"The Future of Foiling: Adam Bennetts' Revolutionary Board"

Professional surfer Adam Bennetts, known for his expertise in riding a foil board, believes that foiling could be the future of surfing or at least a significant extension of it. He recently joined forces with Fliteboard to develop and promote their new AMP board, which features a removable jet cartridge providing handsfree thrust for catching unbroken waves or wind swells. Bennetts sees foiling as a way to tap into new energy and ride endless bits of ocean, ultimately leading to more fun and time spent on the water.

Amazon quietly shuts down its live audio-streaming app Amp

Amazon is shutting down its live radio app, Amp, after just a year and a half of operation. Amp, which allowed users to launch live shows and access licensed songs, was seen as a competitor to Clubhouse and other live audio services. Despite attracting celebrities and notable figures, signs of trouble emerged early on, with Amazon cutting half of Amp's staff last year. The closure of Amp follows a trend of live audio services pivoting or shutting down as user interest wanes post-pandemic. Amazon Music stated that they learned valuable insights from Amp and will apply them to new fan experiences in the future.

"Amazon Amp: Reinventing Radio with an Under-the-Radar App"

Amazon's live audio-streaming platform, Amp, is expanding beyond iOS and is now available on Android. Amp aims to reinvent radio by offering users access to a vast music library to create their own DJ sets, go live, talk in between tracks, and interact with listeners. The platform differentiates itself by focusing on radio-style shows and fostering a positive and inclusive community. Amp has signed deals with celebrities and established presenters to attract users, but it still faces challenges in scaling up and providing alternative revenue streams for creators. Despite occasional technical issues, Amp has the potential to become a global platform for charting music and developing communities.
