Darren Clarkson-King is pleased to announce the publicaton of a new book – Beautiful Blue. This one is unique in the world of kayaking linking poems & prose to describe descents of the Tsarap Chu in Ladakh India.
Aerated is another pre GoPro classic from Scott Lindgren. Lots of whitewater action of all types in this one.
Enjoy!

Pyranha related their Fusion kayak a number of years ago for those who wished to use a kayak for both whitewater and touring (hence the name). We shared the image of one these prior to launch and received a slap on the wrist.
They have now made the Fusion twice as fun by adding another seat.
It’s Saturday and there is some Social Media to check out. Welcome to Social Media Saturday – 21 July 2018.
Enjoy!

Celliers Kruger of Fluid Kayaks fame is back with a new venture – Vagabond Kayaks.
The firm has been created by partners Nicola Simpson, James Simpson, Marius du Preez, Celliers Kruger and Lisa de Speville.
I don’t know when the change happened, whether it was a gradual awakening or a sudden realisation, but I have woken up. I have realised that there really is only one person’s opinion of me that is truly important, one that matters more than any others, and that is my own. And, this has undoubtedly made me a better leader and coach, and I have been able to give myself permission to move away from ‘the edge’.
You see, with this realisation, there comes ownership and a sense of release. The release is in the knowledge that you do not have to do anything simply to impress others. In this era of sharing, likes, kudos and followers we can start to believe that people are watching us and keeping score of our achievements. This leads almost inexorably into doing ever more difficult and dangerous challenges, raising the bar all the time, living on the edge simply to draw attention to ourselves and impress our ever demanding audience. The growing body of evidence surrounding the number of people who are dying taking selfies is alarming, and looking more specifically at risk sports, it is my opinion that people are pushing harder and, critically, sooner than ever before.

Do You Carry A First Aid Kit While Paddling? For years I didn’t bother. The rivers being ran were relatively close to help but it still could take time get it. This had to change.
For the last few years I have been using Adventure Medical as my main first aid kits. I stumbled upon them when I was trying to find an ultralight kit for mountain biking. Since then I have purchased several Adventure Medical First Aid Kits and they can be found in my rucksacks and now in my kayak as part of my “When it all goes wrong kit“.
