Where it began

The Acid proved itself in competition.

The Acid OC1 came to life for the 2022 ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships in Nottingham, where it finished an impressive sixth. It has consistently earned top-five finishes at the British Canoe Freestyle Championships and Euro Open competitions from 2021 to 2025. The Acid placed sixth at the 2023 ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships on the massive Good Wave feature, then took eighth and ninth at the 2024 ICF Canoe Freestyle World Cups in Plattling. Most recently, it finished fifth at the 2025 ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships and won the 2025 German Canoe Freestyle Championships.

What followed

The Junglist arrived in 2024.

The Junglist was a new creation for 2024, taking silver medals at both the British Canoe Freestyle Championships and the Euro Open. It also took first place at the GB Freestyle team selection events. In 2025, on its first international outing, the Junglist won a bronze medal at the ICF Canoe Freestyle World Championships in Plattling.
