Predator VX 360 Review Video - This is a video I made for Predator of their VX360 Action Headcam as an independent review. Have a look at the video. It went through some very tough testing conditions and performed flawlessy and always 100% dry. Any questions, shoot..

Witte River - May 2010 - Footage from the infamous Witte River in the Western Province of South Africa. I say the month May because one of our members bunked worked to hit it so let's not put a date to it :) Paddlers are me, Stefano Sessa, Peter Ridgyway, Ant Hoard, Abrie Swanepoel and Stephan. The river is steep and very continuous with loads of dangerous siphons and several undercuts. It is rated class 3 to 5: not for difficulty at these levels, but certainly if you head into the wrong spots the siphons are somewhat, terminal... At high to flood levels this river is insane..

Motorbike Fun - Testing the Predator VX360 action cam. It works... :) Oh, and the music is by Norwegian metal band Trollfest, and that short clip is called Trollkamp.

Palmiet 12 May 2010 - Palmiet River run, filmed with the Predator VX360 from my helmet. Nice level on the river, just over the Gates. Starring me, Stefano Sessa in the red Fluid Nemesis and Braam Rademeyer in the red Fluid Solo..

Dwars Creeking - 2009 Trip - Good times on the river! VERY low level but still good fun for sure! Not every rapid is runnable because it was so low, especially after the waterfall. This river is in the Western Cape province of South Africa, about 140km from Cape Town. The top section is steep and dangerous, then after the waterfall it becomes a bit easier but strainers become a problem..

The fourth morning arrived with one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen. For those few that were lucky enough to witness those five minutes of beauty it was well worth it. The photographs don’t even do it justice. The normal rigors of camp life rolled by in the way of boiling water for oats, drinking water, preparing more drinking water, packing up all the sleeping gear and stuffing everything back into the boats. It’s a good life.
The third morning was a chilly one. We had camped in the lee of a hill and there the sun wouldn’t have been able to rouse us for quite some time, so we had to get going without its warmth. April is encroaching on winter time in South Africa and mornings can have a bite in the air. It looked like another excellent day ahead.
