This episode of the podcast features the return of Jake Sonnier, a contract rescue swimmer, navy veteran, and budding audiophile. This is one of the first times one the show we have the chance to hear from a SAR swimmer at multiple points in their career. When Jake first appeared on the show he was an active duty swimmer, now he works for an oil and gas company in the Gulf of Mexico. The boys bounce around covering his rescue swimmer journeys that took him overseas, to the YMCA in San Diego, and eventually into the private sector.

We drop you right into this conversation between former classmates as they catch up about life, mental health, transition struggles, and how the lens through which they see the world has changed over the last twenty years.

Old SAR dogs learning new tricks... bookmark this one.

We would tell you to like and subscribe, but no one is reading these things, right?

We will prove it too you.

The first four people to message our IG account (@coastalathleteprogram) "Read the show notes" will get a five sticker pack through whatever form of mail delivery service is still funded.

So Others May Live.

Instructor Durr is a legend in the SAR community. He has molded the new generation of SAR swimmers and has been a pioneer for diversity in the special operations community. Even after 19 years of service, Instructor Durr is just getting started. Never doubt Durr, listen to the episode to find out why.

Since enlisting in 2001, the Rescue Swimmer renaissance man has served under three presidents and grew up in the Global War On Terror (GWOT) while successfully building a family. He cuts his own hair, skates, welds, is a photographer, electrician, marksman, and also does construction. This was a fun and insightful conversation any water rescue professional will enjoy listening to.

Rescue swimmers are selfless individuals who are willing to risk their lives for total strangers, one would hope they are inclusive and welcoming of the best candidates regardless of skin color. Sadly, that is not the case. But with heroes like Instructor Durr, we all just may have a chance to get through all this division.

Oh... and Schep gushes.

New England defeated the Montreal Impact 1-0 with a goal from Gustavo Bou in the 56'th minute.

Theory Henry took a knee for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

The San Jose Quakes take on the Seatle Sounders tonight on ESPN at 6 pm PST

Here is the updated bracket for the MLS IS BACK tournament

Cabrillo College baseball alumni Clayton Andrews has been added to the Milwaukee Brewers 60-man player pool, yesterday according to Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors.

Andrews has been nasty through two seasons of AA and lower baseball striking out 12.8 batters per nine innings, with a 1.016 WHIP. (Talk about what whip is)

The 5’6” lefty reliever also contributes as an outfielder. In his minor league career, he has played the field in 74 games with 69 plate appearances, during which he hit for a .333 average.

This could make players who can do both infinitely more value in the COVID era.

Normally baseball can source the active minor leagues for talent that is regularly seeing live-action. That won’t be the case this year, so these 60 player pools have to be stoked with players they can trust to stay involved and working.

I had a great interview with Clayton, I think I may finally release it here.

The Blue Jays have announce that they are moving one of baseball’s future stars to first base, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet (via Twitter).

Last year little Vlad committed 17 errors in 94 starts at third base.

This move isn’t a surprise, he wasnt going to win a gold glove at third and the wear and tear on first basemen is minimal.

Buster Posey has announced that he will opt out of the 2020 season, citing that he and his wife have recently adopted twin sisters born prematurely who are currently still in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

President of baseball ops Farnham Ziedi and manager Gabe Capler have voiced their full support of Posey’s decision.

The Giants will be fine. If this crazy thing goes off after all, this forces the orginizations hand to call up Joey Bart.

Bart, a former Harwich Mariner in the Cape Cod summer league, through two seasons in the minors has hit for a .284 average with a .875 OPS. He also has some pop with 29 home runs and 29 doubles in 517 at bats.

Thats 275 total bases on 147 hits.

Below is an excerpt from the show. The full transcript of the podcast is available upon request.

“Welcome back to the Coastal Athlete Program. I’m your host Schep. We’re going to be sitting down with Josh Peterson of This Ocean Life.TV to talk about his podcast and what got him started in collecting the oral history of the people who not only find their recreation but sometimes their career, their lifestyle, their religion in and around the water.

Now, you guys may remember Josh. I’ve already appeared on his show, and we’ll talk about that a little bit during our episode. But for now, we’re going to go ahead kick it over to the credits. And then we’ll see you after that.

Welcome to The Coastal Athlete Program, presented by Apex Predator Athletics ‘Train Today, Survive Tomorrow.’ Now from shores of Monterey Bay, here’s your host Schep.

Welcome back to the Coastal Athlete Program. Once again, I am your host Schep and I am joined in the studio today by my gorgeous, co-host Posey Blue Scheppler, who is currently asleep on my foot. You may hear her snoring as we get going.

Iam joined in today’s episode by the flow master of disaster, the silky smooth voice that soothes you on late nights in Santa Cruz on 90.7 KSQD. I got it right that time. The man who you see going through security and think, of course, that guy sitting next to me in the middle. And then you watch him come marching down the center all six foot four of him. Ladies and gentlemen, Danny White. Welcome back to the show.

Monterey Bay needs aid!

SIGN THE PETITION HERE

There are currently 12 more scheduled cruise ships in Monterey Bay this year alone… Don’t change your profile picture, get off the sidelines and get in the game. The ocean needs you.

Schep and Brent Allen sat down to discuss the state of cruise ships in Monterey Bay and the risks posed by their continued encroachment on the preserve. The interview was originally recorded back in December, but the issue rages on here along the Central Coast.

We, the people, have been sold out by a small group of elected officials who have made a unilateral decision that puts the largest underwater preserve in the United States at risk. Cruise ships in Monterey Bay is a national issue, not something that a local city council should be allowed to sidestep in the name of short term profits.

If/when there is an incident involving a cruise ship, the impact will be felt along the entire Pacific seaboard.

DONT PUT YOU HEAD IN THE SAND! EDUCATE YOURSELF AND DEMAND ACTION FROM YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Zac James of Salty Water Rescue Crew. Zac is an EMT with a specialization in water rescue and remote emergency medicine and responded to Hurricane Micheal in the Panama Beach area with the NGO Salty Water Rescue Crew. CAP is flexing its journalistic muscles by bringing our audience a first-hand account of the devastation and providing insight into what happens in the hours and days following a storm.

During a natural disaster, most people wisely try to get as far away as possible. A few brave souls move in the back through the fleeing throng of humanity to be ready to respond. The first 24-48 hours following a disaster can be the most lethal. The demand is real.

Topics of note

  • Rapid response report from Mexico Beach in Panama City

  • The surgical precision of smaller NGO’s vs major NGO’s

  • Mission flexibility and its impact on gear selection

  • Sociological response patterns similarities between the Napa Fires and Hurricane Michelle

  • Opportunities to improve dispatch and distribution networks in crisis zones

  • Ways non-responders can support rescue efforts

  • The origin story of the Salty Water Rescue Crew

  • Ways CAP listeners can lead by example

Look for a follow-up episode going deeper in depth about ways to support the community.

Brian MacKenzie aka BMac joins Schep for episode 026 of The Coastal Athlete Program Podcast to talk about what went into writing Power Speed Endurance, breathing for success, and how to view sport as art. BMac is another one of those guests who has found himself at key pivot points within the field of human performance and if you listen close enough the common themes are starting to emerge.

If you have been listening to us for a while a lot of stuff may sound familiar since Schep and BMac have little to no patience for things that detract from the goal of physical readiness. Train like your life depends on it because ultimately that is in fact the case.

Brian Mackenzie is an expert in the development and application of custom protocols to optimize human health and performance. His work harnesses and integrates respiratory, movement, strength and endurance-based training approaches to elicit unprecedented positive results. His protocols have been used to accelerate and raise both mental and physical performance in world-class Olympic and professional athletes, top exceutives, and elite military operators, as well as to improve the health for people suffering from various chronic illnesses. Everyday people have also used Brian’s tools to reduce pathologic stress and to vastly heighten their mental and physical well being and performance.

A highly unique feature of Brian’s approach is that he voluntarily and repeatedly subjects his protocols to rigorous 3rd party scientific testing, re-testing and improvement, at top institutions including Stanford University School of Medicine, Florida A&M University and The Center for Sports Performance. Few, if any, experts directly seek to apply unbiased laboratory and field testing to their craft as Mackenzie does.

Brian is himself a highly accomplished athlete. He completed the Ironman (Canada, 2004), completed both the The Western States 100 (2006) mile and The Angeles Crest 100 (2007) mile runs using adapted training protocols he developed to avoid injury and fatigue. Also a prolific writer, Brian co-authored the book Power Speed Endurance, The New York Times Best Seller UnBreakable Runner, and UnPlugged, which assesses the integration of emergent technology and human performance. His programs have been featured in Outside Magazine, Men’s Health, Runners World, Triathlete Magazine, Men’s Journal, ESPN Rise, as well as periodicals such as The Economist. Brian and his protocols have been featured in 4 of Timothy Ferriss’ New York Times bestselling books including: “The 4-Hour Body” and “Tools of Titans”.

Brian MacKenzie’s programs have been taught at more than 400 seminars worldwide and are used by thousands of athletes ranging from beginners to elite medalists and record holders via his “Power, Speed, Endurance” platform and by private consultation.

Currently, Brian is the Creative Director at Power Speed Endurance a company focused on the optimization of human performance, corporate performance and the delivery of science based protocols to optimize physical, emotional and cognitive performance for health.

We are joined in studio this episode of the podcast by Ryan Masters ( @ryanmasters831 ); poet, writer, and big wave bodysurfer. Ryan’s bodysurfing career has taken him around the world sharing breaks with THE biggest names in the sport. This is the first time we have interviewed someone who been down the face of Mavericks, and the story is harrowing. The tradition continues of guests bringing their A game when coming on the show. We really get into the whole spectrum of bodysurfing related topics; fins, food, fear, and injury.

The Santa Cruz Bodysurfing Association

“The Santa Cruz Bodysurfing Association was established in 1983 by Tom Mader, Julie Davis, and Horst Wolf. These three shared a love for the perfect “A-frame” wave at Sunny Cove Beach in Santa Cruz, and decided to host a contest to promote the sport, with Churchill Fins as the main sponsor. With safety and fun as the main focus of the Santa Cruz Bodysurfing Association, it didn’t take long for this contest to become a favorite event for bodysurfers from all over the world. Soon, the SCBSA expanded to two contests a year: the Cold Water Classic in the late fall (featuring ice cubes down your wetsuit!) And, the California Championships, usually held in the Spring. Both of these contests were legendary in the bodysurfing world due to the FUN side of the competition.

Events such as the Tandem and Pure were introduced as a way for participants to have as much time in the water as possible. These events are still the favorites at SCBSA contests, sometimes drawing over 20 swimmers in the water at a time! Also introduced by the SCBSA were new moves such as the “death cradle,” the “submarine,” the “Nixon,” and the “salute.” Aside from contests, the SCBSA has taken a part in local events such as Save Our Shores, Surfrider Foundation, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. The Association has hosted a Wave Festival, a Porch to Porch bicycle event, ski trips, group trips to international bodysurfing competitions, and more. For information of the SCBSA contests and events, see the links above. Most important, be safe and have fun in the water!”

Jake Sonnier US Navy Rescue Swimmer

We are joined this episode of The Coastal Athlete Program Podcast by Jake Sonnier US Navy Aviation Rescue Swimmer, crew chief, fisherman, and all around bad ass to talk about his career as a water rescue professional. Jake talks about his aquaphobia and fear of heights, and how he refused to let them deter him from becoming a Rescue Swimmer. Schep and Jake discuss jet fins vs rocket fins, shark encounters, and Jake shares some of his stories about flying in the Florida Keys.

Water Rescue Professionals are often perceived as fearless superheroes when in reality many of us struggle with phobias and pain just like everyone else. The life also calls us away to stand duty, often times costing us valuable time with the ones we love. We went there in this episode, and we thank Jake for his candor.

Many active duty Rescue Swimmer s never get the opportunity to actually ply their craft in a civilian rescue scenario. In 2017 Petty Officer Sonnier got the chance to do just that, and the story is electrifying. Imagine being afraid of heights swinging from a helicopter in a storm, down onto a shrimp boats, surrounded by hungry sharks. This is an all-timer folks, you won’t want to miss it!

So Others May Live

Swim Fin History

‘Doc’ Joe Jackson and Schep are back, this time to discuss an in-depth analysis of swim fin history their design progression through time. From DaVinci to WWII to Mavericks we outline the evolution of the most well-known name brands and dive, pun intended, into what has made them so successful.

Swim Fin History

  • Polynesian swimmers w/ hard palm leaves tied to their feet some dried palm leaves were even coated in tar or natural latex (Churchill witness 1930’s)

  • Leonardo Da Vinci (15th century)

  • Giovanni Alfonso Borelli (17th century)

  • Benjamin Franklin (18th century) As a child he loved swimming as fancied himself a sailor. He would affix wood planks to his hands and feet – “artist palette” shaped) documented in the Smithsonian

Louis de Corlieu (1914-1939) In 1914 the 1st prototype were designed by French naval officers, 1924 Corlieu left the Navy to work on his fin, in 1933 he received a patent (767013) for fins and paddle combo, and mass production began in 1939 after selling a Churchill purchased a license from him.

propulseurs de natation et de sauvetage translated as “swimming and rescue propulsion device”

Churchill renamed the design as Swimfins which is still used in English today. He went to the US Navy to demonstrate their value and application which, and the subsequent order allowed the gear to shine in battles of World War 2. Churchill fins left prints on the Normandy beaches attached to the feet of “Naked Warriors” as they cleared landing sites for the invasion.

Fun fact Owen Churchill is a gold medalist, yacht racing 8m, 1932

Open Strap Heel

  • 1946 Skin Divers and Duckfeet and custom duck feet (what we use modern duckfeet wise) (Spearfisherman the fin company was started 1945 by Arthur Brown later sold in 1955 to Swimaster, which became Voit in the early 1960’s 1st to use rails or ribs for stiffness and power

  • 1948 Italian cressi-sub and Luigi Ferraro came up with a closed foot (closed heel) fin design

  • 1949-50 Udt’s, a larger version on the Duck Feet fin (both have duck feet still written on them) in use on record w/ US Navy through Vietnam with the Frogmen (fighting on land as sea)

  • 1964 Georges Beuchat designed and produced the jet fin (Scubapro Jet Fin)

  • 1980’s or 1990’s Dr. Greg Deet rescued the UDT fin mold after production had been moved down to Mexico. Rumor had it they were sitting behind a barn in TJ

Viper Swim Fin History

  • 1st released 1982

  • I-Beam 7” black no drainage holes

  • Mid-late 80’s

  • V7/ V5 yellow and orange dots iconic colorway

  • 2014 injection molded rubber fins were made as an update. The new rubber didn’t require the use of paddling, the rubber was smooth enough not to make your feet a bloody mess

  • Vectors V7/ V5 yellow/ orange

  • 2015 vector V7/v5 blk/ grey

  • 2016 New yellow dots V7’s v’5

  • Weird rubber in late 90’s early 00’s in both the v5 and v7

DaFin history

  • Andy Cochran, a lifeguard living in Hawaii designed the fins in the mid 90’s

  • Official swim fin of the US lifesaving association

  • Standard issue fin of Hawaiian Lifeguard Association

Yucca Surf Fin History

In 2016 Sean Straky made an update of one of his favorite fins for bodysurfing the wedge, what he came up with is considered by the hosts of the show to be the best fin on the market.

The Swim Fin is a vital part of any waterman’s gear, especially water rescue professional’s, and can be used for a variety of purposes. Surfers, lifeguards, dive and salvage teams, as well as snorkeling guilds, require different levels of stiffness and comfort to do their job. Some use swim fins to train their legs for non-fin events or to increase kinetic awareness. Others use fins to explore deep below the water’s surface and require the perfect combination of performance and efficiency.

Episode 006 – The Great Swim Fin Debate

Joe and Schep recently sat down to try and help you make sense of it all. Below are links to the brands and topics discussed.

Scuba Pro Jet Fins

Voigt Duck Feet

Da Fin

MS Viper

TYR Cross Blades

Viper V5 V7

Yucca Surf Fins (Extra Stiff)

Churchill Swim Fins

Final Categories (as agreed upon at the conclusion)

Dive Fins

A good Dive Swim Fin places an emphasis on subsurface propulsion, efficiency, and strength of stroke delivery. These fins tend to be longer, heavier, and require proper leg strength development prior to efficient use.

Multi-Purpose Fins

Can serve for surface and subsurface duties, often the pair of fins you bring if you only can have one in your kit. A good multi-purpose swim fin is like a good multi-tool; durable, easy to use, flexible enough to meet your needs.

Surf Fins

The Surf Swim Fin category contains fins designed for comfort and control while playing in the waves. These fins are usually made of high-quality rubber that is both buoyant as well as durable.

Training Fins

Fins that are designed for pool work, and are made of chlorine resistant materials. Typically cover the entire sole of the foot, with an enclosed heel pocket. A Pool Swim Fin is typically not buoyant and is not well suited for ocean use.

One year ago the first CAP Class assembled at Del Monte Beach to brave the overhead plus heavy slab waves and driving north wind. We began this Program in order to prepare a group of recent Naval Academy graduates for their careers in the special operations community.  The “First Four” sat down with Schep to talk about the origins of the Coastal Athlete Program, what motivates their desire to serve in the United States Navy, and why they have chosen their paths.

We recorded this interview several months ago before the guys had a chance to class up.  They have since all completed Navy Officer Dive School and will continue down the pipeline to being Explosive Ordinance Disposal Technicians. Rest easy at night knowing brave men and women like this are standing the watch.

We are joined this episode by Fire Captian Andrew Rhoads of the Cal Fire Mendicino detachment. Drew serves as a rescue swimmer, crew chief, salvage/rescue diver, firefighter, and as a member of multiple water rescue training cadres. Drew lays out how he steered his career towards the water, the sacrifices he made early on to gain experience in a marginalized field, and speaks frankly about the challenges first responders face balancing work and family life. For aspiring firefighters, rescue swimmers, divers, and first responders this is an absolute must listen. If you would like to participate in a CAP Class or have any further questions about this interview please click here.

There are many routes to working as a rescue swimmer, but every route requires self sacrifice and discipline to achieve success. We would like to thank Captain Rhoads for taking the time to lay out the path to a rewarding career as a rescue swimmer in Cal Fire.

Jesse Pittman was born and raised in the redwoods of northern California. As a young man, he spent two seasons as a wildland fire fighter with CAL Fire before he joined the United States Navy to become a SEAL commando. After completing his third deployment, Jesse volunteered to do another back-to-back. Jesse had a saying among his teammates, “I don’t run, I charge.” On August 6, 2011, Jesse was one of 31 American heroes lost in a helicopter crash over Afghanistan. Jesse died while living a life dedicated to service and conquering challenges. His next goal was to attend college and earn his bachelor’s degree. Now, Jesse’s wish will carry on with you.

The Jesse Pittman Fund will be hosting the 7th annual Jesse Pittman Memorial 5k Run/Walk on June 17th, 2018 in Ukiah California. more information can be found at www.jessepittmanfund.org (live link)

Shallow Water blackouts

I would like to thank Master Chief Ritch for appearing on the podcast and taking the time to teach us about shallow water blackouts.US Navy Diver screening calls for subsurface swims in a pool to be conducted in various states of stress, it is important to develop this skill prior to arrival. The threat is real when training in a subsurface environment; be it in a formal training environment or during personal development.

ALWAYS HAVE A LIFEGUARD PRESENT PRIOR TO CONDUCTING SUBSURFACE TRAINING EVOLUTIONS

NEVER TRAIN ALONE, ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN.

We will discuss this topic further on a future podcast, but this is a quick and dirty breakdown of what to look for. If you have specific questions about shallow water blackouts please submit them HERE.
