In this episode of The Dubcast with Dubside, we venture into the wild and windswept world of Lake Superior with long-time kayaker and guide Henry Davies. Broadcasting from Henry’s home on the rocky shore of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Dubside dives deep into a wide-ranging conversation about the unique challenges of guiding at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Henry shares stories from decades on the water—his approach to training kayak guides in icy conditions, the geology and hidden dangers of Lake Superior, the drinkability of its waters, how he transitioned from canoeing to Greenland paddling, and the joys and frustrations of teaching rolling to newcomers. We learn about shipwrecks, surfing inland waves, bears stranded in sea caves, and why Spray Falls remains one of the lake’s most magical and remote spots.
Whether you’re a traditional kayaking enthusiast, a guide in training, or just someone who dreams of paddling along sandstone cliffs streaked with copper and iron, this episode captures the essence of paddling culture on the inland sea.
