The biggest spectacle each year at the National Student Rodeo is the Old School competition for those who are no longer students! This year was no exception.
A great show this year with lots of enders, pop-outs and paddle spins.

Fairy Glen #Savetheconwy from Zak Dunnings shows just how spectacular this section of the river is. Zak has used a GoPro Hero 4 Session (see my review) to film this edit.
A beautiful day on a beautiful river but this might not be the case for much longer as its under threat from becoming the site of a massive hydro project. To find out more information and how you could help stop this harmful project, please visit savetheconwy.com/
A great edit from Brad McMillan out on the Green in the new 2016 Dagger Nomad.
I’m not sure which one I like more… The new Nomad or the Green at 2 units!
After over a year of planning Plymouth University’s Canoe Club’s first Dart Dash took place on the last weekend of January. The Dart Dash is an inter-university white water kayak race with both ‘Advanced’ and ‘Intermediate’ being held on the last three drops of the Upper Dart towards New Bridge and the ‘Beginner’ section-taking place between New Bridge and Spitchwick Common. (The Advanced section also included compulsory slalom poles that had to be made).
The levels the morning of the Dart Dash race day were high (lapping the steps), however they were quickly dropping, presenting the perfect conditions for the time of the race.
A friend of mine and I were discussing paddling in Wales last Sunday. He described it as the best best place in world to paddle. Given that he has paddled the world over that is not a throw away statement.
This edit from Luke Farmer gives just a small glimpse of what Wet And Wild Wales has to offer the whitewater paddler.
Last year we had a custom carbon pole made by our friends over at Vertical Element Paddles. Essentially we wanted a light weight and adjustable camera boom that would work with the GoPro range of cameras. VE came up with the goods.
If you are at work and are working you need stop and take a little time to reflect on the fact that this is the last Movie Monday that will appear on the 29 of February for quite a long time!
So sit back, relax, turn the sound up and enjoy Movie Monday 29 February 2016 and be proud that you are part of making history. Share this via your many social media channels. It won’t happen again until 2044 (I think).
Team Unsponsored had a few hours at Low Force on the River Tees today. As ROHO were having a demo day there was a very good chance that there would be a good number of boaters.
I’ve been working on trying to take photos and not having to crop, or adjust the image in any kind of way. I’ve also been trying frame some of the shots in a slightly different way. I’m quite pleased with the way in which these have turned out.
Flowing from high in the mountains of Tibet, the mighty Upper Bhote Koshi winds it’s way across the border from it’s source on the Zhangzabo glacier into Nepal before becoming the Sun Kosi and continuing it’s journey in to India. In 2014 a landlside of gargantuan proportions occurred in the Lamo Sangho area, depositing an estimated 13.5 million tonnes of rock upon the town thats was there. The dam that resulted drowned much of the landscape upstream and the river was changed dramatically.
The river still offers world class whitewater, and is one of the most famous runs in the Himalaya, offering quality commercial rafting trips on the lower sections and harder test-piece kayaking in the upper gorges.
I’m still on my adventure. I don’t know when it’ll end or how far along I am but I’m praying I’m still at the beginning.
I always hated kayaks. As a youth worker on a summer camp it was always the kayaks that I hated the most. Going round and round in circles until set upon by the young people in my group filling it with water and submerging into the cold river.
Just in from Benn Goodwill. Footage for a weekend’s worth of boating in Wales.
Some footage from the weekend boating, its always a good day on the river! even got a bit of carnage in here.
A great edit of the Middle Tule from the guys at Prijon (USA). If you haven’t tried a Prijon whitewater kayak you are missing out.
A tough class V run at high flows, the Middle Fork of the Tule is a very flow dependant run! Here at low flows it’s much friendlier.
