Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
For the last few years the weather in the UK around the end of July/beginning of August has provided some of the best whitewater conditions of the year. In some cases much better than in winter. So to all the boys and girls getting out onto this years summer white water – stay safe.
Those of you who have followed the site for many years will know that I usually only ever use Playboater spraydecks. I have owned a few and they are always superb. When I initially tried my Immersion Research Klingon Empire Spraydeck I was simply blown away. But how is it 1 year on?
Check out my thoughts on the Pyranha Jed here.
This has to be one skill that all paddlers need to develop. The ability to hunker down as far as I am concerned is the ability to stay in one place for a prolonged period of time and allow time to pass by without getting bored, distracted or getting het up about it.
I’ve found myself in days gone by sat in airports waiting for transfers, sitting at a get in/out waiting for the shuttle to return. Those who I have been with and couldn’t hunker down had a pretty tough time and no doubt found that time passed really slowly.

For the past few years, I have been searching for the best whitewater, good friends, amazing views, and new experiences. This video has some of the best kayaking, best campsites, and some of my best memories of the past couple years. Locations are in order, PNW, British Columbia, Norway, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina.

Good fun levels on the Egua, including a thunderstorm and some Helmet removal. Part of my River a Week series, highlighting one river each week (or two) that I have paddled and enjoyed. See my other videos for the other episodes I have done. Or click follow to stay tuned to my video blog. Thanks Liam.

A short video showing team Pyranha hanging out with local boaters in the hood river area, giving hints/ tips and spreading the Pyranha awesomeness. Thanks to everyone that came along, we had a blast.
Well here it is in the flesh and in the UK.
The playboater troubleshooter series is quickly becoming one of the must watch range of videos on the net. I watch a great deal of kayak videos online and only a select few get posted on Unsponsored. The work that Chris Wing produces is simply A1.
