Looking After Your Drysuit

31 May 2013 / / 2 Comments

It’s hit the time of year here in the UK that it is time to put the drysuit away and dig the shorts out. It’s been a long and wet winter/spring so the kit has taken a fair bit of abuse.

Looking After Your Drysuit

I’m currently the proud owner of a Palm Spark Surface Immersion suit. When I say proud I mean it. However you need to look after your gear if you want it to last as long as possible. Leaving good gear in a damp state in the back of the car or in the bottom of a gear bag is not going to help it survive.

The suit has been a superb choice and has served me well over the last year+. It’s now time to get it ready for storage.

Dagger’s New Kayak – Katana

30 May 2013 / / 0 Comments

Over the last few weeks Dagger have been teasing us with little clues about their new kayak design. The video of the new boat now known to be the Katana will be released tomorrow. From the images of the prototype it looks like it will be a cross-over kayak and will be similar in some respects to the Pyranha Fusion, Liquid Logic XP and Wavesport Ethos.

Dagger Kingpin Icon – Review

27 May 2013 / / 0 Comments

The Kingpin Icon is a tweaked/updated version of Dagger’s Kingpin. On first glance it is very difficult to see what ia actually different. The Icon has been in Dagger’s line up for a number of years now and has been tweaked over the years. The boat I tried was a later model.

Dagger GT

23 May 2013 / / 0 Comments

The Dagger GT is a classic river kayak. It is both stable and forgiving but at the same time can be pushed a little and will happily surf (and spin) all day long. The GT has great forward speed which allows the paddler to punch through waves/stoppers and across chewy eddy lines.
