These seven remarkable films have more than just paddling in common - they also all helped inspire, engage, and excite anyone who watched them.  Some are over 30 years old yet they still stand the test of time and perhaps are even more relevant today. Although they aren't all full of huge waterfalls, gnarly rapids, and man-eating holes, (some don't even have whitewater in them at all), they still speak to the core of paddlers everwhere.  If you haven't seen them yet what are you waiting for?

Path of the Paddle, This is the Sea, A Glorious Way to Die, Wildwater and the list continues!  These amazing films from filmmakers such as Bill Mason, Justine Curgenven, and Bryan Smith have gone above and beyond to help showcase what it is we do as paddlers and perhaps help non paddlers understand why we do it (and maybe convince some of them to give it a try).  These films are all packed with stunning footage and jaw dropping scenery but where they truly stand out from many of the videos of today is they tell a story that speaks to all people and paddlers.
