For the last 9 months or so myself and a group of friends have been saving up footage for a paddling film. So if you’ve got 43 minutes going spare enjoy some high water from Kenya, Siberia, Pakistan, Meghalaya and the UK: Joe

On Sunday a group of us headed up to Scotland for a wee bit of camping and surfing at one of the UK’s best play spots: the Falls of Lora, a tidal race flowing out of Loch Etive. With the Jed, Loki and Varun we were able to catch pretty much every wave that formed …

This last weekend saw another epic NSR. For the first time in years we were blessed with sunshine, which made the early mornings on the water much more manageable after the world famous NSR party nights. Pyranha were down with a fleet of demo boats, and the Nano and Loki were getting a lot of …

Back in August and September I spent a good six weeks in Uttarakhand kayaking and spending a lot of time with Shalabh Gahlaut. A firm belief Shalabh holds is India may have the best kayaking in the world, it just needs to be found. I agree. India is already known for its big volume in …

This weekend just gone has seen epic flooding hit Mid-Wales. Whilst for some it was a horrible weekend of swimming out of windows to safety or watching belongings get swept away, up in the hills a couple of kayakers had a great time on the upper section of the upper Ystwyth, a run that hasn’t …

So this year has been my last with my uni canoe club, and rather that putting footage out each time we’ve paddled something cool we decided to save all our footage to make a wee film that captures the variety of whitewater in Wales. Three of us who are (hopefully) graduating this year are heading …
