Part two of our visit to Lyon, France.

Going forward we're changing how we do the podcast, we'll be more ad hoc so make sure you're subscribed!

We're back!

It's been a while since we too a "couple of weeks" break back in 2020 but we're here now. 

In this episode we've been off too Lyon, France to visit the Paddlesports Show 2022 to chat with the retailers to see what's coming in 2023 and their thoughts on the paddling landscape post Covid.

Don't forget to tune in on Monday for part two.

We've made it to 20! 

It's another Grant & Moose special, where we chat about out top 5 magical/memorable paddling moments. 

Why not let us know yours on the PaddleMore Community Facebook page!   

This week we chatted to Fi and James Corfe. These two picked up paddling and ran with it! From their beginnings around the Isle of Man, to circumnavigation of both islands of New Zealand and now rounding Cape Horn, they've been pushing their boundaries as far as possible. 

Lovers of type two fun, Fi and James are always looking for new expeditions and to explore new places. They're willing to endure all the hardships that the environment can throw at them in order to experience moments of bliss in places seldom visited by human beings!

This week on the podcast, we chatted with Jamie and Kyle, two young, up and coming white water kayakers. The two lads have both had their plans upturned and their lives changed by the pandemic and we chatted about how this has changed their view on paddling both personally and professionally.

Kyle is @kr.kylerodger on instagram, and https://youtube.com/channel/UCM-j_0k8tvFE18ufycxCCsQ for his youtube channel.

This week we're chatting with Sammy and Daniel, two of Kenya's canoe slalom team.

They were recently out in Spain competing in the African qualifiers for Tokyo Olympics and are both keen paddlers of white water and slalom. We chatted Spain, cold water, covid, learning to paddle and their developmental aspirations for the local community. 

Growing up on the banks of the river Tana, Sammy and Daniel have spent their lives in and around the water. They want to keep sharing their love of white water and inspire a new generation to take up running rivers and chasing sticks.

For this week, we thought that seeing as lock down in the UK is starting to wind up we thought it might be nice to share with you all some of the providers from around the UK. This is a great list of varied, though mainly Scottish, paddling providers, all of who will offer you a slightly different, but awesome experience.

This isn't and extensive list there's loads more out there this is just the folks that got back to us.
