Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
The Pyranha Burn shown here is a final prototype and has all the features and fitting of the production boat.
As you can see the new Pyranha design looks more like a river runner than the last model. The lines are long, edges more continuous and the boat overall appears to have a much longer waterline.
The HF Weasel is HF’s smallest and most compact throw bag. If space within your boat is at a premium then this bag may be the one for you. The Weasel fits even in the smallest kayak or can be fixed and carried on a waist belt (HF Swifty Belt).
If a throw bag is needed in a emergency you probably won’t have any time for a second go! Therefore the most important factors when using a throwbag is how well it throws, and how easy it is to get the bag to land on target. In both cases the HF Weasel fits the bill. I found the bag easy to throw both under and over arm. The rope pays out nicely during a throw and is also easy to repack if you do need (or have time) to have a second go.
Green race training has us a little behind – enjoy this teaser till we drop Episode 2 on Tuesday, November 5th.

[UPDATE: GoPro have released the Hero6 black edition, find out more here.]
The GoPro Hero 3 plus arrives just 12 months on from the release of the GoPro Hero 3 Black series. The camera comes supplied in the standard GoPro packaging. Included in the package is the camera, wifi remote, USB leads for both the camera and remote, a skeleton back door and a couple of sticky mounts (one curved, one flat). As thought the form factor of the actual camera remains the same. The Hero 3 will fit in the Hero 3+ case and vice versa. Visibly there is little difference between the cameras, although you can tell that the lens is different.
The biggest physical change is in the case. It is much smaller with a lower profile clasp. It doesn’t have the lock like the previous case but the clasp is quite low profile and looks as if it would be difficult to knock or catch. I have found that the clasp is pretty tough and can be difficult to release. I suspect there will be knack to getting it done, but I am actually reassured by the fact that it doesn’t just pop off.
The changes in the case make the whole unit much lighter. The lens area is much smaller and is fastened to the case from the inside rather than from the exterior. This means that changing the panel will be possible if it were to get scratched or damaged in any other way.
The Swale, Sprint and Leven are some of the best pieces of WW in Northern England.

A great piece from Kayak Session and Shane Benedict. I can credit Shane with coming up with the Unsponsored TAG line.

Was able to sneak away from homework and studying this weekend to go run some classic PNW whitewater with some good friends! Started off with the Upper Upper Cispus and Lower Lewis Falls on Friday and proceeded to make our way to Celestial Falls on Saturday where we were greeted by an angry camp host and park rangers…feeling rather let down we decided to go rally an evening truss lap on our way back home. Overall it was a CHURCH weekend and after these mid-terms are over I plan on doing it all again!

I get quite a few emails at this time of year asking for advice on presents for paddlers that won’t necessarily break the bank. Here’s a run down of a few of the things that kayakers, canoeists and SUP paddlers may like as a pressie from Father Christmas.
One of my pet hates is folk who do not wear their helmets correctly. That goes for cyclists, climbers, paddlers, whoever. The main purpose of any helmet is to prevent the wearer being severly injured if they hit their head. Helmets and fit is an important concept.
Cwm Llan, do it before the Hydro spoils it. from Liam Chambers on Vimeo.
Literally the tears of Snowdon. Bit of a walk to get up there, but as long as its wet enough its really good fun. Hydro project being built on it as we speak which will take water out above the usual get on and put back in well below the get out.
