Now THIS is COOL!

How is it I never see
The waves that bring me her words to me
for though unseen they drift around
they catch my breath and knock me down

I’m sure you guys remember Bryan Smith. We got to watch him do some amazing stuff in the Skooks in This Is the Sea II. He’s an impressive paddler, and today we’ll see he’s also an impressive film maker! Bryan has posted the trailer for his new DVD, “Pacific Horizons” and it looks flippin fantasic! The film features segments on Dubside, Quadra Island Tidal Races, Skookumchuck Narrows, Keirron Tastagh and Jeff Norville’s 14 day Circumnavigation of Vancouver Island, San Juan Islands, The Oregon Coast, Columbia River Gorge, Remote West Coast Vancouver Island Locations, Queen Charlotte Islands, and much more.

Here’s this from Bryan:

“I started filming Pacific Horizons out of the passion I have for sea kayaking here in the Northwest. With the outer coast, protected inland waters, tidal races, wildlife, and people it seemed like a natural starting point for my first full length sea kayaking film. I set my goals really high right from the start and wanted to focus on one geographic area, giving the film a solid theme that carried through every segment. The film has been shot in High Definition and I have been super excited on the overall quality of the images. I’ve also concentrated on capturing the spirit of the paddlers as well and tried hard to bring out the humor and personalities that make the sport of sea kayaking so much fun.”

    Plus it’s in high definition which is a nice touch. It seems very TITS-esque but that’s a good thing. While I typically am neutral about paddling films, I’m actually looking forward to seeing this one.

    I’m looking forward to Derrick and Alex doing a midwest kayaking video featuring trick rolls and paddling in the stinkwaters of the upper midwest. Stenchkumchuk Narrows, and Flood Races and Jumping Carp and circumnavigation of Blackhawk Island. All set to music from local bar bands and featuring scene changes filmed on the pole at the Wisconsin Dolls.

    I’ll take two.
