8/4/2014 - A Whitewater Paddler's Guide to Sea Kayaking
Desperate times call for desperate measures. It had been far too long since I'd been back in my boat, and my friend Phil (owner of Fluid Adventures) managed to persuade me to go sea kayaking for the first time ever, here's what happened...

11/3/2014 - National Student Rodeo 2014 - Heroes vs Villains
This March I was very lucky to be given the opportunity to go to my first National Student Rodeo (NSR) as part of the safety team. If you've never been to this event you have to go. It's the world's largest freestyle event (in terms of participation) and is the most carnage I have ever seen in one weekend - check out the full story here

30/11/2013 - The trip of a lifetime - Pucon, Chile 2013
The winter I jumped on a friend's trip to Chile as a late add-on.

Wet West Paddlefest 2013 - Fort William, Scotland
This September was my first ever Wet West Paddlefest. I was very excited as for me this was an event I had wanted to go to for a few years now, but hadn't been able to get to. It was also my first trip away with a new team, who had started planning a trip to Chile later this year, which, if I could get a job and time off in time, I was hoping to join them on. Here's what happened on my first ever Wet West Paddlefest, and what made me realise that this was a team I was excited to be a part of.
