GoPro Hero9
Apart from the front facing screen it looks pretty similar to the Hero7 and Hero8 editions, but in reality the new GoPro Hero9 is a bigger camera both in terms of its physical size and its capabilities.

Continue readingThere are few things a crushing as getting home from a sick day shooting with your GoPro and realizing that half of your content isn’t usable due to water droplets all over the lens. I have been doing this trick since 2012 and I have never found a simpler or better way than this to keep the lens clear. It has allowed me to make sure that whether its just another day on the water, or a once in a lifetime shot, my GoPro will be crisp and clear for those epic shots. So try this whenever you are using your GoPro around the water, and all your content will be way more usable!

Astral Green Jacket, Palm Nevis, Kokatat Hustle R, and Yak Taurus PFD
When I’m at paddling events or on a river when I meet other paddlers it is pretty much guaranteed that someone will be wearing an Astral Green Jacket. After all it is a stand out design that works really well. However I have recently picked up a Kokatat Hustle R and wanted to take the opportunity of comparing the two in a little more detail.

The Kokatat Hustle R has some additional reflective SOLAS tape on the shoulder straps to meet newer ISO requirements in the EU.

Despite the lower water, the Antix 2.0 made the run just as fun as always, and can’t wait to get back on there with some juice!

I thought some of you might be interested in my Mad River Explorer RX16 with iq2 gunwales as the boat is often complimented on and questions asked about its additions.I purchased the canoe around 6 years ago and it came with a bonanza of kit along with a host of IQ2 outfitting accessories which I have slowly been adding to, not easy in the UK when IQ2 kit is no longer being manufactured and most these rare extras are seldom found outside of the USA.
We first made a post about Kokatat releasing a new throw bag way back in 2019. It has only been quite recently that the Huck began to appear in stores.
The Huck is a compact, mantis green coloured throw bag packed with 50 feet (15m) of ¼-inch floating polyethylene core rope with a maximum strength of 1,450 pounds. A 70 feet (21m) bag is also available.

In the shot is the slicey Joker (top), Royal Flush, Black Jack and Queen (bottom).
The Joker is new and the Queen (Queen of Hearts) has new graphics. Possibly even a 2.0 update.
