Favourite
canoe/kayak/SUP of all time: This
is a tough one, back in the day when i was trying to make one boat do
everything then I was a big fan of the Prozone. Im also very
impressed with the Wavesport Recon but will need to see how it
performs on some steeper rivers before I can make a final decision on
its ranking!
Most
useful piece of equipment owned (why?): Watershed drybag(s!), well designed, durable and very, very dry. I should have bought one much sooner.
A
piece of equipment on the wish list (why?):
HF syntec throwbag. I am a big believer in having versatile equipment
that can be used for a wide range of applications. The HF syntec
ticks that box.
An
item of clothing on the wish list (why?):
Kokotat Goretex drysuite. Kokotat have an immense reputation for
products and service, I cant wait to find out what all the fuss is
about!
Favorite
type of paddling:
Creeking in the sunshine with good friends.
Favourite
paddling location:
This is a tough one and it depends on which boat I am in!! I've had
some class times on the Zambezi for big volume. Italy has also become
a regular trip due to the reliability and quality of the water, ease
of access and pizza!
Best
paddling experience:
10 week trip to Nepal, we got well and truly off the beaten track
with some remote wilderness, amazing Himalayan scenery and world
class white water. There were some great multi-day trips camping out
of our riverboats and we spent many a night camping on unspoilt
riverbanks eating strange Asian food.
Future
trips on the wish list:
Italy ASAP & Grand Canyon in December. I would also love to see
some more of South America at some point this is more of a
longer-term project.
Current
paddle wagon:
Vauxhall Vivaro LWB
A
song/artist/album which gets you motivated for a paddle:
Sell Out by Reel Big Fish
Favourite
thing to buy from Greggs:
Fajita chicken slice & Patisserie doughnut.
