Never Say Nevis Again...
Steve Rogers from bread and butter contacted us about hosting his classic movie.
The film features the late and great Andy Jackson who was sadly lost shortly after the making of this film. Andy was without question the most influential figure to ever emerge from the Scottish creek boating scene with over 150 first descents to his name within Scotland alone. Andy was the driving force behind this film and without his help it would never have happened. Long live the memory :-)
The film is 10 minutes in length, so please be patient!

Sticking with HnM
We finally got around to issuing the team paddlers with stickers and set them a challenge to be the first to get us pictures of them "stickered up" and in action.
Tim Aldridge was first to respond although he did cheat. Here's a picture of his helmet with a HnM sticker on it and here's his Mafia. and here are a couple of pictures of him in action (before he got the stickers)!:
Tim on Fairy Glenn (Kev Griffiths also pictured).

Team HnM interviews & customer feedback
We decided to do a sort of review of our first year in business but decided that it would be more interesting if we did it through the eyes of our team paddlers. So here are the first few interviews:
Dan Heyworth
Tim Aldridge
Darren Kirk
Darren "D" Broderick's interview should be on-line soon!Also...
We'd pretty much forgotten about our customer feedback page. That was until we received some feedback from a UK paddler who was very pleased with his DragoRossi Fish. Any other customers that would like to have their say should e-mail info@highnmighty.co.uk

New movie, new server & web-shop updates
Have you seen Corran's latest web movie? It is a little controversial but it is great to see better and better footage of the Squashtail as people (including Corran) are learning how to get the most from it.
The DragoRossi Squashtail continues to be a favourite with all of the the team paddlers.
For us, the big news is that our site has been migrated to the DELIMITS servers as part of our plan to make major updates to the site with the possibility to buy ex-demo products and other stuff on-line. That functionality should appear later in the year.
We will continue to fully support our network of dealers and will not be selling our core products on line with the exception of ex-demo products. Our extensive demo fleet, which is spread across the country, means that dealers do not have to stock every model as a demo boat although some of them do anyway.
Following on from our trip to the Dusseldorf boat show, we should have some more exciting product news to announce very soon!

DragoRossi Stinger revisited
Of all the boats from DragoRossi, it has been the Fish, Squashtail and Mafia that have received the most attention while the Stinger and Pintail have been somewhat overlooked by many. Recently however, there has been renewed interest in these two boats, particularly the Stinger which Corran has described as his reworking of the Disco style of boat. A boat that was the inspiration for many of the short "spud" style of boats that have become so popular with today's paddlers.
In response to all the interest Corran has revisited a page that he created on his site some time back. Check out the Stinger in action here.

DragoRossi outfitting explained
Recently we've had quite a few enquiries asking about the way the outfitting works, it's benefits over other manufacturers systems and it's removability (for those who prefer to go for a more traditional system).
The DR system is intended to be a cross between a thigh brace and a lap belt. The concept, is that rather than using pressure to keep you in your kayak (super tight) you use its shape and location to literally HOLD you into your seat.
The thighbraces swivel so that they can be located just about anywhere on the thigh, have three forward-back adjustments, and then tilt swivel also... This allows them to adjusted to almost angle and position possible, all the while holding you down and in the boat (without impeding your exit).
And for the odd person who doesn't like it - the system can be removed / reinstalled in just a couple of minutes! ;-)
Click here for a complete description of the system.

Mafia movie from the archives of CJ & CM
We've just posted a brief (34 seconds only) Mafia creeking movie that was put together from some old archive clips filmed by our pals Chris Jones and Chris MacMurray.
The reason for the delay in posting is that we've only recently acquired the software to convert the original footage into a usable format.
