Fun water sports to try this Summer

Summer is a beautiful season — it’s full of long days, warm nights, and fragrant air. Though, of course, it does bring with it a lot more heat and sweaty days. That’s why joining in on water sports or activities is the perfect way to cool off, freshen up, and have a whole lot of fun in the meantime. Whether you’re in for an adrenaline kick with kitesurfing or flyboarding, or you prefer something more chill such as yachting or snorkelling, there’s sure to be the perfect activity for everyone.

Unfortunately, it is very common for many water sports equipment and clothing to get damaged. It is just the nature of the activities. Whether getting caught on rocks or accidentally tearing your wetsuits, it's incredibly easy to damage your water sports equipment. What's worse is that water sports items can be very expensive! So, if you damage them, it can be co

You’ve got that fancy tent, the ultralight and comfy sleeping bag that keeps you toasty all night, and the cushy sleeping pad that packs down to the size of a small burrito. Or you’ve got decades-old gear that has survived dozens of trips. In short: you’re stoked and ready to experience the great outdoors.

And everything is great, right until you put a hole in your gear. Unfortunately, puncturing your gear is just part of the game when it comes to camping. The woods are full of sharp things just waiting to tear into your gear. And, if you are trying to lighten your load, that lightweight gear is the more susceptible to ripping and tearing.

The good news is that a small hole doesn’t spell the end of any piece of gear. Most holes can be patched pretty easily with the right knowledge and equipment. We’ve put together this guide to help you repair holes in your camping gear, from clothing to tents to sleeping bags and pads.

Polyurethane glue otherwise referred to as PU adhesive, is used in situations that demand extremely high durability. The degree of elasticity offered allows for use for static as well as for more tactile bonding purposes. These adhesive types are formulated from polymers and commonly have a variety of other types of additives in them too.

The Science

In the case of polyurethane adhesive – also known as PU adhesive – this means that the liquid glue will become rigid when exposed to air at room temperature. When polyurethane adhesive sets, it absorbs the energy in heat to power a chemical reaction and create a very high strength bond.

Polyurethane adhesive commonly finds usage as a dual-component adhesive, but it can be found in single-component varieties as well.
