    Paddlesports (Kayaking, Canoe, Stand-Up Paddle boards)

    That's not a bad pace! My biggest jump in performance was going to a smaller paddle and upping cadence. I had a 92 sq inch and went to 83. I found the bigger paddle like being stuck in a big gear on a bike, especially paddling into the wind! With the smaller paddle when the wind kicks up I...

    Paddlesports (Kayaking, Canoe, Stand-Up Paddle boards)

    I try and go at a decent pace and keep my technique as good as I can with a clean catch and as little splash as possible, I have done intervals and they do make me blow. I'm very new to racing so am improving, my first 5k took me 50 mins and I'm down at about 40ish depending on wind. The two...

    Oddly I don't feel anything in my quads on my training/longer runs (I do bend my legs on every stroke) it's my lower back that really feels it. Maybe I'm reaching too far? I've entered the ice breaker races at bray lakes, first race next weekend so I'll let you know what aches after a hard 6k :p

    Sounds like good advice, i could probably do with attending one of the technique workshops.

    Paddlesports (Kayaking, Canoe, Stand-Up Paddle boards)

    Did my first ever sup event Sunday a SUPAthlon at Dintons activity centre, I did the sup and a friend did the run. There was a mix of people competing. We were in the team event so went of last so had to get past lots of slower paddlers ( which was a challenge at the turns) We came in 2nd in...

    I picked up a vaikobi vcold flex top this year and it's amazingly warm! I'll be picking up the legs when it gets s bit colder, like you I want to keep paddling all through the winter.

    Nice video, the paddlepoints app is a good place to start. Also the paddle board Facebook groups will give you some local put in spots if you ask.

    I changed my mind on the starboard as most the friends i paddle with have all got 14' hardboards. The blackfish is bit overkill for touring but it paddles like a tourer and even at 24" wide is super stable.

    Picked up a new board (Infinity Blackfish) after lockdown with the hope of doing some races with friends but most have been cancelled. Got a small SUPAthlon I'm entered in on Sunday which hasn't been cancelled yet I've been out most weeks but really wanted to enter some events this year

    He will be, he's going self employed very soon, and this will be his work station, I'll speak to him about the budget. He's really talented and I want to give him the best start I can.

    Work pc for rendering

    Hi A friend of mine who builds TV sets and models etc has decided to go freelance. He’s asked me to put together a pc for him, his bread and butter program is rhino 6. Now I’m taking it he’s going to need as many cores CPU wise as possible so ryzen seems favourite, it’s the GPU I’m not sure...

    There had been no update, just worked one day and not the next. I have now enabled Beta, the software has updated to 14.1 and I'm waiting for the quest to update. If that doesn't work i'll try another cable?
