So no-one makes an open canoeing DVD for years and suddenly there are 2 produced within 4 months of each other!

If you are reading my blog then hopefully you are familiar with my DVD “This is Canoeing” which came out in March.  If not click here!

You may also be aware that the people who make “Lunch Video magazine” in the States have also made a canoeing film called “The Canoe Movie” which came out last month. I don’t think the DVD is very widely available outside of North America so I am selling a limited number in my UK/ Europe /Australisia store. The price is £19.99 with free shipping so if you don’t need any  more convincing then click here to buy it now!

If you want to know  more about the DVD then it’s plugged as a look into the passion and pride that is the whitewater canoeing community, paying homage to some of the original innovators in the sport, and giving recognition to the passionate ones who live for it today. Not to mention, some of the best imagery and largest rapids run in canoes, ever! From the “Ain’t Louie Fest” in March 2010 with the 100+ people from across North America, to the waterfalls of the Rio de Oro in Mexico, this film taps into the pulse of the whitewater open boat spirit and will undoubtedly leave you with a longing to pick up a t-grip and leave your skirt at home.

I’ve watched the 35 minute film and the 35 minutes of extras and enjoyed the insight into some of the pioneers of whitewater canoeing with engaging interviews with some of the key characters. My favourite bits were the whitewater action sections with some very impressive rapids being run, including class 5 rapids in a double canoe. There is also great footage of running beautiful and scary looking waterfalls in Mexico – there are some really jaw-dropping drops there. Eli Helbert, Dooley Tombras and friends have got some guts!

So if you want to check it out, watch the trailer and/or buy a copy of the DVD, while stocks last.
