Accessories For The GoPro Hero 4 Session

22 March 2016 / / 0 Comments

I’ve been looking at the range of GoPro accessories I currently have and have been using successfully with the GoPro Hero 4 Session.

9 March 2016 / / 0 Comments

Last year we had a chance to test a preproduction large 9R and loved it. It seems that almost every other boat that you see on the river is a 9R variant. I can certainly understand why.

9R L: Not Just A Big 9R

“The Large 9R is my favourite boat for expeditions; I have room for all my gear and food and still plenty of volume left to stay on top of the water. The 9R L is extremely fast and stays nice and dry really well, it’s stable and manoeuvrable when heavily loaded and makes kayaking a lot of fun!” – Gerd Serrasolses

10 Ways to Fall in Love with Paddling Again

Fear! Sometime we’re not sure why we even bother.

You could try open canoeing, C-boating, kayaking, marathon, sprint, slalom, SUPing, rafting, dragonboating… the possibilities are endless!
