VE Paddles Review – Glass Blade Cranked

Since owning a shiny set of new custom made glass VE paddles I have found them to be an incredible piece of kit. I chose them with a cranked carbon shaft and as splits. The paddles have been put to the real test in Kenya’s steep creaks for the last five weeks. Before purchasing my VE paddles I heard a few people raving about them but I didn’t understand the fuss until I tried them for myself. After borrowing a set I initially took a liking to them and decided to buy a set for myself as splits so I could put the paddles in my boat for the flights and avoid any hassle with baggage getting separated or damaged.

When you make the first stroke on Cassian Lake, you know you’re about to run approximately 60 quality Class IV-V rapids. The first kilometers are the steepest of the run. Then, you enter in an awesome shiny granite ”slides section” to finally paddle the last kilometers stretch of endless class IV-IV+ rapids to end up in the Jacques-Cartier river. Continue reading

Threewaves Nose Clips – Review

A few months back I got a set of Three Waves nose clips from Phil at Unsponsored. I wouldn’t usually get excited about something like a set of nose clips but I thought these were worth a few words.

Firstly it’s worth mentioning that I have always worn nose clips. I hate not having them on when I go over, especially when playboating. I’ve also tried most makes and to be honest they are all pretty much the same.
