Paddle and Flow

Welcome to Episode 6, Paddle and Flow’s Christmas special! 🎄

Alex and Nicola want to say a big thank you to everyone who has watched, listened and commented in the first few weeks since we launched our podcast. 

This episode was the perfect opportunity to respond to some of the comments and questions that we’ve received over the last few weeks.

There’s also a bit of paddle chat - Alex talks about the great conditions he had on a recent paddle from one of Dunbar’s beautiful beaches. Find this on his YouTube channel ELKayak Fish - YouTube (Exciting News and Catching Winter FISH! - Kayak Fishing Scotland - YouTube) 

We talk about getting out on the water together for the first time since Alex hurt his back and almost recording an on-water episode which was the original idea behind the podcast!

Finally, we have a first look at Felipe Behrens’ recently published book “Around Vancouver Island on my Kayak” (Around Vancouver Island on my Kayak - Book Signed by the Author | Around on my Kayak). Alex was lucky to interview Felipe when he arrived in Dunbar earlier this year on his way around the UK and Ireland - This Man is SOLO Paddling Around the UK Interview with Around On My Kayak - YouTube

We hope everyone had a great Christmas and we wish you all a fabulous 2025! 🥳
