Wood, Water, and the Swedish Way: A Visit to Petrus Kajak
On this episode of The Dubcast with Dubside, Dubside travels to the idyllic beachside waters of southern Sweden to visit friend and local kayak heroes Petrus and Irene from Petrus Kajak. Petrus discusses how they expanded a solo kayak construction operation to a full-time boatbuilding and rental business, operating hands-on workshops where students build their own wooden kayaks from the ground up. Irene provides a behind-the-scenes tour of the day-to-day operations—and shares the history behind the addition of a robot lawnmower to the team, christened “Dubside Junior.”
They look back over their Scout heritage, Sweden’s right of public access (Allemansrätten), and the art of staying cool with vacationing canoeists. There’s a multilingual twist too, as they also provide impromptu translations of their services in Swedish and German.
A warm and easygoing dialogue rich in wisdom, wit, and the unmistakable beat of a water, wood, and people-based life.
