It’s the start of the summer holidays for some of us here in the UK. There isn’t much water around but that isn’t an excuse for not getting a dose of whitewater action. To save us from the drought here is Movie Monday 18 July 2016.

As an honored and respected member of the WW community CMM and HMH are requesting your cooperation. In 2017 it is proposed that a WW safety anthology of stories and rescues will be published. This is a new take on a river safety manual – it is not a boring safety manual but a book full of first person accounts, where the reader can learn from your experiences.
We are looking for true and accurate submissions, without the need for scenario evaluations. 2000+ word count – The book cannot evolve without your help. It cannot help grow the community, from which we all learn. Our request for your inclusion within the book has not been taken lightly, your experiences and knowledge are sure to be of benefit for our readers.
Yak Equipment is now available on the sports gear website Sportpursuit.com. The new range from Yak contains some really sweet gear that is definitely worth checking out.
Racing, creeks, stouts and surfing. It’s all here on Unsponsored. Welcome to Movie Monday 11 July 2016.
Enjoy!
Burnt Ranch Gorge is a true classic. From steep committing gorges, to big rapids, and some fantastic scenery, it’s a run that every boater should take a trip to.
This trip to the gorge was a really special one for me because I got to show two friends down this run at one of my favorite flows, and we were blessed to see some massive bald eagles and a bear in the canyon. The ranch is a special place.
We posted a similar video from Jackson Kayak a few months back and it had a huge number of hits. This one from Palm Equipment is a nicely put together edit and is definitely worth sharing here on Unsponsored.
If you haven’t tried the Hand Of God rescue you need to add it to your paddling skills list.
This is Unsponsored. It’s Monday, it’s the 4th of July 2016 therefore it must be Movie Monday 4 July 2016.
That is all!
A beautifully put together edit.
Ever since I have been coming to Norway Benji was always there waiting to take us kayaking. His enthusiasm always made for such amazing times on and off the water. His huge smile and laugh could be seen and heard a mile away and he was always grinning ear to ear at the bottom of every rapid. This film is a compilation of footage from my years in Voss and some really lovely footage sent in by friends from all over the world!
Palm Equipment have updated the super popular Gradient boots for 2016. The previous version is firm favourite at Unsponsored HQ.
So what have Palm done to make the Gradient boots better?
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.
