Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
It’s always good to hear that others like the same things as you do. We love the Ace of Spades here at Unsponsored HQ and we still have one of the very first as our main kayak.
Adrian Mattern speaks about his first year with the Ace of Spades, with footage from Norway filmed by Olaf Obsommer.
Behold the Eddy Monster from Zak Dunning is well worth a watch. #getmoist
High water dusky lap on the Afon Glaslyn. This Welsh summer is so moist.
The new Sweet Protection Sabrosa spray top is something that I have been waiting for from Sweet for some time. In most of my Sweet dry top reviews I have mentioned that a short sleeve version would be a great idea and it seems Sweet have listened.
The cut and construction of their long sleeve tops and drysuits is superb so I am glad to see a short sleeve version coming to market.
Believe it or not the Sweet Protection Strutter helmet has been around for almost 20 years, next year marks the 20th anniversary. We’ve had at least one of the Strutter models at Unsponsored HQ from the very start.
To celebrate 20 years Sweet are releasing a couple of limited edition models. First up is a new pearlescent white model with purple straps and the 20 Year logo.

It’s the start of the summer holidays for some of us here in the UK. There isn’t much water around but that isn’t an excuse for not getting a dose of whitewater action. To save us from the drought here is Movie Monday 18 July 2016.
As an honored and respected member of the WW community CMM and HMH are requesting your cooperation. In 2017 it is proposed that a WW safety anthology of stories and rescues will be published. This is a new take on a river safety manual – it is not a boring safety manual but a book full of first person accounts, where the reader can learn from your experiences.
We are looking for true and accurate submissions, without the need for scenario evaluations. 2000+ word count – The book cannot evolve without your help. It cannot help grow the community, from which we all learn. Our request for your inclusion within the book has not been taken lightly, your experiences and knowledge are sure to be of benefit for our readers.
Yak Equipment is now available on the sports gear website Sportpursuit.com. The new range from Yak contains some really sweet gear that is definitely worth checking out.
Racing, creeks, stouts and surfing. It’s all here on Unsponsored. Welcome to Movie Monday 11 July 2016.
Enjoy!
Burnt Ranch Gorge is a true classic. From steep committing gorges, to big rapids, and some fantastic scenery, it’s a run that every boater should take a trip to.
This trip to the gorge was a really special one for me because I got to show two friends down this run at one of my favorite flows, and we were blessed to see some massive bald eagles and a bear in the canyon. The ranch is a special place.
