Paul Rigault is the CEO and co-founder of the Døds Diving League and Døds Federation, the global governing bodies behind one of the world’s fastest-growing extreme sports: Døds diving.
Originating in Norway, Døds—short for “Death Diving”—combines high diving with the flair of skateboarding and parkour. With massive splashes, aerial tricks, and fearless athletes, it’s become a viral hit among Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
In this episode, Paul shares how the sport went from a niche Norwegian pastime to a global phenomenon, what it takes to host a Døds event, and how they’re building the future of extreme sports.
