V2 is a fun, tight presentation that will add to your skill [...]]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2011/08/19/sea-kayak-with-gordon-brown-v2/feed/ 6 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/20/gordon-lives/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/20/gordon-lives/#comments Tue, 20 Oct 2009 23:06:43 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=5373 With Gordon you will learn how to kayak, not how to talk about learning to kayak. There is nothing that personally drives me more crazy than a coach who talks strokes into millimeters and sets inflexible body and hand positions as laws. This is where Gordon’s years of experience come in. He simply does things. Whatever it is he’s demonstrating is so smooth, so hardwired that you imagine he could be reading Jane Austen with one eye, checking his Iphone with the other and it would have no effect on his demonstration.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/10/20/gordon-lives/feed/ 10 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/07/29/terra-antarctica/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/07/29/terra-antarctica/#comments Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:14:42 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=4637 Terra Antarctica is at it’s best simply carrying you along in this shockingly beautiful land. Antarctica is masterfully presented in such a way as to make this cold and stark continent seem somehow warm and inviting. For good or bad I’m sure it will help fill an eco-tour or two. A mix of talent and providence came together to fill Terra Antarctica with some amazingly unique images including the up-close collapse of a colossal ice arch and pouring rain soaking into glacial ice.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2009/07/29/terra-antarctica/feed/ 0 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/11/15/staying-dry-t4-in-chicago/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/11/15/staying-dry-t4-in-chicago/#comments Sun, 16 Nov 2008 02:09:56 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=2272 Let's have a look at the "This Is The Sea 4" Premiere Held last night in Chicago.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/11/15/staying-dry-t4-in-chicago/feed/ 1 http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/10/27/being-there-the-t4-review/ http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/10/27/being-there-the-t4-review/#comments Mon, 27 Oct 2008 10:41:35 +0000 derrick http://www.kayakquixotica.com/?p=2110 Having watched various clips here and there I knew somewhat what to expect. For me seeing This Is The Sea 4 all come together was the real joy. So much work goes into a project like this. The challenge to any artist or filmmaker is to take a feeling, a moment in time or vision and translate it in such a way as to have others feel what you experienced when you were there, in the moment.]]> http://www.kayakquixotica.com/2008/10/27/being-there-the-t4-review/feed/ 5
