Since mid last year there have been snippets of information regarding Palm Equipment’s all new range of whitewater gear. Earlier this month, the goods began arriving in Europe and already a huge amount of people are wearing it. Why? Well it looks pretty sweet, and it seems to work well. Above is Palm’s promo for the NEW 2011 men’s Atom jacket. And below is the promo for the Women’s 2011 range, featuring the all new Aqua drytop.

Awesome!

Just came across this sick edit of the Ruins Wave, Canada. Check out the Pan-am to Helix at the end!

VA2OR is a new french brand of carbon helmets. The name of the brand “VA2OR” means in phonetic french “Go outside” because their philosophy is not to stay at home to watch TV or play video games but to enjoy the outdoors.

Their new helmet, the Kip Carbone, features a carbon fibre shell that can be custom painted and some cool memory foam pads. Check out there site here!

A sick edit from Ben Brown. The Wainui river New Zealand showcased here at high flows, some massive drops, clean lines and not so clean lines – all set to some classic dubstep. Awesome.
