| 1/8/23 |  Expedition to the top of Australia - Cape York, Crocs & Wild Water | Rob Mercer joins Mark to reminisce about his 2004 expedition from Cooktown to Cape York, across 900km of pristine coast in the far north of Australia. A yarn about remote paddling in big fast following seas, with the ever-present threat of crocs and stingers in the water. | 1h 08m 26s | ||||||
| 5/11/21 |  Episode 11 - The Bass Berserkers - Zero to Bass Strait in Six Months | The tale of Joe, Trev, Ollie, Simon and Jacqui, and their goal of paddling Bass Strait within six months of their first paddle strokes. Bass Strait engenders images of mountainous seas, wild westerlies and the islands they ravage, and the idea of four novice sea kayakers taking on the 330km journey does seem unlikely at best. However you should never underestimate the power of good plan, targeted training and a fair old helping of 'gravel in ya guts'. Enjoy the story of the Bass Berserkers! | 1h 37m 32s | ||||||
| 9/18/20 |  Episode 10 - When Southerlies Strike | A short tale of the fury and unpredictability of one of Sydney's infamous Southery Busters, and a lesson in becoming blasé about the reliability of weather forecasting. | 15m 54s | ||||||
| 4/25/20 |  Episode 9 - Bob Turner's Journey Across Bass Strait | Bob Turner started paddling in 2007, and very quickly decided a worthy goal would be to paddle across Bass Strait, on its day one of the most daunting stretches of water in the world. It took him eleven years to fulfil the promise, but the paddling journey to get there was as diverse and interesting as the expedition that capped it all off. In this episode Bob recalls his personal paddling life and then relives the Bass Strait crossing in 2018, which he did with Rob, Mark, Andrew and Gazza. T... | 1h 37m 41s | ||||||
| 12/3/19 |  Episode 8 - Axe and Sundo Smoke the Hawkesbury Classic | An amusing tale of two old mates getting together to paddle the iconic 111km Hawkesbury Classic ultra paddle marathon. Damian 'The Axe' Willis and Mark Sundin indulge in a blokey chat about a three month campaign culminating in the Classic. | 57m 27s | ||||||
| 10/15/19 |  Episode 7 - Introducing Our New Fast Sea Kayak, the Audax Azure | A short tale of the development and launch of new lower volume sea kayak, the Audax Azure. As soon as the Audax was launched and won instant approval from our kayaking peers, we began work on a lower volume version to cater to paddlers in the lighter weight ranges, to provide a well trimmed kayak more suited to their weight. We had to try to maintain the Audax' mix of speed and stability, whilst designing hull features that provide a more satisfying ride for paddlers who often find the... | 24m 14s | ||||||
| 8/29/19 |  Episode 6 - Big seas, big swell, big wind, big risk, big consequences, and chest thumping..... | A week or wild weather around Sydney had Mark contemplating the kinds of conditions he'd take on and why, and what that can mean for other paddlers, let alone rescuers. Possibly not the most structured fifteen minutes ever published, but a mix of ideas for paddlers to consider! | 18m 27s | ||||||
| 8/19/19 |  Episode 5 - The Yukon River Quest with Kate & Steve Dawson | Part two from the ultra marathon racing tourists Kate & Steve Dawson, covering the story of the 700+ kilometre Yukon River Quest. Listen first hand for a vivid picture of what it would be like to enter a race that takes anywhere from 40-90 hours to finish. A great yarn, and an inspiring story if you've ever wondered just what you can achieve if you set your mind to it. | 1h 18m 47s | ||||||
| 8/14/19 |  Episode 4 - The Texas Water Safari with Kate & Steve Dawson | To just call this iconic North American institution a race is understating the challenges of ultra distance (420km) in temperatures approaching 40 degrees, sleep deprivation, night navigation and the possibility of an Alligator Gar leaping into your head torch or an American Alligator taking a bite on one of the many portages. Kate & Steve tell the tale of their adventure on this phenomenal paddling challenge. | 1h 12m 43s | ||||||
| 7/5/19 |  Episode 3 - What Are Our Favourite Sea Kayaks? | This episode answers a question we've been posed over many campfires through the years, what are the best sea kayaks we've paddled? In a wide ranging chat, Mark & Rob discuss the merits of several genres of kayaks, from the traditional British skeg designs, to the contemporary Fast Touring Sea kayaks, with a few side trips into the more playful & Greenland-style boats that have crossed our path Over the years. | 1h 02m 02s | ||||||

Completed in July/August 2011, this trip traversed more than 400km of island chain, with crossings from 30-95km, culminating in the landing on the remote North Reef, a lighthouse island not previously reached by kayakers. It was the first major trip undertaken in the Southern Hemisphere in modern fast touring sea kayaks, and showed what was possible with a fit, motiva... | 55m 46s | ||||||
