Darin McQuoid gives us a walkthrough of the new Prijon Outfitting for 2017.
Month: December 2016 (Page 2 of 2)
Check out Jackson Kayak’s latest whitewater design, the Antix. Clay Wright and Eric Jackson will walk you through all the design features, what this boat can do, and who it is for.
Monday is here, boo! Movie Monday 12 December 2016 is also here, yeah! We have a bakers dozen of whitewater edits to keep you busy for a while. Enjoy.
Looking back on my introduction to paddling on moving water, the extent of my tactical knowledge was based purely on ‘looking where I wanted to go’, developing my technical skills and progressing onto more difficult rivers. This approach soon put me in positions looking at eddies I want to be in as I flew past them! As technical proficiency and just ‘looking where I wanted to go’ wasn’t always getting me where I wanted to be, something had to change, it was time to develop my river running tactics!
We have had a huge response to the first look at the new Waka Gangsta we posted yesterday but wouldn’t it be interesting to see how the Gangsta compares with a few other kayaks.
So here is a Waka Gangsta comparison with the other kayaks in the Waka line up and the very popular Pyranha 9r.
As soon as I’d heard about the release of the Waka Gangsta I put down a deposit at my local kayak shop so I had one guaranteed for the first shipment. This year I’ve paddled the mark one Tuna quite a lot on a mix of steep creeks, class3/4 river running and the odd day on something big and bouncy. I’ve also managed to get my hands on a mark 2 Tuna on numerous occasions and seen the improvements that have come through from the mark one.
I’d got wind of a larger design coming from Waka early in the summer so I held off buying a mark 2 Tuna on the basis that the mark 1 and 2 always worked for me but felt a little bit like they weren’t performing to their full potential.
Low water here in my part of the UK means that Movie Monday 5 December 2015 is very much needed! We have a nice selection of edits from around the world to get your teeth into.
If you have lots of free time why not check out the hundreds of other edits hidden within our Movie Monday archive.
A great deal of outdoor equipment passes through the halls of Unsponsored HQ. Some great, some good and some not so good. As we get closer to the 25th it has now become a little bit of tradition (and to save me answering loads of “What should I get ….. for Christmas, they have just got into kayaking/canoeing/SUP?” type questions via email) to put together a list of gear that paddlers and general outdoors type folk might appreciate as presents at Christmas time.
So here it is.
