Our collaboration between Carl Zeiss lenses, pro kayaker Bren Orton and dewerstone has gone from strength over the last year. With Bren travelling the world and clocking up first descents, competition podiums and epic journeys to remote locations, we're more...
Dewerstone parties are those kind of parties that go on all night and simultaneously down in history. Those who have attended these previous happenings continue to recall stories of pool parties, loud music and enough alcohol to sink a ship. And the...
So a year's passed. And thanks to facebook, I know exactly what I was up to 365 days ago. Symonds Yat is an area of woodland on the banks of the river Wye in Gloucestershire. The name is centred around...
Lublin is a small city located in East Poland. And when I say small, I mean they-only-have-two-check-in-desks-at-the-airport small. Each year towards the end of July, the resident slackliners throw an all-out assault on the ancient city centre with approval from...
This river is one of the main reasons I came back to Norway this summer. I ran just one of the rapids on it last year, an enormous slide called Megatron that Finn Burrows and Nick Horwood found and claimed...
dewerstone is all about getting outside and going on adventures. It’s about getting out there and living life like you mean it, whether it's a weekend or a lifetime. Four years ago, we launched dewerstone with a bang, by driving...
Since Pyranha and ourselves launched the collaboration t shirt, I've been asked time and time again how the project came about and figured that whilst it's a pretty straightforward story, there's a nice message behind it and that it would...
I cannot believe its all over. Two months of travel, over 10,000 Miles driven, Im not even sure how many rivers paddled and waves surfed. More fast food stops than is probably healthy, lots of coffee and now I am...
The Stakeout continued in full swing last week as we brushed off our hangovers from the UNLEASHED after party with some Mistassibi laps on Sunday. We sent it with a big crew many of whom were running the river...
Chloe and I visited the Blue Lagoon in Pembrokeshire last week for a spot of camping and freediving. We try to go diving out in Mallorca at least once a year but the Blue Lagoon is the closest spot to practice and...
Truck Life Tour continues in Canada, and so does the UNLEASHED tour. We ended up having two full downtime days between stage 2 Boater-X and Stage 3. The extra layover day was due mainly to super high water across eastern...
So last update dropped on Tuesday but I finished writing it on Monday evening right after we completed UNLEASHED Stage 2, a Boater-X run on the Rouge river. I really wanted to add it in to Tuesday’s update but the...
This last week has been a rapid whirlwind of kayaking in the final build up toward stage one of the UNLEASHED competition. After the water level came down a little we were able to get back onto the Ruins wave in...
The Pacific North West has earned itself a reputation as one of the best destinations for kayaking in the world. Home to a diverse selection of rivers, slides and waterfalls, the area is a geographical paradise for all level of...
This week of truck Life Tour has been the most static of any week so far. But when I say static I mean we have slept in the same place all week, we have probably still clocked up another 500km...
Ok, here we are back on #TruckLifeTour proper, and now the focus of our tour shifts from hope boat training to big waves as we venture into one of my favourite zones, eastern Canada. My new home the Ottawa river...
Heading back toward Rock Island, TN, in driving rain was a mixture of both ominous worry (because of the previously mentioned leaking truck topper) and excitement. We were heading back because I had return a boat I had borrowed from...
I've always yearned to own a van. I can't remember exactly when I decided I wanted one, but the idea of buying one and converting it into a camper dayvan for all my adventures and projects has been a romantic fantasy...
Time spent in the Columbus whitewater park in Georgia, was super enjoyable but the weekend brought a release of a so called “South East Classic” the Cheoah river. So Brooke and I loaded up her #TruckLifeTour truck and rolled...
After a tiring weekend on the Nolichucky I was excited for another change of scene, and Stephen Wright suggested we join him down in the ‘dirty south’ of Columbus, Georgia where the USA National Championships will be held in April. ...
Shortly after arriving in Rock Island Brooke was offered the opportunity for us to go help Dane Jackson do a river clean up on the Nolichucky river. Jackson kayak had a few demo boats that needed driving out there...
