Who are you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My name is Chris Macdonald, I was born in York, lived in Italy for a few years, went to boarding school in North Wales and now I\u2019m a student in Falmouth. I\u2019m studying a BTEC in water sports at Falmouth Marine School so doing that and kayaking I spend loads of time in the water!<\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

Where are you based?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently living in Falmouth and live about 1 minute walk away from the sea that helps with the paddling! I travel all around the south west paddling on rivers such as the Tavy and the Dart every now and then. Most weekends I\u2019m at Cardiff to paddle at the white water course there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What\/where is your local paddling venue?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Falmouth Harbour and Gylly Beach. I tend to paddle around the harbour to work on flat water freestyle skills or to train for canoe polo for the first part of the session, then head off the Gylly just a few minutes walk away for a quick surf. <\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

How did you first get into kayaking? Who introduced you to the sport?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I first went kayaking when I was around 8 years old in Italy, back then I hated it I never tried it again for a few years. When I was 11 I moved to St David\u2019s College, a boarding school in North Wales. They had an outdoor education department and it was there I got into kayaking properly. Ian Martin and Aled Edwards were my first coaches there. <\/p>\n

What is your favourite piece of paddling gear? Why is it your favourite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Immersion Research Arch Rival dry suit. This was my first dry-suit. The main reason I bought it was because it\u2019s only \u00a3400 and for a new dry-suit that\u2019s pretty good. It keeps me super dry and seems pretty durable based on the fact that I\u2019ve had to climb over barbed wire and through thorn bushes with it. My favourite thing about it is the front entry zip. I\u2019ve heard having a front entry zip can restrict movement and be uncomfortable sometimes but I\u2019ve never found this to be the case. And of course IR has the best customer service I\u2019ve ever dealt with. This dry-suit and everything about Immersion Research is amazing.<\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

What has been your least favourite piece of paddling gear (why)? <\/p>\n

Palm Velocity Cag. The first time I used it I got soaking wet and that was just from paddling down a grade 3 river. I didn\u2019t even capsize. The latex seal ripped after a year. I put up with it for another 2 years (got very cold at Hurley Classic 2015 wearing it) until I got my dry-suit then binned it<\/p>\n

What does a regular week look like at this time of year?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every day I paddle around in the harbour for a bit then go for a quick surf at the beach. Usually do 1 hour in the harbour then stay out in the surf until I get bored normally after a few hours. During the weekend I try to get to any paddle event. If no events are near me I tend to go to Cardiff White Water Centre. I get an overnight train to get there which a lot of people call me crazy for doing that but the journey is worth it! <\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

What did you focus on to become comfortable running big or complex rapids? What allowed you to progress your skills?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This last year I\u2019ve been really improving my creek boating skills. I\u2019ve got some amazing friends that take me down big stuff. Paddling with them I feel safe. Feeling safe on the river has allowed quick progression on skills and confidence. <\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

Do you have any pre-paddling rituals to help calm your nerves or get you into the zone?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have a laugh with my mates that I\u2019m going paddling with. That seems to really work to prepare me for what I\u2019m about to do. I sometimes get a bit over excited before paddling and can need calming down. <\/p>\n

Where would you go if you could travel anywhere in the world to paddle?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a few friends paddle in Nepal and they have all said it\u2019s amazing so I would love to go there for river running and creek boating. For freestyle I would love to go out to the White Nile in Uganda. It looks like such a cool place especially the weather looks a lot better than the UK!<\/p>\n

What paddling kit are you currently using?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shred Ready Half Cut helmet. Great helmet, saved me from serious injury on lots of occasions. I have put Sweet Protection fitting pads in it to make it more comfy.<\/p>\n

Palm FXr. Great BA, can\u2019t really go wrong!<\/p>\n

IR Arch Rival dry-suit<\/p>\n

IR Klingon Empire Spraydeck. Super dry and tough, looks pretty cool as well.<\/p>\n

IR Nano Jacket. Super comfy, looks cool and great for the summer.<\/p>\n

IR Union Suit. Best thermal suit in the world!<\/p>\n

Ainsworth Canoe Polo paddle for polo.<\/p>\n

Typhoon wet boots. Simple but do the trick!<\/p>\n

\"Readers<\/p>\n

What do you believe is the best kayak design to date?<\/strong><\/p>\n

For freestyle Jackson Rockstar 2016. My own boat that I use every day. For creeking Zet Raptor. I have used in a lot and I can\u2019t really think of anything wrong with it! Sea kayaking I am lucky enough to be sponsored by Big Pond Kayaks. It\u2019s a small growing company in the Isle of Man run by Stephen Marsh. He makes the most cool looking kayaks I\u2019ve ever seen. And it performs well too. I paddled one of his boats across the English Channel in 5 foot swells and was perfect. <\/p>\n

What do you think has been the most innovative change introduced in to the kayaking world?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t really know much about how the sport has developed over the years but I think rand decks has made extreme kayaking a lot safer! Also paddle construction such as Innegra and Duraweave in the Adventure Technology paddles. I currently use the AT Geronimo Carbon and have abused it for years and still feels brand new! I guess rescue equipment and techniques have got better making the sport a lot safer. <\/p>\n

Thanks for giving me this awesome opportunity to take part in this readers rides. Thanks for reading and HAPPY PADDLING!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
