Dave Manby has been at the cutting edge of expedition kayaking for the best part of a quarter a century. In that time he has had more first descents and epic adventures than most paddlers have had swims, from his expedition experience on the Dudh Kosi in the 1976 to leading a trip for disabled paddlers on Turkey's Coruh river in 1993. Along the way he has met many of kayakings more colourful characters, and here he presents the stories - and rivers - that have defined their lives: Mick Hopkinsons account of big crocodiles and even bigger cataracts on the Blue Nile; Don Weedon's arrest after running the infamous whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls; Arlene Burns' epic struggle just to get to the put-in of Tibet's Bramaputra; and Dave's own intimate and personal battle with the Braldu in Pakistan, first with Mike Jones in 1978 and then on his own in 1983. For those who paddle, these stories provide not just inspiration, but confirmation of the spirit that is constantly pushing back the boundaries. To the uninitiated, each is as much an excellent adventure as an explanation of what drives paddlers.

I ordered a paddle that was not in stock, I-canoe ordered it from the warehouse and got it delivered to France. The whole process was super smooth quick and easy. Wicked ! quote

Colm and the Team have been providing me with my gear for over a decade of paddling. Always knowledgeable about the equipment they are selling. You'll get a quality service in person, online or over the phone. Top brands reflecting the quality of the equipment and their relationship with suppliers to ensure ready amounts of stock. I've had no quibble returns on equipment that I've bought that didn't fit and replaced with the size I should have asked for within the same week. A quality return service. In all the years only once had I a warranty return and that was handled speedily professionally and delivered back to my door within the time frame discussed with me. The store is an Aladdin's cave of goodies. A massive thanks to Colm and his team for years of quality service and knowledge, experience and expertise. I highly recommend for all your watersports needs quote
