Beater Tuesday – an after work smash and grab at Aysgarth Falls, with a little added excitement….
A great video from Boreal looking at Advantage Systems and Z-Drag for whitewater, swiftwater & technical rope rescue.
A few images from last weekend are emerging of a new Liquidlogic kayak. The Mullet as shown in the image below looks like a classic short river running play boat.
The Black Canyon of the Bear River is an awesome dam release section, thanks to American Whitewater! It brings boaters together from Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and the rest of the Rockies for some early season boating, partying and good times! The race is from the class V rapid of the section, Boo Boo, to the take out. This year we saw lots of clean lines and lots of carnage.
A wee video of the Falls of Lora, Bitches and Severn Bore. If I’d have known I’d be paddling all 3 in a month I might of had the GoPro on a bit more but oohhh well. Enjoy.
This is a great edit from the team at Tits Deep.
Four years ago, I was inspired by a group of women to become more involved with whitewater kayaking. It made me realize what I was missing in life, and when I had the chance to take an independent study my senior year, I jumped on it. Working with a semester-long project, I decided I wanted to encompass a lot of women, kayaking, and showing power. I wanted to be able to share the feeling I had four years ago with others.
By now most of you will have seen the story unfolding of the impact the earthquake has had on the small country of Nepal.
Darren Clarkson-King is out there with his wife and is working directly with the people in Nepal to get what’s needed to where it’s needed quickly. No charity middleman, this is direct boots on ground help.

Another new Palm Equipment product in for review at Unsponsored HQ. This is the new Palm folding knife.
The image below shows the Palm Folding knife with a Spyderco UK Penknife (Orange FRN), and Spyderco Ladybug.
It seems that Unsponsored HQ is starting to resemble a little bit of a shoe shop. Following on from the arrival of footwear from Baffin, Astral, and NRS we have the arrival of the new Palm Gradient boots.
From Palm:
A boot which will eat up hike-ins‚ precarious scouts and tough portages. Confidence inspiring ankle support with protective scratch rubber reinforcement and a secure lace-up fit (good with or without drysuit socks)‚ the Gradient still maintains a low profile to fit comfortably in your kayak. Built upon our Vibram sole made from HydroGrip rubber. The ultimate in wet traction.
Sam Ellis, Martyn Butler, Simon Jackson (UK boaters) and US friends take on Tumwater Canyon just outside of Leavenworth, WA USA.
