Surprise, Surprise – GoPro Hero 3 Plus Black Edition

Although the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition system excels at recoding video footage it can also take some pretty good still shots. I often like to set the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition to take still images every 30 seconds to see what it comes out with.

Now and again my GoPro really surprises me. The shot above was taken using standard settings in low light. I quite like it!

The GoPro was set up on the bow of a Wavesport Recon using a standard sticky mount. A tether was used to keep the GoPro Hero 3 plus black edition safe in the event the mount failed. The camera was set up facing the paddler.

Liquid Logic Stinger XP – First Look

Orinally designed for the Green Race the Liquid Logic Stinger gives a little nod to the boats of the past. The XP version takes the Stinger wheel and adds a rear hatch and skeg for true cross-over ability.

It’s a long boat as can be seen in the image above. The blue boat is a Liquid Logic Stomper 80.

From Liquid Logic:

Crossover designs have established a huge following in the world of paddling over the last five years becoming the fastest growing segment in whitewater. The Stinger XP represents the next level in Crossover design. This game changing design combines the performance of its race-dominating sibling with the convenience and tracking of our award winning Remix XP design. The combination provides a truly one of a kind race ready expedition kayak for intermediates and seasoned boaters alike. The Stinger XP’s back hatch and spring-loaded skeg ensure it functions efficiently when loaded to the gills with camping gear for flatwater and mixed current expeditions.
