Snowboating

As the famous saying goes, 'when life gives you lemons.. make lemonade'.

It's not often that we get a big dump of snow across the UK. This weekend Gareth decided to get out there and have some fun snowboating, another great use for your kayak!

Have a look at these crazy guys taking on some ski slopes in their kayaks!

Please make sure that you stay protected if you give this a go. Helmets, gloves and thick clothing are wise. Safety first!

Our group was greeted by a really crisp winter's morning. Beautiful scenery and perfect waves made for a fantastic day out on the water.

Sea Kayak Surf at Ogmore - Trecco Bay - P&H Aries 155

You can't keep Gareth away when there's a good bit of surf coming in. Check out how well the P&H Aries 155 handles on lovely rolling waves down Ogmore/Porthcawl.

Newton Beach - Sea Kayaks

This weekend, Gareth managed to find the time to paddle with a few fellow sea kayakers down at Newton beach, Porthcawl.

The group took out a few different boats to try, including; the P&H Cetus, Scorpio and Aries models, and the Wilderness Systems Zephyr.

Such a beautiful winter morning, perfect conditions for a nice coastal tour. After a couple of hours of paddling, the group headed to a local fish n' chip shop for a well deserved treat.

Dagger's New Look

Dagger's new design concepts are definitely worth keeping in mind for purchases in the new year.

With a unique design for both the new Dagger Jitsu play boat and the updated Dagger Mamba, the Contour Ergo outfitting has certainly got our attention with a spectacular look and more adjustable settings than previously seen.

One feature of interest on both the creek and play outfitting, is the leg lifter which allows you to raise your thighs more effectively, giving you much more contact with the kayak. A definite plus point.

Dagger Jitsu

The new Dagger Jitsu is sure to be seen a lot more in the next year, already becoming the play boat of choice for many freestyle paddlers. 

As for the Dagger Mamba, it has proven itself time and time again for many kayakers, and with the new Contour Ergo outfitting it is sure to become a firm favourite.
