Although I have a Sony TX10 waterproof digital camera there are times when it’s not quite up to the job. These situations include occasions when I’m photographing in low light or at longer distances. In these instances a DSLR is really the only way to go.

Firstly the Astral YTV PFD is not available in Europe but thanks to the Internet it is super easy to get hold of one.
I have had mine for a number of weeks and was able to put it through its paces on whitewater for the first time this week. A full review will be published in a couple of months, so in the meantime here is a little detail on the YTV Continue reading
Thanks to the guys at Immersion Research I was hooked up with one of the brand new Immersion Research The Royale spray skirts.
Now I have have said this before but will say it again – for most of my paddling career (28yrs+) I have used Playboater decks and it has only been Immersion Research who have been able to tempt me away from the brand. At present I own a couple of IR skirts. The first is a rand based (more on that later) skirt the Special K and the bungee based Klingon Empire. The latter has been my go to deck for over a year – I love it!

I have a number of new bits of kit heading this way over the next few weeks for review.
The 1st to land will be the new K2 Union Suit and Royal Spraydeck from Immersion Research.
More landing soon.
Rapid Mag on the case again, this time with the guys from NRS.
NRS kit is available from Rapid Kayaks here in the UK.
I love little bits of kit – knives, stoves etc they all have their own place in the kit store. I have a few stoves from the very complex multi fuel expedition varieties to the super simple drinks can. Search the net for penny stoves/alcohol stoves and you’ll find loads of guides on how to make a stove out of an old drinks can.
I’ve made a few with mixed success but have been really happy with the whitebox stoves I purchased on line via ebay.
These bags look superb. The idea behind them was to recycyle or even upcycle vinyl advertising posters to creating something useful and in each case unique. The SMAXBros have really created something special here.
Super fast and super long the Liquid Logic XP will be hitting the water in the UK anytime now.
May be the perfect cross over kayak?
We catch up with Hans Nuts, designer for Wave Sport, to talk about the new Mobius Carbon, Bryan Kirk, and his cat.
Hastings gives us a look at some of the new blade shapes and designs coming in the AT Paddles lineup but also lets us in on a new technology that will help ensure you never find yourself up a creek (with a broken paddle).
Dagger’s entry into the cross over market – the Katana sparked a great deal of interest when images of parts of the boat were leaked on the net. Most were hoping for a revamp of the Nomad creakier. Nevertheless the Katana looks like it will be a great paddle and will be popular with a wide section of the market.
Team Dagger’s Chris Gragtman’s gives us the bow to stern on Dagger’s new Katana. Designed for whitewater overnighters, to easy river trips
