This Ocean Life, Episode 12 - Jonathan Cowen and Paddling Alone in Tasmania

In Episode #12 of This Ocean Life podcast we speak with Jonathan Cowen, a dedicated surfer and paddle boarder who lives a life of ocean isolation in the wild land of Tasmania where there are very few people in the water (and only 1 prone paddler -- him!). Jonathan shares stories about finding passion for the ocean in a land-locked town in England, bringing the second recorded prone paddleboard to Tasmania, and going hypothermic in the Antarctic-influenced wind and water he calls home. If you go to Tasmania and want to paddle or surf, Jonathan is the guy!

Thanks for sharing Jonathan's ocean life with us. Be sure to check out his photos and videos of his ocean life in Tasmania on Instagram. You can also find pictures and video of Jonathan on the ThisOceanLife.TV Instagram and Facebook pages. We are on Twitter ranting about anything cool happening in the ocean.
