The Soca and its tribs are truly a dream world, cheap cold beers at the get outs as well

There is a problem (although a small one to paddlers) with drying rope, if you have a spectra line they do degrade badly (compared to plain nylon) under uv , but I doubt it would effect us as badly as climbers. I used to use a simple rule when abseiling off tat, clip the cheap faded nylon tape rathe...

It's a good way of checking the rope properly, when you stuff it back in , take your time and feel for any cuts or damage.

Awesome footage

Loved the Dog river series, the longest viewing session I've done on youtube, should be on DVD

Are those responsible on CBoats?

Just got back from Slovenia butt boating, very nice it was too :P At one of the get outs (Prijon shop) a kindly fellow noticed me drooling over his blue Prelude with my paddling buddy and offered me a go, I was pretty knackered but he had his kit out before I spluttered my excuses (it's been a long ...

Great vid, cheered me up after a hard days grind

How could I refuse such an offer, Look forward to dropping you a line in the near future.
Anybody know if there are any Ion's or Options heading this side of the water, normally hear of such things before they arrive

Thanks for the input guys, I'm based in south east London (don't seem to be able to update my profile). There's no denying that I prefer the classic(ish) shape of the 'full volume' boats, they have evolved the shape for a reason. The lack of available PE boats in this style has been a problem for ye...

...The Palm are not Slippery at all. I like them and think they're the best available for long. I even keep a pair of it as spare in case the stop production one day. But they last well... edit: Sorry, I have this ones: http://www.palmequipmenteurope.com/gear/gradient.html Florian Do you find that ...

Thanks for all the info, would have thought that there would have been more of a difference what with the Taureau being designed as a creeker and all. Thanks for the offer of trying to sort out a demo Bob, I have seen the Force OC1 talked about in various places and seen photo's but thought the proj...

Hello all, I'm looking for my first OC1, mostly for running our small rivers and ditches on this side of the pond with butt boaters. I've paddled spanish and super flys and like the maneuverability that the shorter boat gives but at 105kgs I do find them a bit wet and slow going once full to the gil...

Having looked about for footwear for paddling for a while as my normal wetsuit boots are getting thin and painful to walk in (they have done well so no complaints) I'm heading towards these http://www.palmequipmenteurope.com/gear/granite.html , good close fit round the foot, nothing to catch, and a ...

Not sure I've the trunk rotation to pull that off, maybe a drop of panic would get the extra twist
