Aniol and Gerd Serrasolses have been kayaking together for almost their entire lives. Follow them on their adventure through the highs and lows of a life on the river.

The premiere began with a journey to the Ecuadorian Amazon, it raced down the Grand Canyon, adventured across Greenland, SUP surfed in Tofino, descended a gorge in Northern Pakistan, island hopped across a deadly strait to Tasmania and then played below the surface on the Cheat River Narrows before embarking on a canoe journey of reconciliation. MacGregor believes the festival’s ongoing success is based on three things: “The World Tour bring communities of people together; it inspires audiences to go and explore; and most often the screenings are used as fundraisers to support local non-profits doing good things.” Last night’s host, The Complete Paddler raised $2500 for Project Canoe, a non-profit focused on improving the lives of youth through outdoor adventure. Since Rapid Media launched the festival back in 2006, the World Tour has screened 959 times to more than 282,864 audience members. Rapid Media has awarded $71,000 to paddling filmmakers and helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for charitable causes. The Paddling Film Festival World Tour has grown to become one of the largest paddling events in the world.

I recently decided to build a paddle ergometer after having priced out new ones. You can see video of it at diypaddleergometers.wixsite.com/instructions, where you will also have the option to purchase detailed plans for $9 CAN. It is a great way to own a very functional and affordable piece of equipment.

It was a fantastic paddle with eight of us enjoying a marvellous day with an exceptionally well behaved Mersey. This estuary needs to be paddled more :-). It was a long (47.5 km) trip but thanks to good tides we were still able to lift a pint in The Ferry Pub afterwards :-). Thanks for joining, guys!  Kristiaan D’Août
