Yesterday we published a post detailing Sweet Protection’s move away from dry gear for 2020.
As of today Sweet have launched their Paddlesport gear sale. This includes both softwear and hardwear.
I’ve put my order in!

Much in demand as a teacher, his 30 years of experience have been concentrated in this video. Director of the Free Flow kayak School, master of kayaking, in charge of the training of instructors for the Italian Canoe and Kayak Federation, Francesco Salvato has written several books on the techniques of the kayak. His studies of physical education and of subjects linked to sports technique and instruction make Francesco one of the world’s great experts on kayak technique. A complete video, open to all, from the beginner to the expert kayaker. The technique of the kayak is addressed in a comprehensive way, starting with the basics and advancing to refined white water technique, river rescue and freestyle.

I love black boats. So if you are like me and want a Waka kayak, they now manufacturer them in black.

Sweet Protection have announced that they will be discontinuing the software range of products for 2020 and will be focussing solely on hardware and protection.
Paddlesports is refocused, but still central in brand DNA.
Back from the mid 80’s, when the founders of Sweet Protection fell in love with the local rivers and play spots, Paddlesports has been an important part of the brand DNA and history. After discontinuing the dry wear products going into 2020, the Paddlesports collection is now refocused on hardware and protection only.
We believe that discontinuing our dry wear products will allow us to focus even more on innovation and cutting-edge technology on helmets and protection for Paddlesports.
More information can be found here.

Continue readingThis video is (perhaps) the first in a series which will explore the common errors in kayak technique. This episode is about the positioning and use of the feet. All opinions are personal and open to correction and discussion. I have deliberately not got involved with straps or pull bars in this episode.

Watch the pro foamie kayaker Ollie Jr. with a first descent of Lane Falls, surfing some huge waves and holes and charging down a steep gorge with multiple slides and extreme whitewater.
We have a Whetman Equipment Bait Ring winging its way to Unsponsored HQ.
This 12mm aluminium ring has an internal diameter of 45mm and a minimum breaking strength of 25kN.
It is also UK made.
Continue readingI have owned numerous cags, semi-dry cags, dry cags and dry suits over the years. Neoprene seals, latex seals – all have been tried and tested for years and in reality none have ever been 100% dry.
At the end of the day I believe that it’s all relative, if the cag fits right and the seals are constructed or even trimmed to give a good water tight seal you will only ever minimise the chance of water finding its way inside. In some cases the amount of water entering the cag is so small it is virtually dry, but will never be totally dry.
