Glad to know that paddlers are still feeling it as deeply as I did when I was on the River. Glad the awards show the spectrum of the culture that has developed and grown around the sport.

Symphony Farm - 6 years ago

the river runs deep, long after you have hung up the paddle and drank your last booty. The guys from NURPU will always carry a special place in my heart as long as I live, and I am so grateful for the experiences of that time, more precious than any material item! The films reflect that the river is still giving gift out for free to those who seek it.

@symphonyfarm wow thanks for the sweet words. That i exactly the purpose of those awards: celebrate the whitewater culture in all its forms.

I didn't think the "music" could get worse after the first video. Yet somehow the second video almost topped it in terribleness. Color me impressed. The video is pretty cool when muted though. 3rd video and audio far and away the best.

WTH! So, to have a winning video you need filthy rap music & slo-motion jump cuts of white water Kayaking? Nobody is over 40 & paddles quiet waters and gets an award?

Bobby D. - 6 years ago

Rauski good point! I didn't know this was whitewater centric. DUH!

Rauski - 6 years ago

I can't speak for the music choice because I'm not a huge fan of it either. However, you have to understand that it is a whitewater kayaking short film contest. Thus the reason for all the "Slo-motion jump cuts of whitewater kayaking". Your complaint is like going to a pizzeria and saying, "This resturant sucks... I hate pizza!"

Kuk Vids - 7 years ago

Mannnn, 1st had nothing on 2nd place. How did they get that win? Aren't short films supposed to have story lines? (Like 2nd and 3rd place did)

KayakSessionTV - 7 years ago

Results: 50% Judges call (panel made of whitewater professionals and film directors) 50% based on online votes.

Zach Thomas - 7 years ago

Kuk Vids I thought it said they were tied for 1st.

Garrett Rotzien - 7 years ago

hey are you guys kayaking in Oregon in the first video maybe white river falls. and think it looked like you guys went off horse tail falls just wondering cause it looked like ive been to about every fall in the first video

KayakSessionTV - 7 years ago

you would have to ask the producers of this segment Garrett (Torryd media)

mickmorrell - 7 years ago

beautiful, thanks again guys!!!

Ascanio Pillotti - 7 years ago

Never we can see the end of the jumps, why?

idahonative22 - 7 years ago

Good point. These ARE boring. You should put out a better video and include all of your recoveries and escapes. I'll wait.

Anne Sherry - 7 years ago

Seriously, 2 seconds of a drop is boring. I want to see the finish and recovery. I want the eddy turn at the end and escaping holes!

KayakSessionTV - 7 years ago

no real reason. but a lot of the time you can though...

Ascanio Pillotti - 7 years ago

In general in all kayaking movies!

KayakSessionTV - 7 years ago

in general in kayaking movies?
or in this video specifically?
