Using a GoPro can mean that your camera angles are pretty much the same – from the helmet or from your boat. Sometimes the best shots are those that rely on the camera being on the bank, on a bridge or on a paddle. But at the same time you don’t want to be hauling a great pile of kit that takes ages to set up. In my boat a carry a small GoPro roll bag that contains a few bits and bobs for my GoPro while I am on the river. This includes spare cards, battery and a gorilla pod. Small tripods are super useful but you need a way of attaching your GoPro camera to them.
Image above shows the Mount Star GoPro mount rigged up as part of a zip line wire system.

We put this video together to highlight good lines, to promote women in the sport and most importantly, to have fun with our friends! You’re not going to see any huge waterfalls or first descents in this video, but we hope you’ll find something that might motivate you in whatever you’re doing, whether it be work, school, or kayaking. See you on the river.
Kaituna Gnarly Gorge 100% GoPro from SB Productions on Vimeo.
Fun lap with the boys down the Lower Gorges of the Kaituna. After scouting for new wood we decided to paddle Gnarly and it was awesome, some of the best most continuous white water in between vertical walls covered with moss and pangas. Such an amazing place, doesn’t get much better!
Thanks Brendan, Tim and Tyler for showing me down!
Sometimes a simple product just blows you away and this has certainly happened with the Threewaves Nose clips. I’ve been so impressed I have brought a few pairs back to the UK. If you fancy a pair give me a shout.
I’ve been using Smiley nose plugs for longer than I care to remember and have never moved away from them. I am a firm believer in the use of nose plugs and each of my helmets has (had) a Smiley nose plug attached and they have served me well. However that may have just changed with the arrival of these new nose plugs from Three Waves.
A couple of months ago I was kindly sent a pair of ThreeWaves nose clips from Germany.
Tree Trunk Gorge from Martina Wegman on Vimeo.
Tree Trunk Gorge on the Tongariro River, just South of Taupo off the Desert road in New Zealand is a Unique place. To enter the gorge a crux rapid with a huge tree has to be paddled or a 6 meter seal launch lands you right above the first 40 footer. Straight following that is another 8meter drop to exit the gorge.

I’ve been using Vertical Element full carbon custom crank paddles for some time and love them. I was able to get a custom set of paddles (left handed) on a cranked shaft ordered and delivered within a couple of days (inc a weekend). Awesome service and a great British product.
James Bebbington has put this little promo together about VE.
A really interesting piece of water. I’d love to know what is going on with the river bed to create such a rapid.

Here is a great MYOG/DIY GoPro rear kayak mount by Lee Barrell. This system allows you to attached a GoPro pole mount arrangement to the rear of your kayak without the need of removing or modifying your boat in any way.

I have been asked a few times about whether or not the Palm Rescue Waist Belt and Zambezi Utility Belt will accept throw lines/bags from other manufacturers.
