In this exclusive interview, we delve into René's inspiring journey and explore the innovative spirit that drives X-Shore.From Snowboards to Sailboats: A Journey of Passion and PurposeRené's career path is a testament to his entrepreneurial spirit and unwavering commitment to purpose-driven brands. His journey began in the dynamic world of action sports, where he played a pivotal role in establishing snowboarding as a mainstream sport."I learned from the beginning to live in the street of Shibuya or Soho, to pick up on trends that will be coming and creating products and communication from it," he recalls, highlighting the importance of understanding consumer behavior and building brands that resonate deeply with their target audience. This experience instilled in him the importance of understanding consumer behavior and building brands that resonate deeply with their target audience.René's career evolved beyond snowboarding, taking him to the forefront of sustainability in various industries. He played a crucial role in transforming a major agriculture company, shifting its focus from simply selling fertilizer to nurturing a sustainable food system."What happens when a leader changes the perspective so the vision is clear?" René pondered, reflecting on this transformative experience. "What happens down through the ranks when people clearly understand that in this case, they're no longer a fertilizer company, but they actually are a company that feeds, helps feed the world?"By redefining the company's purpose and emphasizing its role in global food security and environmental protection, René witnessed a remarkable transformation. Employee engagement surged, revenue skyrocketed, and the company's stock price doubled. This experience underscored the profound impact of clear, purpose-driven leadership on an organization's success.X-Shore: Leading the Electric Boating RevolutionAt X-Shore, René is bringing his unique blend of leadership, innovation, and a deep understanding of consumer trends to the forefront of the electric boating revolution."I think a lot of brand has lost their soul and they are just become driven by analytics and not really about the core values or purpose or the heart, which is the most important thing," he emphasizes.X-Shore, in contrast, is built on a foundation of sustainability and a commitment to creating a seamless and enjoyable boating experience. The company's focus extends beyond simply producing electric boats; it's about crafting a lifestyle that aligns with the values of environmentally conscious consumers."Ultimately 70% of the decisions we make in life, at least the important ones, are emotional," René asserts. X-Shore recognizes this emotional connection and strives to create boats that not only perform exceptionally but also evoke a sense of adventure, freedom, and connection to nature.Explore MoreThis is just the beginning of our conversation with René Hansen.

Candela Boats of Sweden delivers its C8 Model Fully Electric Hydrofoil Boat with extended range at competitive price. ❇️Watch This Next: https://youtu.be/Sum3dGQFVsI?si=ptyCFaI2OiEYXoql https://www.youtube.com/@CandelaSpeedBoat/videos ❇️Candela Tech Talks: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKzcubLcBdlTMpCYshZnDhOZDETBflw2V ➡️About Candela Boats Candela was founded in 2014 by Gustav Hasselskog. Determined to find ways to make electric boats with both range and speed, he gathered a task force consisting of some of the world’s leading experts within dynamic modelling, hardware design, hydrodynamics, control theory, machine learning, image & signal processing, structural engineering and electrical machines. Our ultimate purpose is to speed up the transition to fossil fuel-free lakes and oceans. A traditional 7.5 m petrol boat consumes about 15 x more fuel than a family car, leaving a heavy footprint on our planet. Multiply that number with the number of ships and boats in seas worldwide and it’s easy to see that the concept of traditional combustion engine boats is simply not sustainable. Our purpose is to re-think efficiency in marine transportation to radically push the performance boundaries of electric boats and ships. At Candela, we care about doing something good for the planet and all its species.

We meet up with Dr. Reed Phillips, inventor of BARNACIDE® who shares his full story about the biofouling issues, current solutions and how their new solution is set to solve the problem - the first completely eco-friendly coating polymer coating. BARNACIDE® is the first environmentally safe, sufficiently effective means to prevent biofouling to a satisfactory degree. Our patented technology provides an outer layer to repel and prevent biofouling, and an inner layer to eliminate any organism that can penetrate the outer layer. ​ BARNACIDE® is active against all forms of biofouling, and protects nearly any structure for a minimum of 5 years. The two layers of polymers, each with different biologically active chemical agents, together produce a technology that is extremely effective in eliminating cosmetic, biological, chemical, corrosive, and mechanical damage to the submerged surfaces mentioned above. We believe in preserving our planet. That's why BARNACIDE® is made with biologically active chemical materials that are non-toxic to the environment, especially the aquatic environment. We also work hard to minimize our carbon footprint in all aspects of our production processes and business operations. Additionally, the effectiveness of BARNACIDE® reduces the need for reapplication and can lower a vessel's fuel consumption due to the reduced drag underwater.  WHY IS BARNACIDE® ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY?

Pure WaterCraft teams up with GM to deliver electric powered outboard motor Drive Legs for growing EB Market.  But in 2019 they had just delivered a new prototype. The Green Boater spoke with Pure WaterCraft in 2019 at the Seattle Boat Show. This interview uncovers their strategies which proved solid in attracting their mega partner in the EB space - General Motors. Their sleek drive leg design and proprietary components, including battery and charging systems made them stand out from the rest of the pack.  Now they are delivering electric powered systems for the recreational pontoon boat market, the bass fishing boat market and the yacht tender RIB market.  Their latest designs build off the original ones showcased at the Seattle Boat Show.  At that time their demo electric outboard motor was attached to a 90 year old wooden sea sled which could reach silent running speeds of 40 miles per hour!  The biggest news comes at their attractive price point - essentially the same as a 40 HP gas outboard, when factoring the price of the motor, gas tank and starter batteries.  The power to weight ratio is also close - an important factor in small boat propulsion. The Green Boater applauds their eco friendly offering which replaces fossil fuel systems with all their associated environmental issues. One aha moment they highlighted was the low profile of the drive leg, essentially freeing up the aft view from the boat. No longer staring into the back of monster 4 stroke cowling - their drive leg sits 3 inches proud of the transom. Future enhancements will be drive by wire and a quieter overall system. A mobile app allows the user to configure the system remotely as well as upload feature enhancements from Pure Watercraft. Watch out for this team. GM and Pure Watercraft are poised to be a leader the EB Market for years to come.
