Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
Hot on the heals of the Tyne Tour, the Tees Tour was a much smaller grassroots Uni event held last weekend. Paddlers from Newcastle University, Durham University, Teesside University, Leeds University and others gathered in the market town of Barnard Castle for a weekend of paddling.
I’m really liking the look of the new Pyranha Nano. The Nano apparently takes elements of the Jed, Shiva and Burn. There is definitely a look of the Micro Bat in there as well. I owned a Micro Bat (Micro 230) for years and always enjoyed the way it paddled.
The detailed images below were kindly supplied by the guys at Robin Hood Watersports. (Many thanks). The Nano is available in a wide range of colours and can either include the Connect or Elite outfitting system. The boat below is from the standard range of colours and has the Connect outfitting system that most of us are familiar with.
The Nano is a short creek boat with a playful nature, it has influences from Shiva, Jed and Burn make for a super maneuverable, compact creeker with the ability to run harder lines as well as open up play potential.
Aspiring creekers will find the Nano stable, easy to roll and playful enough to enjoy river features.
Experienced boaters will get big fun in a small package.
The Wifi update for the Silver and White editions of the Hero 3 is now available.
The update will allow the Hero 3 to use the wifi app on your iOS or Android devices.

The Palm Spark Surface Immersion suit has been awarded Canoe & Kayak UK product of the year for 2012. I picked up a Spark earlier this year shortly after it was launched.
Over the course of the last few months the Palm Spark Surface Immersion Suit has been worn a fair bit. I’ve worn it during WWSR courses, kayaking, canoeing, ww rafting and bell boating, so it has had a really good test.

I thought I’d just post a few images of some of the MYOG (Make Your Own Gear) kit that I have made so far this year. My most recently made Pertex hammock still needs a photoshoot.

I had the GoPro Hero 3 out this evening on the water. This was the first time I had worn the 3 on my kayak helmet. The weight difference between the 2 and 3 is very noticeable, especially when it’s on your head. This in itself is worth the upgrade.
