If you have been
considering making the move to winged paddles but not sure what to

expedition paddler I use wings a lot and get asked about them more
than anything else.
So here are the main 4

So while Mr T can't take all the blame (as much as I'd like to credit him with it) the current tariff of 25% on US manufactured canoes, kayaks, boats, yachts, etc... is imposed by the EU in response to his recent tariffs on European imports of Steel/Aluminium into the USA. I suppose initially they were proposed to try and get the US to back down and not impose any tariffs but, so far, Colmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12598325802751878565noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356358102193132589.post-79533343165596720352019-01-21T14:52:00.002+00:002019-01-21T14:52:34.909+00:00New in today from Peak UK

A drycag, a drypant and a drysuit...
Released to little fanfare, the new Gul Napa Drysuit is a really nice bit of kit.
Borrowing from the separable SwitchZip technology previously used solely on the Kokatat Idol Drysuit, this drysuit gives alternative options for wearing independently as a drycag and/or drypants.

The Shuna is Werners best selling high angle sea paddle and it is no wonder. The blade size is not to big but still has some bite. Built quality is as usual excellent from Werner and the paddles feel very robust but are still very light. In the water the catch is firm and the pull through the stroke is smooth with no flutter.
The shaft is split with Werners unique smart view David Horkanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03242545516091154114noreply@blogger.com0
