Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
If you were on the North Tyne today from 11.00am through to 3.30pm the chances are I have a photograph of you or your group. Water levels were sitting at around 0.9 on the gauge but the water was rising throughout the afternoon.
Heavy rain in the area has sent all of the main ww rivers mad. The North Tyne, South Tyne, Tees, and Swale are all on the rise. So Sunday looks like pick and mix of classic northern whitewater. Make your choice.
Clearwater is a small little town in British Columbia that has a lot to offer for whitewater. It offers a range of sections that can accommodate anyone in the paddling community, whether you’re looking for some big class V or some easy class II.
This year past and present kayaking students made the pilgrimage to the Scottish Highlands to take part in the British Universities Creek Race 2015. The race is based in the catchment area of the Glen Etive and Glen Coe with the final venue for the race being dictated by the prevailing water conditions.
The event
Sickline wasn’t the only Pyranha 1, 2 victory this year – check out this cool edit of the BUCR Alumni BoaterX by Team Paddler Mark Mulrain; we’re not sure if he’s sped the video up or if he really is that fast, but either way, he won (and even had time for a quick surf in the qualifiers!)

We’ve probably had one of the most contested Adidas Sickline Extreme Kayak World Championships to date.
The Adidas Sickline 2015 race took place on the world famous Wellerbrucke rapids on the river Oetz.
Another Peak UK event classic. A few familiar faces in this one. How many can you spot?
Many years ago Peak UK ran a series of events across the UK. All were based at whitewater courses across the UK.
It was so long ago many of the photographs were on film and are black & white! For many paddlers this was their first taste of competition. Quite a few have continued on to be part of Team GB.
Peak UK are celebrating 25 years in the business. To commemorate 25 exceptional years Peak UK has released some highlights from idiot5. idiot and idiot5 were massive when they were first released (on VHS tape?) many years ago. Well before the GoPro arrived on the scene. Check out the highlights from 25 years.
Great people, great designs and great gear. I raise my glass to Pete and the team. Well done!
Great action from Aaron Kendall at last weekends Wet West Paddle Fest on the River Moriston.
Our annual trip up to Scotland for beers and boating. To be honest more than the beers. This is the out come of the boating side of things.
It’s been along time since we’ve seen an edit from Freestyle master James Bebbington. Thankfully he had taken his camera to the worlds and has put the following edit together. Enjoy!
Beaver River Eagle Race 2015 – King of New York.
