In this episode, Dubside and Andrew visit legendary sea kayaker Nigel Foster and ceramic artist Kristin Nelson at their home in Seattle during their road trip to SSTIKS 2025. Nigel reflects on his lifelong journey on the water — from his early days paddling skin-on-frame boats on the English coast, to designing the Vyneck for his record-setting 1977 circumnavigation of Iceland, and creating iconic kayaks like the Legend, Shadow, and Silhouette. He shares stories of innovation, independence, and the spirit of exploration that has shaped a generation of paddlers. Kristin talks about her ceramic work, her collaborations with other artists, and how handmade objects bring warmth and meaning into everyday life. A conversation about craftsmanship, curiosity, and finding art in both water and clay.
