Making Canoeing Great Again - (Entry#4 Short Film of the Year Awards 2016)

[@WilliamFontaineJr]

Was a C-1 and open boater some years back. This was beautiful and has sure taken what happened back in my time way further. Reminded me of the grace and style that single blading has always presented. That blade is better off in the water rather than spinning like a wing mill. Just really fine, thank you.

[@artsay]

This is just so bad ass from the “long intro” to the killer footage. Great song choice. Chills. I watch this over and over and over, year after year. Love it.

[@DavidMitchell-qx9ne]

Had to mute. Single blades rule! F... B.Sanders though.

[@theodoreroberts8524]

I just keep coming back to this video, one of the best paddling videos out there.

[@stevethomas760]

Not sure if you guys have heard of a guy named Nolan Whitesell. He didn’t like the whitewater canoes available at the time so he designed/built his own . Quite a paddler, lower Niagara. Excellent video!

[@GoDaveGo]

I love that short canoes are made for amputees that fit them perfectly. Inspiring.

[@WilliamFontaineJr]

Is that a smart ass buttboater comment?

[@jhniii]

The cross bow stroke at the lip @2:48 was sick . Making canoeing great again. Damn straight.

[@NearlyNativeNursery]

Awesome film. White Water OC-1 and OC-2 are not lost arts of the past. I picked up two Dagger WW OC. One Caption and I Caper. After 20 years I 'm back in the riding waves and crashes through holes again. Dagger brought me back from the dead plastic american life to the wild white water rivers.Living once again.

[@TheShastamonster]

this film is so badass you open boaters keep it real!

[@josiatokirina1788]

Good video. Love the singer's voice and his version of "The Sounds of Silence"!

[@drosophilamelanogaster4625]

Super sick moves were made in this video. The offside brace at 4:23 is fuckin rad

[@JimBairdAdventurer]

Great footage and epic song too.

[@TheRealTedBaird]

Love it

[@cheskybaba4864]

fantastic - great song rendition too.

[@cbxxb4841]

This is really great stuff! Good Job all!

[@Sailor376also]

YES !!!! A resounding YES !! My version of the same. A 20 foot expedition canoe,, full cover 1200 pounds of flotation and gear, food, and water for at time up to 6 weeks. And then give me the Green River in Utah Class II,, Class III, and a bit of Class IV and V. Fun.

[@dvance502]

Awesome!! Thanks for giving the world this!!

[@distrachan2671]

[@DrMedTobi]

Awsome. Yust awesome thumps up

[@Lonesta1980]

Which boats are shown there? And what I was asking myself... what is harder to learn kajak or canoe?

[@bdh3949]

Can't myself answer which is harder but for which will take more skills, more understanding, a greater need to read the water correctly, maybe more gear, but is far better...canoe.

[@clarkstuart6576]

At the 245 mark. Where is this waterfall and what time of the year is it up? I would love to know

[@Badinboarder87]

That's the ALF (Aint Louie Fest) held on the Tellico every winter, so that is Baby Falls.

[@padlnjones]

fantastic!

[@toryalbertson877]

wow!

[@alexishemerit847]

Trop bien je ne savais pas que cela exister

[@lesleyscott5109]

[@sloboleo]

[@ebrentshelton]

Does anyone know who sings this version of that song?

[@jps9391]

Disturbed

[@will_3961]

strong like for the fire breathing t-rex.

[@willhorsley2105]

Likey likey much 👍🇬🇧

[@UJustMadeMeLOL]

What kind of canoes?

[@theGnarlz]

www.gnarlzoutdoors.com

[@UJustMadeMeLOL]

+theGnarlz thanks for the link I'm really interested in one as an alternative to kayaking. Are the inner floats custom or are they available to order too?

[@theGnarlz]

available to order, [e-mail]

[@stevethomas760]

Years ago I paddled some decent whitewater. Stale/burned out on it well two shoulder surgeries didn’t help. You can teach a old dog new tricks. Whitewater SUP, a little whitewater goes a long way.

[@bdh3949]

Ya mon, more Boof Sisters.

[@skuzznastieee]

[@patrickmars6159]

[@toddheil42]

Like a young man seeing the hot cheerleader in a tight sweater for the first time.

[@smokeandmirrors482]

😮 bad a$$

[@cbr1thou]

go to 1:10, your welcome

[@thomasbrooklyn1820]

Completely irrelevant soundtrack. Excellent!

[@rhondakirtley3032]

Bernie ruins it

[@donjuanbeltran]

If you think that. You need to disconnect yourself from your TV. Quit letting establishment media tell you what to think. Do your own research. KZbin is a good place to start.

[@lesleyfaletto2947]

so.. someone can't like bernie?

[@Badinboarder87]

@@donjuanbeltran anddddd it turns out Bernie was a corporate shill the entire time and just faked caring about ppl in order to buy a few more houses. Haha, your comment really didn't hold up.

[@RenoLaringo]

Great video! But better cut the sound off. That song just doesn't fit there at all.

[@BreadOfPrey]

I'll take a hard pass lol. Went canoeing in the snow once. The water completely shuts your body down

[@cambc9730]

This video was ruined by the song.

[@whaleshrimp111]

Wow!
