Wacky Racing!

So you want to be a sponsored paddler???
Here's an article on the subject of sponsorship by our new boy Darren Kirk
November 26, 2005
Several news snippets for you
The BIG news is that Corran's new film about kayak surfing the Pororoca Bore is now completed and should be in the dealers by Christmas. Be warned that the first pre-Christmas run will be limited in number so get on to your dealer right away or e-mail us for the latest information on UK availability.
A number of new movie clips (including previews of the Pororoca DVD) have been added to the movies page.
There are a couple of articles by Darren Kirk on the TWP site. The first is about his first time in the DragoRossi Fish at Boulters Weir while the second is a report of his recent trip to Stanley Embankment as featured in his recent movie clip.
The Double 2 D boys are on the road all over the North so keep an eye out for them!
November 19, 2005
More movies!
Darren Kirk sent us a link to a new movie that he's just made. It features him "spinning to win" in the DR Fish on the little wave at Stanley Embankment and features music by Sum Of Nothing.
Also we have added a link to a movie of a couple of "average joe" Dutch paddlers having fun in some ocean surf.
Go to the movies page and check them out.

Couple of news items...
A brief article about a trip using Eskimo kayaks in Panama.
Here's a couple of nice images of US DragoRossi rep John Webb running a big drop in his Mafia.
November 16, 2005
If a picture paints a thousand words...
It's a bloody good job because Tim didn't send us any words. All we have are these really great images of him and his friends in action in their DragoRossi Mafia(s).
Taking a leaf out of Tim's book, Glenn decided we should post some images of some BIG surf action and that we too should let the pictures speak for themselves.
Gradually the word is spreading about the amazing performance of Corran's latest designs. The Pintail has certainly been a pleasant surprise since not only is it forgiving and easy to roll but it really performs well in the surf. A great all-rounder.
If you want to see a movie of the Pintail in action on a river wave go here.

BIG Surf & other news...
When the going gets tough, the tough get going! Glenn and our little squirtboater come surfer (Jamie Austen) are this months poster boys. In case you'all wondered that clanking sound is the sound of the mighty gauntlet landing at your feet! ;-)
Check out the gallery for some new wallpaper! A movie is in the making!
Brief article on the NEW Eskimo Salto in Albania...
Images of the prototype DragoRossi Critical Mass next to the Mafia.
SPANK THE WEB MONKEY!!!! We appear to have lost the links to a couple of recent news items so here they are again....
Those Double 2D boys are on the road again (up North), promoting our products at every opportunity. Looks like they had a great time at the Tyne Tour. Why not say hello if you see them in your neck of the woods. They always have a stash of toys to play with.
Our new boy Darren Kirk recently made a short movie of him in action in his LiquidLogic Vison at Nene. While we don't normally post movies that exclusively feature other manufacturers boats the soundtrack of this one is provided by our friends Sum Of Nothing so do check it out (10.5MB WMV format).
November 11, 2005
Dutch road trip movie & other movie updates
A movie of some Dutch paddlers on a road trip has been added to our list of movies. Thanks go to Rocky and the other cool Dutch guys that frequent the DragoRossi Message board.
Also we've been raiding Corran Addison's webserver and have several new links to his latest movies plus a link to a 7MB utility that will allow PC users to view the latest Quicktime format movies. How cool is that?
November 07, 2005
Surf's up!
We asked our new boy, Darren Kirk, to pick up one of our demo Squashtails from KayakoJacko and he thought he was man enough to handle it. He checked out the surf and thought to himself "I'm the man"! He found a friend to film him in action and then hit the beach. The boy did good but he forgot one small thing. Those ocean waves weren't like the little standing river waves that he's used to and the Squashtail isn't a nice a friendly hole boat, it's a demon with a sting in it's tail. A pocket rocket with racing stripes, quad fins boxes and a hull that is optimised for speed!
So who won??? Well, let's just say that the only footage that survived was that of Darren getting trashed! hehehe.... ;-)

New Topo-Duo arrives
A few new updates to the website have gone unannounced. We've tried to make it easier to find and download our movies and trailers. We've also started to build up an on-line shop. We won't be selling new kayaks, paddles or softwear direct however we want to make it easier for people to find out about ex-demo products and other deals that we offer.
BUT the big news is that the brand new Top-Duo's have now arrived in the UK.
July 15, 2005
New Topo-Duo arrival is imminent!
Eskimo kayaks have just posted some images of the brand new Topo-Duo on their website. We ordered a large stock of these to meet the anticipated UK demand but not that we've seen the boat we think we'll need to increase the size of the order. For 2005 the Topo-Duo is amazing value at just £749. Look out for it at your dealer soon.
July 14, 2005
New web-movies page on-line
A feature of our site that we intend to heavily develop is the ability to easily download movies in formats that are viewable to as many people as possible and in sizes to suit broadband users and those with slower technology. The first step was to create a catalogue of the movies that we have and make that available.

Boatercross update…
We were seriously impressed to hear that former Liquid Life title holder, Bridget Thomas, absolutely flew ahead of the competition to win the ladies event in an Eskimo Salto. We contacted her to congratulate her and she sent us some pictures of the Salto in action. Check out new images in the gallery.
Bridget auctioned off her event prize (a holiday in Turkey) in aid of the Andy Jackson access fund and children's hospital.
Also Tim Aldridge sent us a report of his experiences at the Liquid Life event in the Mafia.

Congratulations to Tim Aldridge!
Back in January Tim approached us about a possible sponsorship deal. We had a slightly used red Mafia that had been used for a magazine review kicking around and so we offered him a chance to prove himself. Less than six months later Tim came good by convincingly winning the Junior category of the Liquid Life boater cross event.

Congratulations "D"!
Belated congratulations go to Darren "D" Broderick for his successes in his brand new Fish at the Washburn Challenge (7-8th May). Recent High 'n' Mighty signing "D" has done well to convert his boat to C1 and score points in a boat that is supposed to be hard to get used to. Lets hope that there are more points in store for this rising star.
Darren's scores:
Extreme Slalom - 8th
Downriver - 4th
Freestyle - 3rd
Overall - 4thFor more about Darren go here or here.

Busy day....
Monday 16th saw another major UK delivery from DragoRossi (mainly Stingers and Pintails but we did have to top up our rapidly declining stocks of Fish and Squashtails too). Many of the boats were dispatched almost as soon as they had arrived but of course we could not pass up the opportunity to post some images of our PINK Stinger and Squashtail.
While snapping the DragoRossi boats we remembered that we had yet to post pictures of the Eskimo Salto and since we have now almost completely run out we decided to get a few images before the last ones disappear out of the door.
Also here is really cool little movie of Daniel Herzig from Austria in his DragoRossi Fish and Squashtail (6.4Mb WMV format).
May 14, 2005

Touch (movie), another new dealer & more
We put together a movie of guys having fun in our demo boats at HPP last weekend. It was hard to decide which bits to leave in and which to take out so we decided to make it a full 10 minutes. Sorry it is a big download but we figured that this is the age of broadband, right? Enjoy!;-)

"Archive" movie...
This is a movie made from clips filmed during Winter 2005.
The first clips are of Chris Jones at HPP Nottingham. We bumped into him and Chris Mac at the National Students Rodeo. The rest of the footage was filmed at Hurley on our first trip there with the Stinger (orange) and Pintail (white). Team "Dragon" Lee Pyke showed up in his red Fish, which he has converted to C1, and a good time was had by all. The music is by the excellent Colourbox!
The movie is in WMV format. It has been posted in 3 sizes so take your pick:
"ARCHIVE" (High resolution = 24.3Mb)
"ARCHIVE" (Medium resolution = 16.5Mb)
"ARCHIVE" (Low resolution = 7.4Mb)

Calling all customers
We're currently working on a completely new and much more dynamic website which will include a page for customer feedback. We intend to categorise our feedback by product and develop this part of the site with much more in the way of pictures and stories but for the mean time here are a few items of feedback that we've received.
April 1, 2005
CRIME IS NO JOKE - FIGHT CRIME!
Those of you that having been following the developments of High 'n' Mighty will remember that we had our van broken into and about £500 worth of stuff stolen while at HolmePierrePont whitewater centre (not to mention the cost of repairs to the van). Neither the local police nor the management of the company that controls the site (Leisure Connection) were interested in what happened to us and we simply became another statistic of crime in the Nottingham area.
Recently we heard of a similar incident where a teenage boys car was broken into and a large amount of gear stolen. The mother of the boy contacted Leisure Connection only to receive a similarly unsympathetic response. Their story was posted on the Thames Weir Project website as well as several others and it seems that these were not two isolated incidents but one of a large number of break ins that have taken place at the site.
We decided to contact the company to express our concern to the company only to receive the following statement:
"Holme Pierrepont is a public park and as such it is difficult to police, compared to a private venue or space. Although the area is safe and tranquil, users should take as much care as they would in any other public space or town centre. CCTV is already in operation and steps are currently being taken to increase the protection offered by the cameras. In addition, the police have been informed and are increasing their presence across the park, whilst staff are undertaking regular patrols of the site as a precaution."
We do not think this wishy-washy statement is a suitable response to a serious crime! Think about it. You're in a the HPP carpark and you see someone. Maybe you know what he's up to and maybe not. You approach him, maybe to ask for help or maybe to confront him. He turns and attacks you with the screwdriver he was using to break into the vehicle. It could happen. Is it right that a company that charges you to use the facilities at HPP ignores what is going on right under their noses? If you, like us are not prepared to tolerate this complacency from the management of Leisure Connection then e-mail them and tell them exactly what you think!

DragoRossi Pintail & Eskimo Speedo
We've been inundated with requests for more information so here you go. The Pintail is the latest offering from Corran Addison and DragoRossi while the Speedo is currently Jan Kellner's favourite boat. Speedo's are available immediately from stock while Stingers and Pintails should arrive within the next couple of weeks however we only have limited quantities of all models at this time so if you want one you'd better make sure that your dealer knows about it.

Hot news from DragoRossi
While at the UK Outdoor Show Corran received so many requests for PINK boats that he has managed to convince the guys at the factory to offer any kayak or surfboard in PINK as a special order item. Please note that this is not a colour that will be a standard stock item. It will be specially moulded for customers that request it.
More from Corran on the Singer and pictures of the PINK Stinger here.

2005 SAS Hurley Classic cancelled
Very sad news indeed!
After taking advice from the Environment Agency, the SAS Hurley Classic organising team have been forced to cancel the event scheduled for the 9th & 10th of April 2005. With the River Thames at a very low level, no significant rain forecast, and no guarantee of any open weir gates, they are unable to go forward with one of the core elements of the whole event. The team said that they genuinely regret any inconvenience that the cancellation has caused and request that you pass this information to everybody that you know who had planned to attend, and visit www.hurleyclassic.com for information on entry refunds.

Customer Feedback...
It is really cool when a customer e-mails you to tell you what great fun he's having in his new boat. One guy from the South West of England picked up his Fish at the Outdoor Show on Saturday has already been out and paddled it. Here is what he had to say:
"I paddled the Fish today in at the local surf spot. 1 -1 1/2 mush, blown by an onshore F4. Not the stuff I would normally consider getting up early for. I did anyway and got the Fish out.
It reminded me why I got into kayaking, the most fun thing I haveever done and the greatest and most versatile boat I have ever paddled. It seemed to have two modes. I was spinning and cartwheeling at one moment, then tucked up and blasted off along the face. It felt more like my ski than a playboat and this without the fins! If this is so good in the surf without fins, I'd hate to see what the Squashtail can do! Better start saving, I suppose. :-)
I'm off to Widemouth for a week over Easter, and sad though it seems, the Fish may be seeing more action than my ski! I'm probably going out tomorrow as well, so I'll try it with the fins then.
Thanks for being so understanding and helpful, and thanks for importing what I consider to be the best boat i have ever paddled. And thanks to Corran for designing the thing! ;-)
Good luck, though when you're distributing things this good, you don't need it."

Great news about 2005 Eskimo kayak prices
High 'n' Mighty distribution are pleased to announce that the UK SRP (Suggested Retail Price) for Eskimo kayaks will be:
Topo-Duo = £749.00
Eskimo Salto = £599.00
Eskimo Gecko = To Be Agreed!
All other models = £549.00Remember that these are the prices for the new improved Eskimo kayaks produced in "two-tone" colours using advanced blowmoulding with the fittings moulded in during the moulding process using Eskimo's "IMP" (Integrated Moulding Process) resulting in less components and increased durability.
Visit your local dealer for more information. For more information on our dealer network click here.

The "Big C" @ the NEC
We can confirm that Corran Addison (along with Diego Zanga) will be attending the Outdoor Show at Birmingham NEC (18-20 March). It is a shame that he wont be able to get out onto any rivers during this flying visit (maybe next time) however if you're at the show you should feel free to come along and say hello.
We should have plenty of free copies of the latest issue of X-Elements magazine which features an article all about Corran's river surfing projects which he'll be happy to sign!
Many UK dealers feel that the timing of the show works against them and since we at High 'n' Mighty came from a local shop that struggled through each Winter we sympathise with them but for a small new company like us it is very important to reach out to the end users and let them see our products first hand.
We will not be selling boats from our stall at the show but we have made arrangements with our dealers at the show and those that chose not to attend to ensure that we can best meet the demand for DragoRossi kayaks that the show is expected to generate.
March 6, 2005
New for 2005 from High 'n' Mighty
We are now the UK distributor for ESKIMO kayaks.
We met with Jan Kellner recently and were extremely impressed by the build quality, latest innovations and new colour options on offer from Eskimo so we were more than happy when he asked us if we'd be interested in being the UK distributor.
We believe that DragoRossi and Eskimo kayaks compliment each other extremely well by catering for completely different types of paddler and for a new company like us it is great to be working with two of the best known names in the industry.
The latest Eskimo designs should be on display at the Outdoor Show at the Birmingham NEC (18-20 March) and will be available through our growing dealer network soon after.
For more about the current Eskimo line-up click here.

Check out our updated catalogue for the complete list of DVD titles available through our dealers.

First UK dealers coming on-line
Earlier this week Pete from WWTC took the Fish to Hurley after which he declared "Really, I’m speechless! Corran has done that boat no justice saying that it is the Ferrari of the boat world. A Ferrari is a fast car, a Riot is a fast boat. That Fish is full on Formula 1. It’s embarrassing how fast that thing goes. My god it's good"!

The first DragoRossi boats to hit the UK
It was worth the wait! The first batch of UK DragoRossi boats arrived earlier this week and we snapped a handful of pictures before they sped their way across the country to various demo's etc... We have ALL models and ALL colours! The next batch will be a huge delivery but there are of course so many dealers that we cannot guarantee your preferred colour at your dealer so please contact them if you have any special requirements.Look out for features and reviews of these beauties in Playboating and Paddles magazines but in the mean time feast your eyes on this little lot...
