Micro SD Card Recommendations

It’s important to use one of the recommended Micro SD cards in your camera, or you may experience freeze-up or video corruption issues. If your camera has had an issue it is probably down to the Micro SD card being used. This applies whether you are using a GoPro, Contour, Drift, Sony or indeed any other type of action/POV camera. Buying a good quality fast Micro SD card can make the difference between getting the video or not.

Liquid Logic Stinger XP

Unsponsored’s little brother River has been quiet lately. Thankfully he has broken out of the house and managed to catch some early summer water here at home in the UK.

Airbags

I have always used airbags in my boats as they prevent part of the boat filling with water during a capsize. After a recent forced swim I was interested in how heavy my boat was when it was filled with water.

I currently have a couple of liquid logic boats – a Stomper 90 and a Biscuit 65. The Stomper has a volume of 90 gallons or approximately 341 litres. The Biscuit has a volume of 65 gallons or approximately 246 litres.

Substantial TV Ep. 8 “Peru”

Screen Shot 2014-05-23 at 19.08.37

Peru is savage. One of the world’s most biodiverse countries, Peru came at Team Substantial from all angles. Kayaking in a place where the deepest and most remote canyons in the world cut through the second highest mountain range on earth is not easy. We traveled to Peru to do overnight expeditions and paddle great whitewater…what we got was the adventure of a life time. Enjoy the 35 min story of the trials and tribulations we faced on our month long Andean Adventure. Continue reading

Reno River Festival 2014

Another Reno River festival is in the books, and it was an interesting one for sure. We started off the festivities in the Ninkasi Penthouse overlooking the WW park for judges meetings and a out of town boater party. Needless to say the beer was top notch and the parings of the different beers with good cheese was a nice high brow surprise for all us river bums. Saturday brought on the freestyle competition and some really funky weather.
