Celebrating Rivers on National Hunting and Fishing Day American Rivers - Healthy rivers play a vital part to celebrating National Hunting and Fishing Day. There's an old saying, "You can't catch fish in a dry pond." This holiday for me is all about fishing. And like two tributaries that come together to make a bigger river, my love of rivers is completely mixed together with my love of fishing. Learning New Freestyle Tricks Jackson Kayak - Learning a new freestyle tricks takes time. Lots of time. You will crash. Lots. Clay Wright (inventor of the loop) once told me that it takes around 2,000 attempts of a new trick before you get it even close to consistent. This past summer I spent loads of time working on new tricks. Crushing it in Turquoise NRS Duct Tape Diaries - The Crush shoe arrived on my doorstep this spring and happened to be the best shade of bright blue.

Tarifa SUP International - Tarifa is a renowned spot for both the practising wind sports and the insomnious celebrations thereof, but the potential of Andalusia is unrecognized for stand up paddling. Running the Ribble Valley Will Herman - After spending so many years so close to this part of the world, the only surprise is that I haven't spent more time here before now. A Western Flow Bote - Flowing from Wyoming to Colorado, the Green River is a 730-mile winding watershed in the middle of the Western wilderness. White water rapids and ripping winds are not uncommon on the Green, making your watercraft one of your most important pieces of gear. Eager to test out BOTE's inflatables in some challenging conditions, our Creative Director, Rob McAbee, and some of the BOTE team got together to conjure up the ultimate river trip. Stand Up Paddle Adventure Around The Arctic Circle SUP Connect - Antonio de la Rosa recently returned from an expedition in the Artic Circle that lasted 26 days, 14 hours, 27 minutes and 30 seconds. The adventure was life changing for Antonio and he has photos to prove it. GoPro: Introducing HERO5 Black unsponsored - We have one of the first GoPro Hero5 cameras on its way to Unsponsored HQ. Is this camera going to be a game changer or just another incremental improvement?

We were invited to get up close and personal with these apex predators at our friend's alligator farm located in the heart of Florida's swampland. Paddle boards and alligator's? We're in. SUP Club Championships Results British SUP Association - The British SUP Club Championships now in it's 4th year was the biggest yet. 11 clubs and 190 competitors hit the waters of Bray Lake to compete in everything from a 6km distance race, technical races, Novice racing as well as sprints and team events to see who would come out as the UK's top club. It was hard fort battle between all the clubs with a fantastic atmosphere and some great camaraderie. BaySUP managed to win the Overall, beating the hosts Bray Lake into Second and holders Waterborn into third. My Review of the Solstice Bali supboardguide.com - I am not usually prone to hyperbole, but readers of SUPBoardGuide.com would know that there is something of a chemistry between me and the Solstice Bali. This Whitewater Highlights Reel from Team Badfish Is Totally Badass SUPracer - With everything from big whitewater runs to river surfing to sliding down a glacier, and featuring the likes of whitewater SUP pioneer Spencer Lacy and river surfer Brittany Parker, if this two and a half minutes of footage doesn't inspire you to head for the mountains and go paddling, I don't know what will.
