Podcast Video Discussion About Paddling Lake Superior
Erin Walker is a frequent contributor to Paddle and Portage media. She also appears regularly on the Lost Lakes YouTube channel. In this interview, Erin talks with Zack Kruzins, an outdoor wilderness guide and experiential education instructor around the world, most specifically on Lake Superior.
In 2018, Zack launched Such A Nice Day (SAND) Adventures, allowing him to live and share his passion for paddling and the outdoors with others.
Zack has led/organized many sea kayak expeditions on Lake Superior since 2006. Additionally, he has worked all over the world as a sea kayak guide, outdoor educator and instructor with many seasons at Outward Bound schools and other organizations under his belt. When he can, Zack now spends a good portion of his winters guiding kayaking programs on an expedition cruise ship in Antarctica with Polar Latitudes. Zack is very passionate about water and its importance in our lives. He feels the more time one spends on, in or near water, the greater the connection becomes to the world around us, as he shares with Erin in this P&P interview.
This conversation was recorded at Canoecopia 2025 in Madison, Wisconsin. It is supported by Bending Branches Canoe & Kayak Paddles.
