Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
The Dagger RPM is one of the best boats of all time, read the review here. If you haven’t paddled one you need to get your hands on one as soon as possible.
This edit from Matt Brook shows some Dagger RPM adventures around the UK including – Trent Lock, the Swale and the Middle Tawe.
A couple weeks ago Mike Dawson (NZL) & Aaron Mann (USA) traveled to Angola to explore the rivers of this West African nation. They put on what they believe to be one greatest rivers in the world – The Kwanza River. It is one of the great African rivers flowing from the highlands of Angola before dropping steeply off the edge of the Bie Plateau.
They found huge rapids, deep gorges, incredible scenery and amazing people.
This film is about the first descent of the whitewater section of the Kwanza between to Campanda & Cambanbe dams.
Sam Ellis has released his latest edit. Back on the water following a serious kayak injury and ready to charge through 2016. Filmed entirely on the GoPro Hero 4 Session.
We’ve had some good water levels here in the North East over the last few weeks and Sam has managed to take full advantage. Keep charging – 2016 And Back In The Game!
Wow, it’s Movie Monday 4 January 2016 already. The first Movie Monday of 2016. Hope your not back at work yet and have a bit more time for some paddling inspiration. Even if you are, take some time to watch these great edits chosen by Team Unsponsored.
David Bain and fellow paddlers take on the the Kawarau river on the South Island near Queenstown.
Some big water action. Enjoy.
As a homage to one of the best UK paddlers around and all round good guy Sam Ellis I thought we’d have a Movie Monday – Sam Ellis Special. Albeit a day late!
2015 In Review – What a year! From high school to college, I’ve been able to explore the goods of Western North Carolina and have traveled to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Canada, and of course all over the Southeast. Big shoutout and thanks to everyone who has gotten me down the river. I can’t wait to see what 2016 has in store!
Good friend of Unsponsored, Sam Ellis hit the River Swale a couple of days ago. Levels were good as were the lines.
The River Swale sits within Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is an awesome river in stunning surroundings. When it goes it has to be one of the best waterfall runs in the UK. So here we have it Sam Ellis – River Swale Dec 15. Lots of drops and a swim along the way.
This one is well worth a watch to the very end.
Something a little bit different for Movie Monday 21 December 2015. This week all of the edits are from the glorious whitewater haven that is Wales, a Movie Monday – Welsh Special. Enjoy.
We have dug deep for Movie Monday 14 December 2015 as not only are you contending being back at work but your paddling weekend may have been consumed with Christmas shopping. Team Unsponsored has therefore selected a bumper crop of whitewater edits to ease the pain.
The Chelan Gorge in Washington looks like a seriously fun run. Plenty of nice drops, rock slides and places to watch the carnage.
The 0.4 mile long gorge is grade V-V+ with the crux move being Final Plunge at Entrance Exam.
Storm Desmond hit the UK hard last weekend with an unprecedented amount of rain falling in a very short time. Many rivers in the North were simply too high to paddle. However some of the smaller burns and creeks came into play pretty quickly. Martin Butler and crew were on Eggleston Burn last weekend making the most of the bad weather.
