Check out the new FXr from Palm. Presumably the R must stand for rescue or may be “really good”.

Found this is the archives and thought it may be of interest to some.

Inlet gate – Easy Rider

Unsponsored-teesside

A smooth surfaced green wave that can be very easy or very hard to catch depending on the rate of flow down the course. Given the correct kayak and skill you can surf all day forward/backwards, flat spin and on a good day side surf. If you do miss getting on to Easy Rider you could always pretend you were aiming for one of the smaller waves on the following wave train. It must be noted that if you know you won’t be able to catch the wave that a wave wheel is possible, but it is shallow! Continue reading

Alpkit Manta Headtorch – First Look

15 September 2013 / / 0 Comments

I’m a big fan of Alpkit and the kit they produce. Who knows how many Alpkit stuff sacks and dry bags I own! However they do produce so much more. The boys and girls and Alpkit have kindly sent a Manta headtorch over for me to check out.

The timing on this is excellent as it arrived (lovingly packaged) just in time for an overnight backpacking trip. So here is a quick look at the Manta (a full review to follow).

Palm Impact Spraydeck – First Look

14 September 2013 / / 0 Comments

Thanks to Palm Equipment and Northshore Watersports (for piggy backing delivery) I have a Palm Impact Spraydeck in for review. The Palm Impact replaces the Extreme as Palm’s top end neoprene bungee deck. First impressions are good. The deck looks and feels solid. It is well made and the black/lime colour scheme is bang on trend!

Unsponsored-palm 4

On the outside there is a protective 4mm Armortex reinforcement to increase the robustness of the deck. This should make the Impact of interest to those who put their decks through a rough time.
