Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
First and foremost there is an appropriate time to tow and not to tow. If it can be avoided it is best to do so. However YOU may choose to use a tow system to move a boat across a piece of still water. As with all things of this type it is down to the paddlers own assessment on the day and therefore at the paddlers own risk. Choosing the right kind of towing option for the right conditions is critical.
Trip leader and permit holder Alex Ransom invited an all-star cast of paddlers to join him on a winter self-support expedition of the Grand Canyon. This trip report offers a glimpse into the magic this trip of a lifetime can offer.
The days are starting to get a little longer and the sun seems to be out that little more. It won’t be long until it’s time to be out on the water with a short sleeved cag. For many years I have been using an Immersion Research cag which is simply awesome but is now getting a little long in the tooth. Last summer I decided to get a Palm Equipment Zenith short sleeved top but was simply far too late. No dealer within the UK or Palm themselves had a top left in my size. Roll on just under a year and Palm have released the 2015 version of the Zenith.
This video is a selection of amazing moments in Louise Jull’s life which show how much she loved and lived life to its fullest. Thanks to everyone for their support in making this film. We will all miss Lulu so much and I hope that people can enjoy this for years to come to remember what an amazing person she was.
Colorado teens (ages 15-19) experience the sheer power and awe that the harmony of the river has to offer. People often believe that kayakers think that they have no limits; this is false. We have limits, they are just far beyond those of the average persons. Filmed entirely in Colorado over the summer of 2014.
Last year Palm Equipment launched the new Snake Sling.
The Palm Snake Sling is a 4m length of tape with sewn ends allowing the sling to be used in various different ways when you add a carabiner into the mix. What I really like is the fact that the sewn loops have been created in such a way that it is super easy to get a karabiner in/out of without high risk of snagging. I have a number of pieces of climbing kit with this setup and know that it works really well.
