What’s it all about…..

A few weeks ago I wrote on my Facebook page ‘Rob is off to Norge to live a Nookie Life…’

Now this to me seemed quite self explanatory and obvious as to what I meant, but soon messages were arriving saying ‘Nookie Life what do you mean?’ So as opposed to explaining individually to everyone what this means, I thought I would just write once for every one to read what it means to me.

I suppose to me living a Nookie Life means hat you take every opportunity that is presented to you, squeeze the most in to life, do good things for other people, travel any where and every where for the perfect paddle and work damn hard at having a great life.

So my Nookie Life this summer has taken me all over the place but two places that are sticking in my mind so far are two weeks coaching creeking to a group of young people in Norway





and todays Hurley early session in the sun





A massive thanks to young boater Finn Burrows who has put together these videos and is starting to live a Nookie Life…. He is a paddler to watch out for in the future, 16 yrs old and styling it.

Any way I’d love to stop and chat but have a ferry to catch to France. Another mission, another load of smiles and new friends to be made.

Enjoy

Nookie at OR Show, Salt Lake City - U.S.

The Nookie Team have worked hard this year to develop some exciting new products. The OR Show in Salt Lake City saw the first unveiling of a few of them.

The NEW Nookie Assault Shell is a full latex whitewater shell made from Xtetra4 ply fabric and brand new Enduro Mesh.

The NEW Nookie Guide Strides are perfect legwear for open boating, rafting, instructing and playing hard. Made from SomaTX3ply fabric with Enduro Mesh reinforced panels and removable padding in the knees.

The NEW Delta Cirrus Jacket and Trousers are super lightweight protective layers ideal for touring, sea kayaking, recreational paddling and every day protection from the elements. The Jacket packs away neatly into its own pocket and they're both a great choice when the weather is unpredictable - so that means they're always a great choice.
