Re: Bl**dy Rolling
It is never easy as you are upside down, and it takes a while for it to feel right. Took me ages to learn. Here is one of me getting it wrong (paddle dived, I just pulled) then geting it more or less right (sweeps across the water, although it still dived a bit). [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Re: Burn 2 vs Burn 3
I tested both and found the B2 felt much tippeier when bracing, rode over features better, and a bit less effort in a straight line. The B2 felt, to me, very familiar as I had a Z One before hand, but much more confidence inspiring that the Zone, but that is my paddling more than the boat. I ended u...

That is good advice, join a club and use them & thier equipment to see what you enjoy doing the most, and get some good safety advice and experience from them too.

Re: Stakeout video - XIX
Some flexible paddlers there! I can't do any of that. The slow motion bit made me realise those flips are like flying back deck rolls. Can't do them either.

Re: Yellow River, China Expedition Film
Thanks for doing that film, really enjoyed it. The portage over that precarious peak, were where the boats? How did you drag them up that grass covered mountain? And where where they at the end in the truck?
Hats off though, great stuff!

Re: 3D printing Redux
It cost $500, and the plastic weighs 26.5kg, plus the weight of the hundreds of nuts & bolts!
Looks good though, give it another 10 years and we will be printing our own boats depending on the river we will be paddling.

Re: Flood Tourism
Not going to paddle the Medway until it drops, those bridges look mighty close to the water in many places, the trees & debris in the river is astonishing, and the volume & speed of the water recently has been pretty impressive.
