A nice little video featuring Paul Kuthe paddling in some impressive tidal races. Shot and narrated by Bryan Smith and Fitz Cahall. Worth a watch.
Interview With Derek C Hutchinson
The name Derek C Hutchinson is one familiar to generations of sea kayakers and there is no denying his huge influence on Sea Kayaking around the world. It’s certainly a name I remember from my childhood, sitting looking through the kayaking books on my parents bookcase. His book, Complete Sea Kayaking sat alongside ‘Living Canoeing’ [...]

Stern Rudder & Stern Draw
Another interesting video here from the Body Boat and Blade Virtual Coach clips (filmed by Bryan Smith). This demonstrates not only the Stern Rudder (or Stern Pry) but also the Stern Draw. Many UK paddlers will be familiar with the Stern Rudder but it’s interesting how many have not then gone on to experiment with [...]
Video: Testing The Buoyancy of A PFD
I came across this video clip via Owen from Isle of Wight Sea Kayaking. It shows Pete Astles, owner of Peak UK, demonstrating how to test the amount of buoyancy in a buoyancy aid. He makes it all look very simple and it’s got me interested in testing some of the buoyancy aids I have. [...]

Video: No Experience Required
With the tagline ’5 Friends, 5 Weeks, 500 Miles’, No Experience Required is 33 minute film about 5 novice kayaking friends who make the trip along the Inside Passage from Vancouver to Alaska. It’s an interesting little film and certainly worth a watch…

This short video provides an interesting inside peek of the Palm Equipment Europe factory where boats, paddling clothing and other equipment is produced.

Hurricane Riders Trailer
Trailer for an up-coming documentary on the British Columbia based ‘Hurricane Riders‘. Whilst it might not be everyones cup of tea, there is no denying the amazing technical skill of these paddlers in some very big water. I look forward to seeing the final documentary!
Camera Deck Mount For Sea Kayak Pt2
As promised, here is a shortish video taken last night using the new camera mount and a Pentax Optio W60. I never expected super high quality video so am quite pleased with the results. The camera mount was superb – the 3 suckers allowed it to be placed on the curve of the deck with [...]
