The banal and boring quickly get lost as noise among the infinite video and photo uploads that occur across the interwebs on the daily. To rise above and be seen, you need to step your shit up, big time.
The peeps over at NRS Films and Forge are on a serious streak of producing killer, award-winning films of their paddling adventures. “Is this a vacation?” they ask themselves? Watch the video and tell me this is anything but passion-pursuit disguised as hard work. No one wakes up in the morning and says, “I think I’ll spend the day in the rainy jungle getting eaten alive by a blood-thirsty insect population and subjecting myself to countless viruses — all for the hell of it.” You’ve got to have a damn good reason to put yourself in that place. For Erik Boomer, Tyler Bradt, Galen Volckhausen and the rest of these dudes, the reason is pretty simple.
I spent an hour last night devouring this stuff… Here’s some more of their work to complement:

Yes. This post is not only inspiring, but beyond epic. Thanks for sharing!
With someone like Tim Kemple running camera(s), who could ever be surprised at what is churned out!

Crazy shit! I couldn’t believe the camera duds dangling above the water fall. I don’t think I have the balls man. Great post!
