Montreal Eau Vive is a very slick edit from Nick Troutman. Filmed entirely with GoPro cameras and the GoPro Karma.
Pyranha has a new kayak due out very shortly. In addition to the teaser images posted by Pyranha Fraser Watson got a look at the new Pyranha kayak a couple of weeks back at the Tryweryn.
Firstly here are the two Pyranha images.
Bren has been paddling in Montreal.
Big waves, small kayaks and jet skis. What is there not to like?
We’ve just had this in direct from Spade Kayaks.
Olli Grau has put the following Black Jack detail together:
The Spade Kayaks Black Jack is a modern white water kayak that perfectly bridges the gap between a river runner and a creek boat. High volume and high rocker give him the dry line ability and bouancy that a full on creek boat needs. A flat bottom and a pronounced rail deliver dynamic reactivity even on mellower waters.
I met with the guys from Spade Kayaks almost two years ago in Nuremberg at the Paddle Expo. Despite the Ace of Spades only being out for a short period of time I asked them about the next kayak. Even then a design called the Black Jack or “Jack” was already being thought about.
Today (22 August 2017) the Black Jack will start coming of the production line. The Ace of Spades, Spade kayaks first production kayak was and still is blow molded.
Welcome to Movie Monday 21 August 2017, on a Tuesday! It must still be Monday somewhere, right?
Enjoy!

Bren Orton catches some great lines while kayaking the lower Rauma.

Epic day kayaking on the Lower Rauma at high flows, this river is so incredibly sick! Check it out!
I can’t show you guys all of the shots that we took that day because we’re saving them for a longer edit that is coming out in about 3 weeks! Keep your eyes peeled because it is going to be sick!
