We love tech here at Unsponsored HQ and when we can combine that love with the great outdoors it gives us a warm glow inside.
The GPS of choice up until very recently was a Garmin Foretrex 401 (as favoured by many members of the armed forces). It did its job well but I didn’t use a great deal of its features apart from getting a GPS location fix when things got a bit sticky. Although it did what I needed it to do technology has moved on and it’s always great to have an excuse to upgrade some tech.
After a couple of recommendations a Suunto Ambit 3 Peak was purchased.
We’ve had an original Petzl Vertigo here at Unsponsored HQ for a few years and have really liked it’s performance. Petzl have been on the case and have updated the Vertigo using i-beam technology. Just like the original the Petzl Vertigo has been primarily designed for ease of clipping in with the added bonus of having a locking key gate. The new construction has shaved off 2 grams.
It’s been a warm weekend with heavy rain over night at Unsponsored HQ. Sounds just perfect but just not enough of the water landing in the right places, so paddling this weekend has been limited. Anyway the new working week has begun. This is what you could have won. Welcome to Movie Monday 27 June 2016.
Unsponsored HQ happens to be right on the route for the British Cycling National Championships, so today has been spent behind the camera.
The vast majority of images were taken using a Nikon D7100 and Nikkor 70-200mm VRII lens. However some were shot with a Nikkor 50mm lens.
I had to check my calendar to make sure it was actually June when I stumbled upon this.
It’s all going to be about playing the river this year.

One of my favourite moves.
The Stern Squirt is a classic move for those of you playing with low volume kayaks. In this video Shane Benedict explains the basic concepts for performing the Stern Squirt.
Another great tip brought to you by the guys from Palm Equipment. This time it’s the The Paddle Bite Tab.
Del Mare nationals 1975, the Zepher Crew tore the world of competition apart, a punk ass team of misfits from dog town revolutionised the once balletic activity of skateboarding and made it more that it dreamed it could be. Taking it from the ocean to streets.
Did we have that moment in kayaking?
Did we ever have a group, an individual or a sector that made such drastic changes in one quick moment?
