Light, strong, flexible, working for the purpose, feels good when using and also not extremely expensive, if that's even possible. Here are some pictures from testing new canoe paddles, which you will here more, much more in upcoming future.

Great place for water sports enthusiasts in the heart of Scotland

Successfully completed BCU FSRT course, last Saturday has taken place at Taymouth Marina, Loch Tay (Pertshire). We have used it for the first time and can recommend this venue for any watersport enthusiasts. Centre is running various courses, using not only own staff members but also employing experts, e.g. us. There are really nice changing facilities, free and ample parking, accommodation and most importantly really good food! What else do you need before, during or after your water related event than a nice meal...

Right kit for right tasks

It is definitely easier when you can use top of the range kit for the right activity you are planning to undertake. But that means lots of storage space & money is needed if you have many interests, as we do. I would recommend to use company like ours, which can provide some if for you, when you taking up new hobby. This way you can try it before buying stuff. You can also discuss if you really, but really need it...

Preparations for delivering FSRT & Canoe Trad skills courses this weekend
