Paddling tips, tricks, news and gear reviews from an Unsponsored point of view
Dane Jackson is simply a superb paddler and this great edit by Nomade Media House really highlights the fact.
Take a minute or two to watch the best kayaker in the history of white water kayaking throw some big air on the Ottawa River! Dane Jackson never fails to impress with his smooth and snappy style! This short film is made for the pure enjoyment of the kayaking world and the appreciation of all paddlers who get out and enjoy nature and its waterways!
The Dos Amigos is the latest design from Corran Addison through his new company Soul Waterman.
The Dos Amigos is a Duo whitewater kayak and joins the Eskimo Topo Duo and Jackson Kayak Dynamic Duo in a very special place in the kayak market. We are certainly looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh.
We are fortunate at Unsponsored to try some of the best kayaking and canoeing equipment available, but sometimes the weather can be too dry. Thankfully the Gods of rain smiled on the UK once again this summer, so testing and reviews have continued at a pace. The following review looks at the Ace of Spades kayak from Spade Kayaks. The boat has been tested over the last few months across the UK on various pieces of water from stone filled ditches, low volume/high volume burns in Scotland, some of the best whitewater in the glorious county of Yorkshire, whitewater parks and even out at sea.
Spade kayaks is a new kayak company formed in Europe by whitewater legends Hans Mayer, Oli Grau, Matze Brutzman, Jens Klatt, and Jan Haluszka.
The Ace of Spades is a blown molded displacement hull kayak. It has the features that you would expect to see in any whitewater boat – adjustable outfitting, full plate footrest, multiple grab handles, drain bung etc… but many have been executed in a creative/different way.
The Ace is designed as a river runner/creeker and is available in just the one size.

James McBeath walks us through the new whitewater/touring kayak known as the Traverse. The Traverse incorporates a great deal of the features seen within the Jackson whitewater range.

A few familiar faces in this edit from Kiwi creations. How many of the paddlers can you identify?
Earlier this year Garmin announced the release of the new range of Virb cameras for 2015 – The Virb X and top of the line Virb XE. The form factor is much smaller than the previous Virb editions and is more in keeping with the GoPro design.
Both cameras are now available to purchase.
The following edit is filmed using the Virb XE.
