Paddling The Blue Podcast

John Chase interviews inspiring paddlers from the US and across the globe doing great things from the seat of a kayak. If you want to learn about sea kayaking destinations, trips, and personalities from the world of paddle sports, we have you covered!

Today’s episode with Mark Evans is a bit backward from our other episodes. Normally we talk about a trip that has already happened. Well, this one hasn’t happened yet and is about to kick off. Mark Evans brings a vast adventure pedigree, from crossing Greenland, a year in Svalbard, teaching in Africa, and retracing famous routes overland through Africa. His latest exploration is a second attempt at paddling the coastline of Oman, a country not known for kayaking but surprisingly rugged by land and rich in water.

The trip combines expedition paddling with science and education: eDNA sampling, hydrophone recordings, daily podcast updates, VR 360° imagery and classroom outreach. Mark explains support logistics and the coastal landscapes and challenges he expects to face.
