We have a new webshop! And it’s about time really! I can still remember roughly botching together my first ‘website’ with a fairly blank page containing a paypal button to buy ‘This is the Sea’ DVD. Not long afterwards, kayaker and webmaster Derrick Mayoleth saw my pitiful effort and offered to design a professional site. He’s been doing that job ever since & I’m very grateful for his talents. More recently, I’ve been adding more products to the webshop, including over 50 digital downloads & I realised I’d outgrown the existing patchwork of paypal buttons. This time I’m hugely indebted to Axel Schoevers, a Dutch paddling friend who is clever with computers. Luckily for me, Axel was upgrading his own webstore & hugely helped me to do mine.

There are still 2 stores –  a North & South American store with NTSC DVDs & a UK/ Europe / Australia store with PAL DVDs.  Now downloads are integrated into both stores, & in multiple currencies. Most of you will be able to shop in your own currency – so you can see how much you’ll be spending right from the start. If you can’t read this in English, I hope you have found the option to translate the website into dozens of languages (at the top of each shop page, & in the sidebar on the other pages). You can ‘like’ a product on Facebook, email it to a friend or write a review on the website. So please get involved!

You can now search the store for a film by keyword, or chose just to look at sea kayaking or canoeing films. You can even search the downloads by ‘expedition films’, ‘instructional films’, ‘action’ or ‘destination’.

“This is the Roll” is also now available as a digital download. You can buy the whole film, or just the films about the rolls you are interested in learning.

There are a few other new products. I’ll blog about them separately later on or take a look and see for yourself. Meanwhile, I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that there aren’t too many mistakes in the 93 different products that I’ve put into the store! If you spot something then please drop us a line and let us know. Otherwise, I hope you find the store easier to use.
