- We're sitting down with Ocean Discs founder Olli Simonsen to ask about their debut disc, the Sea Turtle, which is made from 60% reclaimed ocean waste plastic. And even better, we're hands on with the Sea Turtle prototype to see how it flies!

Very cool! Thank you for introducing this brand. I’m already looking forward to their discs and their success!
As for someone else to interview…how about Thought Space? Either the artist behind the stamps or the owners/designers? That company helped me fall in love with disc golf, and I get excited for every one of their discs!
Thank you for what you do.
I like watching videos about recycled plastic on my smartphone
Thank you for the video. I don't fully agree on the part about the use of high speed discs when you are a beginner or a slow arm player. The lighter high speed discs (under 160 gr) I think are useful for such players (like I am). My longest throw is a poor 106 mt, and consistently I can throw around 75 -80. But only with a Ballista 159 gr and a Bolt 157 gr I reach consistently those distances. With 7-11 speed discs (also lighter discs) I stay usually under 70 m. And with 10-12 speed discs but heavier ones I throw often shorter and beefy, for example, my Grace, 173 gr, is a sort of skipping midrange.😁
Also I can add that with my hand I find more difficult to throw midranges with their different rim...
Greg, where did you get those dividers for your MVP disc Station?
Nickreeddg on IG reached out and offered to sell us 5 or so, but he didn’t know we wanted 40, so we bought a bunch! Hit him up, 3d printed, very cool
Thank you.
The real question: are they recyclable?
Probably with Trash Panda
Aren’t all disc golf discs recyclable? Most manufacturers have seconds, where they regrind their own discs and put it through the machine again.
