As an ex wild water racer who has used wings on whitewater since around 1990, I have developed a discipline in the way that I paddle and can use wings in a variety of situations (in fact I always use my wings - even when surfing). However, when I go paddling I'm not particularly focused on boat spee...

Another option is to mount a plate directly onto the existing pedals. To do this you have two options: a) Make the plate relatively small (approx 10 cm high is plenty) and do not bolt in place. This is to reduce the risk if you go past the footrest you can just pull it off with your foot. b) Make a ...

Now sold.

Yep the Scorpio is still available. We are around for the next few weekends so if you'd like to come and have a look that no problem.

I'll include a Palm Roanoke deck in good condition as well with the boat.

Views and sea trials welcome. South coast meets are not a problem and I will be attending the Sea Kayaking Cornwall symposium if that helps.

A post on the wwr website wildwater.org.uk would be a good idea as well.

sorry - this is an accidental duplicate post.

Another vote for WindGuru and the inshore forecasts.

Tides and basic stream information, I use Navionics on an iPad for planning and on the phone for on the hoof checks. A little pricey but a nice app to use.

Reed already have a solution that is very similar. Not a full split, but the entry is in the midriff. Not having any zip around the shoulders gives a nice amount of freedom around the shoulders. This is available as a standard option - but not one which is on the website. The instructor's and women'...

ok thanks for the heads up - I guess paddling kit will just go as a separate bag. Pre-prepared pipe lagging buffers seems a good idea, I guess the loaders will not be wanting to wait around for you to put foam in all the right places to stop abrasion and denting. Quick question - are the boats left ...

I'm off to the Scilly Isles in a couple of weeks, taking my boat. Just a quick question regarding boats on the Scillonian. What sort of protection do I need to take to prevent bumps and scrapes on the journey - some simple foam pads, or is this not necessary? Also will they allow simple lightweight ...

I would argue the major difference in the 3 is the improved lens, giving significantly less fisheye distortion. The ability to change the field of view is a key enhancement to how the device can be practically used (silver and black editions). I have an original GoPro 1 - and when I replace it I wil...

I'm pretty sure that's Spindleruv Mlyn where there are WWR and slalom competitions.

I'm visiting relatives this weekend in Troon (arriving Friday am, departing Sunday am), and was intending on doing a little paddling in the area. Is anyone planning on doing anything on Friday or Saturday that I could join? I'm a reasonably quick and competent (ex WWR) sea paddler, but I would under...

The New Forest Kayak and Canoe Club is a pretty friendly group based around the Solent area of the south coast.

http://www.westsystem.com/ss/problem-solving#not-cured unfortunately epoxy is a lot less tolerant than polyesters/vynlyesters of poor mix ratios. It's likely to be a removal and replace if still tacky after a good cure period. For mixing very small quantities a set of small scales are ideal to ensur...

membership@canoe-england.org.uk but probably easier to call them.

Thanks all. I've come to the conclusion that the 'right' to camp by the river is a herring rouge. I'll go with my previous option of booking sites.

Yep- I'm aware of the camping at the locks and there are numerous opportunities to 'wild camp', but I was particularly interested in the statements that have been made on the forum that indicate it's covered in the Thames license just to pitch up on the riverbank.

I'm planning on a trip down the Thames, and I'm looking at camping options (lock camping and wild camping). There have been posts on this forum indicating that the Thames license allows legal camping between the bank and the footpath. I've searched around the internet for any confirmation of this - ...

Having been in a vectra that had the roofrack bolted directly through the roof (standard design mountings with Thule bar kit), and had the entire roofrack rip off leaving 4 gaping holes in the roof, the rear windscreen punched out and the entire roofrack with boats in the outside lane of the M1 on a...

I believe ISO 12402-5 (50N) is the standard accreditation that most BA's we use will have been tested against. The next level up is 100N which is a significant amount of buoyancy. For example the largest (XXL) Peak adventure BA has 70N flotation.

It's not completely clear from the photo but it looks like a very light patch of abrasion. Just painting a little resin on the affected area should keep things protected. Give the area a little rub down with fine glasspaper to make sure there are no rough spots afterwards.

Thanks - good point re: seagulls. I'll get indoor parking then...

I'm heading over to the Scilly Isles in the summer. Can anyone recommend where to leave my vehicle?

I don't mind paying for a good secure location. Ideally not too far away as I will be taking boats as well.

Thanks.

There are a number of rivers that are particularly suitable for sea kayaks as you can run them clean without hitting the stern (same problem in WWR boats, but they are constructed to take the hit) and risking your skeg box. The Tay could be run on either the (tougher) Grantully section from Aberfeld...

I use a helmet mount (stuck on with a safety lanyard as backup). Although my primary use is for river paddling - it does give a much better viewpoint than a low deck mount and also allows picking up footage off to the side (the odd seal etc). You do need to try and keep your head pretty still as you...
