The 2026 Greenland National Kayaking Championships (Qaannamik Unammersuarneq) have come to an end, and in this special season finale of The Dubcast with Dubside, Dubside and Andrew look back on an unforgettable week in Nuuk.
From world-record performances in ropes gymnastics and rolling to dramatic battles for Qajartullammaq (Qajaq Man and Qajaq Woman of the Year), they break down the biggest moments of the championship. Hear how Sinnii Tobiassen captured the men’s title after an intense rivalry with his brother Ujarnak Tobiassen, while Ivinnguaq-Ane Olsen successfully defended her women’s championship.
The episode also features interviews with competitors, including Ida Nielsen, who discusses the controversial equipment ruling that cost her rolling score, and Jon David Jenssen, whose long-distance race ended after his kayak struck a submerged rock and slowly filled with water. Dubside also analyzes the remarkable decision to allow Ujarnak to switch kayaks mid-race—something he had never witnessed before in Greenland competition.
The hosts celebrate a landmark year for Team Qajaq USA, which brought its largest team ever to Greenland. They discuss standout performances by Kyle Wills, Dubside’s unlikely bullseye in the harpoon competition, the excitement of the team rolling event, and the warm reception the American team received from the Greenland kayaking community.
Looking ahead, the announcement is made that the 2027 Greenland National Kayaking Championships will return to Sisimiut, and Dubside explains why now is the perfect time to start preparing. The episode also introduces an exciting new Greenlandic language learning project featuring audio recordings by native Greenlandic speakers to help paddlers prepare for future trips.
