same time discussing the importance of building a culture and brand and being authentic. His experience in the outdoor industry and as an entrepreneur is full of nuggets that I think we can all apply in our own lives, regardless of whether or not you own a business.

Dotting the surface of the water in a cove along the West Passage sits line after line of oysters. The cages bob up and down with the wind and current, while the tide feeds the oysters the necessary nutrients for them to grow.

The coastal economy has always been an important part of Rhode Island culture. With an early morning start in Wickford Harbor, we take a trip out to visit a long-time friend Graham Wason, the founder of West Passage Oysters.

With the spring thaw in full effect, it's hard not to get excited about the warmer weather. Reminiscing about the times that we can spend back out on the banks of the river or on the bow of a skiff casting away and waiting for something to bite. No matter the style of fishing you prefer, it's hard not to appreciate the art of fly fishing. It is said that success lies when the practice meets patience, the same is true when comes to fly fishing and even more so when you start a fly fishing company. Today, we tune into Salt Lake City, Utah, and chat with Adam Hudson, the founder of Blue Line co., and how he went from selling cars and hedgehogs to creating a fly company that has taken the internet by storm.

Hustling farmer's markets on weekends, shucking over 1,000 oysters a weekend, it became apparent that the shucking knives on the market weren't holding up to the task.

The side hustle quickly became his main hustle and before long Casey would become responsible for a company that is crafting high-quality coastal goods with an incredible purpose.

Leaving his home state of Virginia, Kurt Tobias and his wife moved down to Florida’s Emerald Coast, pursuing what he thought would be a dream job. Late nights and early mornings after work and in-between training sessions, Kurt slowly built Choona before flipping the bird to corporate life and chasing the waterways less navigated. He set out to create a brand that puts purpose before process and yet, despite all common practice, creates some of the most comfortable “out leisure” (athleisure, but outdoors) on the market. Choona isn't just slapping logos on Tees, but reinventing coastal apparel and giving back to the community along the way. Not only is the majority of the apparel made right here in the USA, but every stitch is ethically sourced with sustainable materials. If you weren't already excited to meet Kurt, with every garment sold, Choona donates 5 meals to an orphanage in Nicaragua. That and much more on this episode of Along the Keel.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Nick Halleran, the founder of the Make and Ride Surf Exchange. It's one thing to buy a surfboard off the rack, but another to build it yourself. So rather than following the crowd, Nick decided to go against the grain and create a surfboard shop that specializes in helping you shape your own board!

What happens when four Texans break every outdoor speaker on the market. Well, today I had the pleasure of speaking with one of the co-founders, John McKenzie about how Turtle Box came to be.

After a long day tediously washing a yacht, David was for lack of a better word, "toasted". The heavy, scratch inducing, wash pole that we have all become accustomed to was cumbersome and outdated. So with a hack saw, some duck-tape, and prayer David cut into his expensive carbon fiber SUP paddle and fashioned it to the head of a brush. The idea quickly gained traction and pretty soon Yot Stik went from a way to solve his own personal problem to a company that has outfitted yachts with the carbon fiber poles from every corner of the globe!
