Spean Team | Scotland 🏴 | Oct 24
A big thank you to the team for making my first descent down Spean Gorge both memorable and safe one.
I’ll admit, I was a wee bit apprehensive after reading various river guidebooks, social media posts, and forums that all hinted at how challenging this water could and would be.
However, by observing and learning from some top whitewater SUP paddlers, as well as nailing my swimming skills (which I definitely, definitely needed!), I gained invaluable knowledge.
One of the aspects I love most about SUP is the endless opportunity for growth. There are always new challenges to step up to, skills to hone, and inspiration to be found…..thank you guys, especially louise.royle.paddler and jessphip

This past Aug/Sept I returned to East Greenland and the village of Kulusuk.
In Sept, wildsidelandscapedesigns arrived and we did a multi day Stand Up Paddle Expedition. Due to the remote nature, We both experienced the deepest feeling of wildness in our years of adventure travel.
Here is a short visual with much more coming out in the Winter Edition of sessionthemag , on shelves sometime in December.
Much Gratitude to: pirhuk for sharing knowledge of East Greenland.
The people of Kulusuk.

À la fin de l'automne, j'ai profité des dernières couleurs pour aller en nature avec north_isle_photography
J'avais comme mission de photographier mon nouveau drysuit et mon sac étanche de mustangsurvival qui me permettront d'aller sur l'eau plus longtemps durant l'année et avoir plus d'opportunités photos
Si ça ne se ressent pas à travers les photos, l'eau était glaciale et j'étais très heureux d'avoir mon drysuit pour me tenir au chaud 🥶
Merci à north_isle_photography pour les photos de moi dans l'eau

What You Need to Paddle in the Cold 🥶
❄️Winter paddling is a unique and rewarding experience, but it requires a lot more gear and careful preparation.
Here’s what you need to know before heading out:
🧤Gear Up:
Gear is the reason you can paddle in cold weather. While it can be an investment, it’s essential for safety and comfort. I prefer a drysuit for its versatility as it allows for layering and keeps you dry. Don’t forget neoprene gloves, boots, a foam vest PFD, and a warm hat!
🧭 Plan Ahead:
Cold-weather paddling requires more preparation. Icy conditions can complicate everything from packing to launching, so leave extra time for set-up, always check your gear before heading out, and head out with a pal or tell someone your plan.
📋 Risk Management:
This isn’t the season for beginners. Winter paddling comes with increased risks, so preparing for all situations is crucial. Always paddle within your limits and have a safety plan in place.
💧Know Your Waters:
Open water can be hard to find in winter. Large lakes or windy areas are more likely to stay ice-free, but those conditions can also make paddling tricky.
⏰ Be Patient and Flexible:
Winter paddling requires waiting for the right moment. A calm, clear day is a rarity, but it’s worth it. Keep in mind, that your outing might be short; even 30 minutes can be an adventure.
💙Winter paddling isn’t easy, but the solitude, crisp air, and stunning ice landscapes make it one-of-a-kind.
Have you tried winter paddling?

“There are old climbers and bold climbers, but no old bold climbers”
Timothy Egan
.
I was drawn to the overhanging prow on the right. Imagine climbing up that, the underside of the prow. Deep water iceberg soloing, but like proper climbing DWS style where the chance of falling is potentially higher than getting to the top.
.
This idea took me back to some of the first days DWS in Mallorca with neil.gresham, Klem Loskott and all the others who were there too. Wondering what it would be like to launch a dyno 40ft above the water on what turned out to be “Loscott and two Smoking Barrels” F8a+. In those days nobody had ever done that before so we didn’t know what was going happen.
.
I had similar thoughts looking at this iceberg. As far as I knew no one had ever tried to climb anything like this before. I was excited by the prospect, but this was fundamentally different. This was not rock but ice, constantly moving and changing, and sometimes breaking.
.
Surely it was so large it would stay intact. Maybe I’d get pumped and fall leaving a tool as a memoir lodged into the berg.
.
My gut was luring me on, like any pioneer, to go for it and find out. Processing all the things that might happen and my plan if it does?
The one thought that stopped me in my tracks was this one.
“What happens if a large block of ice you’re climbing on detaches from the berg. We’re both in the air, I hit the water first and slow down then the ice lands in top of me. “
Game over Mr Emmett!
.
“Let’s get out of here Tim” I thought. It was just before midnight and time to go to bed! Fortunately we had an early flight the next day so I wouldn’t get another chance to rethink my options! 😉
.
I’ll be talking about this trip and many others in Squamish next week on 7th July at Valhalla Pure at 8pm. (Ticket link in bio)
.
Thanks for capturing this unique moment brianhockenstein and sharing it luca.freediver

Was it as cold as it looks? Mmmm no, it was so much colder! Luckily we had a nice long hike out with heavy packs to warm us back up! Wondering what goes into my pack for a shoot at an alpine lake with 24km of distance covered and 1,100m elevation gain? It’s a long one, lolo.

mustangsurvival just launched their amazing women’s line 😍! I’m so impressed by the design and fit of the women’s helix dry suit and can’t wait for some ocean seasons to open so I can really get back out to my natural habitat. Go to the link in my bio for a great read about the badass women behind the scenes! 🙌 Loved this from Vanessa Fors, “It is important to grow [marine sports] and women’s participation in them. Let's go back 20-25 years and look at the snowboarding industry as an example. In the mid nineties there were only a couple women's snowboard clothing brands. By the 2000's, Roxy, Nikita and Burton recognized the potential. Until then, women were reluctant to pick up the sport because there wasn't anything for them to wear. Nothing says ‘You don't belong here’ than a whole section of men's clothing options.” I can’t tell you how stoked I am about this line of marine technical wear that was designed for women by women!
I shared a few from my days spent with brucekirkby and his SUP here in Interior BC and now here’s a few more. If you dig the SUP, be sure to follow brucekirkby starboardsup astralfootwear and mustangsurvival ~ for expert advice and more photos from nicoleleclairphotography and these wintry sessions. 📷🙂❄️

Trying not to get emotional 😭 so unbelievably stoked to be here and heading back up north! Home here I come! 20,000 miles down, 7,000 more to go!!
Step one of this adventure was to get to Lake Louise in time for sunrise. Step two involved convincing myself that getting into my raft and paddling to the end of the lake would be a fun and hopefully comfortable experience! All the paddling along with layering my eddiebauer down onesie under my dry suit made for a pretty cosy adventure indeed, even at -10°C! If you’ve got your own set up and want to paddle in Canmore one day after a fresh snowfall message me - it’s something I’ve always wanted to do!

When it comes to staying safe in, on and around cold water...are you really prepared? It’s the season of frigid temperatures - and the time to step up your cold water safety.

A year of using and abusing my mustangsurvival kit and it not letting me down! Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer paddling in all conditions for work, personally and coastal exploring. On to another year with more training courses and coaching on the horizon with more environments to keep putting it to the test.

It’s that time of year again- the annual ‘Yacht Racing Image of The Year’. I have submitted this image which for me is the most relevant sailing moment of 2024 which saw Cole Brauer complete her circumnavigation of the world becoming the first American Women to race solo, non stop, around the world in her class40. This shot was taken at the finish and I hope conveys the energy of her achieving this world first! The image is pitched against 79 other photographers and every vote counts for the image to continue forward to the next stage of the competition. Please vote and thank you!

Swipe to see the seal! Photos from a couple days ago put sup surfing. Really fun small clean waves to mess around on and some longer rides too!!
Photo 6 was basically me turning back going there's a flippin seal 🤣 Unfortunately the light started to fade as I went in late afternoon till dusk but teylaaa got a pic of me and the seal and braved the cold for some pics.
I decided to wear my drysuit instead of a wetsuit which isn't usual for surfing typically. As I'm sup surfing and it wasn't on a big hectic day, I spent more time on my board than in the water and the drysuit helped the wind chill massively after a dunking and getting back on the board. mustangsurvival
drysuit feels as bombproof as ever!

East Greenland.
By Sup- exploring the fjords and islands around Qeertartivatisaq, with the final daunting crossing of the Sermilik Fjord.
Navigating giant icebergs, the path often appearing impassible. Absolutely the most incredible feeling passing through this landscape.
The Sup offered just that little bit of extra advantage to choose the safest route.
Much more to come on this trip!
Much Gratitude.

Hey Clam Diggers 🐚
Had a blast this weekend on our annual clam digging adventure!
Yes, you are covered in sand. Yes, you are tired from working in the sand. But nothing beats, camping with friends, playing in the ocean and enjoying a fresh clam chowder bowl at the end of the day.

Talking to realwillgadd during our fundraiser event reminded me of the immense similarities between our two sports: FREEDIVING & ICE CLIMBING 🧜♂️ 🧗
These two “extreme sports” have a lot in common: mental training & control or breath. You lose your shit up there, or down there, and you’re done. 🧠

My favourite mental training 🧠
.
Adventuring with other top level athletes like timemmett mattmaddaloni & Jimmy M. is by far my favourite kind of “cross-training”. Why?
.
It builds mental toughness, resilience. Here I’m photographing us about to head off on a mission across the Howe Sound during an Arctic outflow, freezing wind and water temps. We’re on a mission to find frozen waterfalls to climb at sea level and freedive in the crystal waters below. Stay tuned for more. 😏

Winter paddling is definitely now in full swing! It's not all bad though I love crisp mornings when the weather behaves.
I will be using my drysuit with layers underneath as we get deeper into winter and then wearing a 5/4 winter wetsuit for when I'm out surfing. Winter paddling is brilliant but always go under the assumption you could end up in the water and wear the appropriate gear be that a winter wetsuit, drysuit or numerous different layers with splash top! Top tip in winter take a drybag and pack a warm layer, quickdry towel and a wooly hat in the bag.

Been out on the water so much the past month. Been so good to go personally paddling it's something that you don't always get to do as much as you'd like as an instructor.
Something else that happened this month is I've become a UK ambassador for mustangsurvival .With the weather changing so often I've been wearing my drysuit far more than I should of been, I've also been taking my Callan Waterproof everywhere just incase it decides to rain which has come in clutch.
Mustang Survival are a Canadian company that has been making water safety gear for over 50 years. Gear goes through rigorous testing at the HQ within the country. About 2 years ago they entered the UK market and brought this exceptional quality with them.
As it goes into Autumn I will be getting out on the water lots more and in winter I will be hopefully taking some more watersports courses so will be testing and having to rely on my kit even more as the cold sets in.
Will showcase more individually in the future but these are just a few photos from my adventures with teylaaa over the past month.

mustangsurvival Hudson Drysuit, great protection for winter paddles on our wild coastlines. I will wear this suit when the temperatures drop below zero on the coast as it allows me to layer up underneath. This is also my go to drysuit for any coastal river training we do.

The first sea to table harvest of the year was a nice little winter variety of dungeness crab, red rock crab, and rock crab! Crabs weren’t the only harvest that day and I’m proud to say we successfully completed a full mission and a half… minus lunch on the beach, unfortunately! Went on quite the adventure with badashoutdoors and I can’t wait for you to see the video of our day! Speaking of awesome badash videos… have you seen her latest huge chinook salmon one from my belated birthday celebration in October?! Great fish, great company, and great times filled with fun and silliness! Go to badashoutdoors YouTube to see and let me know if you had as much fun as I did watching!! And last but not least, me, unforgettable_virginia and badashoutdoors will be on a women’s panel in the kayak fishing theatre at ISE in Sacramento this Sunday at 2pm! Stop by, say hi, and win great prizes!! Can’t wait to see you there! #oldtownsportsman #adventureliceshere #anyfishanywater #livebeyondland #seewhatsoutthere #bestofthebest 📸 nick_chatelain

Broughton Archipelago Expedition - I couldn’t have asked for two better trips to this incredible area and traditional land of the Kwak’wakawakw. With fully loaded boards and inspiration from past clients to set up an expedition here, we had two 4 night 5 day experiences and it was more than I could ask for. Spectacular weather, two amazing groups to spend time with on the water, ancient village and harvesting sites, and lots of whales and wildlife. Really can’t wait to get back here for 2022. Big thanks to captwillson for the shuttles and to alanakai8 and brucekirkby for the support. And thanks to my clients/friends for time well spent in the wild. mustangsurvival sunova.sup blackfish_paddles #livebeyondland #normhannexpeditions telegraphcovemarina
