Team Palm at Valsesia River Festival

With the new range of whitewater gear arriving this spring we were keen to get all the team together and go for a boat.

Gene17′s Valesesia River Festival in Italy seemed like the perfect opportunity. After a long night’s drive on Wednesday night we arrived to the perfect combo of sun, great coffee and absolutely outstanding whitewater! Valsesia is a true whitewater paddlers’ paradise and if you haven’t been yet you’ve got to put it on the list.

We’ll post a full report when we get back but stay tuned for Finn Burrows’ video rundown coming later tonight.

In the meantime, check out these shots from this afternoon’s Egua Freeride Session!

Many, many more pics on the Palm Facebook page.

Massive thanks to Simon Westgarth and Gene17 for putting on a top notch event and everyone who’s come along. We’re looking forward to the party later!

 

The Next Generation of Gear for Paddlers: As Introduced by Team Palm

The new 2011 Palm paddle jackets have arrived at your local Palm Equipment dealer! With over 2 years development, team testing and refinement they’re our most technically advanced jackets yet.

The Palm Team have been itching to get their hands on the final production jackets for a while now. And, when the first shipment arrived earlier this month who were we to argue!

Firstly, we downed tools and joined Cardiff based Palm Paddler Rosie Cripps at Cardiff International Whitewater Course. It was a great chance to paddle together and see what she makes of the new Palm Aqua jacket:

The next day it was off to west Wales to make full use of the spring tides at the awe-inspiring Bitches tidal race. Joining us on the top wave, and sporting brand new Atom jackets, were Palm paddlers Finn Burrows and Nick Horwood. Check out the video below:
