This just goes to show how tough GoPro kit actually is.
The recovered clip from the landing pool at Ozone. I’m excited. Are you excited? 8 months submerged and pounded against the rocks…card still works! (Yeah yeah, I got too excited and forgot the leash.) 8 months! Still dry! Share if you dare.

Loads of competitors, sunshine and plenty of water. Continue reading
Zet are relatively new to the UK market but have gathered a loyal band of supporters. The Zet Raptor in particular has been getting quite a lot of attention since it was released.
Zet are based in the Czech Republic and are a technical and design collaboration of the production engineer/kayak producer Zelezny, extreme kayaker Honza Lasko and the Czech whitewater slalom paddler Viktor Legat.

In 2008, I started college in DIT (Dublin Institute of Technology). As a paddler the first thing I did on the clubs and societies day was look for the canoe/kayak club. It took a while but eventually I got in contact and headed down to the first of many weekly pool sessions.
There were 6 or 7 people there that first night. It was a relaxed friendly atmosphere but I was rather disappointed. I expected more. From my perspective the club seemed to be falling apart and sure enough that year at the AGM, the club was nearly disbanded.
Luckily some of us decided the club was worth trying to save and the next September we went on a recruitment drive. 4 weeks in and we had 30+ people! The club now felt like a club but it was far from perfect. So we went about creating a more definite committee and giving more responsibilities to people. This seemed to galvanize us as a club and is the foundation for what our club has become.
A Sweet Protection Intergalactic drysuit is about to land at the Unsponsored HQ in the next few days. I’m looking forward to checking this one out.
Full review and lots of detail to follow shortly.
