Some of the finest whitewater edits around, carefully selected by Team Unsponsored ready for Monday morning. Welcome to Movie Monday 23 November 2015.
Check out the full coverage of The Hurley Classic 2015.
It all started back in 1989 and that makes this event one of the oldest in Freestyle. Evolving from a meeting between mates in the Hurley Village car park to one of the most significant freestyle events in the world.
Nina Csonkova has only been paddling since the age of 18. In the short 12 years since Nina has proven to be one of the best paddlers in the world. A true natural trains and paddles hard thus achieving world wide freestyle success. It is truly a great honour that Nina has agreed to take part in the Unsponsored Q&A series.
Tell us a little a bit about you accomplishments in the canoeing/kayaking world.
I got two times silver medals and one bronze medal from the Kayak Freestyle European Championships. I was first and third in overall world cup rankings and I have won Euro Cups several times in a row.
Nowhere To Land is a short clip from the guys at Wookscat showing the most intimidating of the drops on the Pigeon Dries in Western NC. It is well worth the watch. Enjoy!
Being able to effectively use both rope and tape is an essential skill for any paddler. The best way to gain these skills quickly is to get signed up on a course with an approved provider. The guys at Boreal River Rescue have shared some really useful information that is well worth checking out. This one relates to knots used on both rope and tape used in rescue situations including the figure 8 family as well as alpine butterfly and water knot.
They key to all things like this is to get practice so when/if they have to be used in anger they can be set up quickly and correctly.
How would you deal with a pin situations like this? There are some scary moments in this great edit from Chris Baer.
Keep up to date with the proposed hydro scheme on the Conwy in Wales by visiting Save The Conwy.
In recent days is has come to light that a number of the people who have written to the National Park Planners in support of the scheme are folk who either work directly for the company wishing to install the hydro or have a direct link to the same company e.g. subcontractors.
Further details can be found here.
As camera drone technology becomes that little more wide spread we are starting to see more and more kayak related footage that has been taken with the aid of a drone.
This edit from Bad Productions Kayaking/Leif Anderson uses a drone well to create a number of interesting shooting angles.
What a weekend, the UK took a battering over the course of the weekend with water levels. The Tees rose to just under 3m at Middleton over the weekend. That is almost twice the height normally seen at this time of year.
Friend of Unsponsored Sam Ellis ran Low Force at these super high levels. To put this into context this is what Low Force typically look likes.
