Hosted by the legendary kayak instructor, performer, and cultural explorer Dubside, each episode blends insightful conversations, first-hand field recordings, and rich storytelling from Greenland and beyond.

SPECIAL GUEST GREG STAMER
IN THIS EPISODE:
Founder and former president of Qajaq USA Greg Stamer talks about how our knowledge of Greenland style kayaking has evolved through decades of overcoming ignorance and paddling dogma that persisted both within and outside of the Greenland style kayaking movement. He also discusses the fascinating cultural differences between the Americans and Greenlanders, and the sensitive issue of cultural appropriation.
