The Outdoor Amputee joins From Paddles to Props to talk adaptive kayak fishing, tournament competition, and the mindset that keeps him on the water no matter what.

Kayak Fishing Safety — What Most Anglers Are Getting Dangerously Wrong | Alex Perz!

Steven Kidd — Thu, 07 May 2026 11:20:20 +0000

Kayak fishing is growing fast — and so are the dangerous mistakes. No life jacket. Overloaded hulls. Sloppy wiring that fails when it matters most. North Georgia kayak angler and "The Measuring Board" host Alex Perz joins From Paddles to Props to have the safety conversation most anglers are avoiding. We cover why so many anglers still aren't wearing life jackets, the real dangers of overloading a kayak, rigging and wiring mistakes that can fail catastrophically, and what a truly safe kayak setup looks like. This isn't a lecture — it's a real conversation from someone who loves this sport and wants to protect it.

Why From Paddles to Props? — The Story Behind the Show | Solo Ep. 1

Steven Kidd — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:38:03 +0000

After 4 years on the water and behind the mic, host Steven Kidd sits down for his very first solo episode to answer the question he gets asked more than any other — Why From Paddles to Props?

The answer starts with a TV fishing show, a kayak, and one idea that completely unlocked the outdoors for him:

You do not need $100,000 to get on the water.

No bass boat. No massive gear budget. A paddle, something that floats, and the will to go. That's it. And that message is exactly why kayak fishing is exploding, why tiny boat nation exists, and why this show has been doing what it does for four years running.

In this episode Steven covers:

— How Chad Hoover and the Hobie Adventure series changed how he saw the outdoors forever — Why he built a show that connects kayak fishing, waterfowl hunting, backcountry camping, wilderness exploration, and powerboats all in one place — The real reason alternative watercraft and tiny boat nation are growing so fast — The message at the heart of From Paddles to Props — the outdoors is for everybody, regardless of budget

If you've ever driven past a lake or river and told yourself you'd get out there someday — when you had the right gear, the right boat, the right budget — this episode is for you.

That day is today. The water is waiting.
