A bunch of Mowhawk OC-1 drivers on the Dog River in Ontario 2008.
It's a long movie so it's broken into six parts

Part I
Part II
Part III
Part IV
Part V
Part VI

I'm the swimmer in Part III. Very refreshing.

Way to get out there and tackle and document an obscure run guys. Being a fellow "local" I could tell as soon as the lake started getting closer. That was worth every minute of my time to watch... good work.

So, Dave. That was YOU who pitoned the big-time* boulder in video 3?

I know how that feels, having done that at least twice in my paddling lifetime. Kinda hard to miss those barely obvious little pieces of rock, eh?

Great videos, btw. Thanks for sharing them.

So, Dave. That was YOU...

Yes it was.

(Don't try to read my lips at the moment of impact. Not family friendly.) I was expecting a little more turning action from the faster current was heading into. Figured that wrong big time. Did you notice the nice divot in the hull when the boat turned over? I (sort of) redeemed myself on the next rapid though going sideways through two good size holes and staying upright.

Thanks for the compliment on the video. All praise should go to Dan who spent many months last winter working on it.

Thanks for the effort put in to make such a great film, strong work fellas. Watching this really lit my fire to get back in a OC1, and I'd like to thank you for that too. It was very inspiring!

Wow nice work - music is excellent, footage quality very nice (what kind of camera?)
Good editing, but some scenes too long, and unfortuanately, yins left out some drops, teasin us w/ shots of cool drops at the end of I and II, then not running them.
Paddlers - was like watchin one of them GDI vids 'cept of a run with no road next to it.
I know, I know...you guys wuz loaded. couldnt handle the canadian beer?
(on the soapbox) Perfec zample where a 16ft boat would work great. ANything you guys run, plus. The longboat would tear that s h it up. Youd probly get away more gear even, tho some of those drops I'd defo carry my gear aroun, an boat more comfterbul.

I dont know, but looks like PAs gotz da football, hockey, and the boaters.
