When you head out on a paddling trip, there are a few things that can go wrong and accidents should never be left to chance. For example, your buddy could cut themselves after a clumsy fall or a friend could run into a group of angry wasps. That’s without mentioning the fact that first aid kit supplies tend to dwindle and are often forgotten about. So, whether you’re a guide or simply someone who’s heading out for the weekend it’s important that your paddling first aid kit is stocked and ready to go.

Whether battling the elements at sea or gliding across a mill pond, a kayak can be adjusted to suit your every need. Customised, bespoke, tailor-made, personalised, specialised are all words that we can apply to kayaks and kayaking equipment and like with most activities it is essential to equip yourself with the right tools for the task.
So, once you have researched and found the perfect kayak for you, be it a laid back leisure kayak like the Galaxy Blaze, a super sleek Sea Kayak such as the Galaxy Eskimo 17, or a long haul fishing kayak similar to the sturdy and steadfast Galaxy Alboran, it is time to look at what accessories are available for it, and how your basic kayak can be adapted to suit the specific needs of you, the kayaker and the specific needs of the day.

And then, out of the blue, there’s a slight daunting feeling starting to creep in, a feeling that you can’t quite put your finger on, and you ask yourself how can such fond memories cause such a sinking feeling to seep in? And then it hits you, it hits you hard and smacks you, “Shit, I’m totally out of shape!”.

Our world is under threat, we have helped create this threat and unless we act against it we are all going to suffer. It is as simple as that.
It is our duty to take responsibility for the impact we as individuals, businesses, a species, have on the environment and not imagine that the proverbial “they” will take care of it. Realize that we ARE “them” and start acting.
