Currents is a new river stewardship-focused WebTV project from that uses online video documentaries and whitewater kayaking as a means to educate audiences about the risks threatening the world’s rivers and to help highlight the intrinsic value of preserving rivers in their natural state.

Launched by Ottawa Valley-based media and events company Five 2 Nine Productions earlier this year, the goal of the project is to "promote positive actions on the rivers that are so important to [paddlers]."

Watch the first episode—er, webisode—below, highlighting Ecuador's endangered paddling jewels.

ChrisHeath1-vi1Even the best paddlers are just in between swims.

That's the hook for this great idea: a blog with podcasts—audio recordings of interviews—rather than written stories from some of whitewater's most talented paddlers and biggest movers and shakers.

In Between Swims is chock full of interesting, exciting and arresting stories. Listen to just one below.

"Looking back at my experience here, and general respect for the power of water, how could I stand at the lip of Lower Heath Springs on Royal Gorge and declare that resurfacing on the left isn’t an issue?" - Darin McQuoid
