If you look at the ICF equipment information sheet, you will see that the buoyancy aid changes won't be fully implemented until 2012. So long as your current buoyancy aid is CE approved and has buoyancy of 60N, it will be fine. Up until now, buoyancy aids have had to float 6kg when being tested at ...

I seem to have a slight excess of kit at the moment so thought I would bring it along to the Cardiff prem to sell. Below is a list of what I have: Sandiline extralight canadian combo (M), black cag, grey deck- £50 Sandiline splashdown canadian combo (M), blue/white cag, black deck- £50 Sandiline sp...

Whenever there is an event where entries are limited there is always going to be a selection policy. It makes perfect sense to offer these spaces to paddlers in order of GB Team selection results. As far as I can see the selection policy makes no reference to an "exclusion policy to those paddlers ...

Just trying to get the news out there as quickly as possible, unfortunately the Prem/1 this weekend in Llangollen has been cancelled due to low water levels. It has not been confirmed yet, but there is a possibility that the Prem (not the Div 1) could be moved to run alongside the British Open next...

Now I'm back in the country I am putting this boat back up for sale again. I had several emails from people wanting to try the boat, but as I was away it wasn't possible. If those people wanted to contact me again they are welcome to the test the boat out. If there is any new interest, don't hesita...

I have only used it for the past 2 weeks and feel that it is not right for me. It is a top construction boat worth 1750euro new. With the curren...

I have lots of old kit just clogging up my house at the moment so have decided to sell the stuff that is still in good nick. I will be at the course in Nottingham this weekend on both days, so just grab me if you want to check any of the stuff out (I won't have it all out on show). All kit is PEAKU...

I went along with a few other slalom paddlers. They said they would put the plans up on the BCU website. As for the actual meeting, it didn't really go that well. It seemed that most non slalom people were more interested in the fact that they hadn't been involved in the planning process from the s...

I hope I'm not going to get people up earlier than they need to be, but I'm pretty sure the racing starts at 8:00am and not 8:40am on Tuesday morning. If you want to double check, below is the link to the official start list (Beijing is 7hrs ahead of us): http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM....M210201

As far as I'm aware no date has actually been set for starting the work. People have been guessing that it will be in November because the peak rafting season finishes at the end of October. As for the designs, this is actually the first time I have seen it myself, but I have had rough explanations...
