Here at Astral we love some kayak films, especially those put together by our team athletes. Recently we had a chance to watch the new Shasta Boyz Film ‘Slippery When Wet’ and can attest that its one of the top kayak films of the year! Over the past few months we have featured the trailers right here on Astral Currently, which feature many of our team paddlers across the globe. In addition the soundtrack is really dope and just some flat our amazing scenery and great boating. They Shasta Boys also took part in some relief efforts over in Japan in the wake of the earthquake and tsunami. All we can say is that we are really proud of these guys for all their energy and amazing talents. Here’s a few words from Shon Bollock of SBP about the film…
“Life has been hectic in the SBP world lately. After finishing a master copy of Slippery When Wet in late July, I was barley able to get DVDs August 4th before flying to the Outdoor Retailer show on August 5th. After the epic whirl wind of making some great connections and a wicked bender with the boyz, I rallied back to Mt. Shasta to start getting ready to move down to Santa Cruz for school. Slippery When Wet has been a culmination of the past 2 years of paddling and filming for the collective athletes involved with this film. The production time was almost 6 months longer than my last project Wet Dreams and it has gotten a great response from the paddling community. If you haven’t seen all the trailers for some reason then you can check all 7 here. Pick up a copy of the wetness here and stay posted for a tour dates on shastaboyz.com.”
Here is an edit of how the WWGP looked for me. It was one of the best experiences in my paddling career yet and is a giant step in the progression of whitewater kayaking. Thanks to everyone who made it happen and for my sponsors who supplied my gear that stood up to the test.

Here’s a short and sweet highlight of the Devils Extreme Race, the Open European Championship in extreme kayaking. The race was held below the Lipno dam on the Vltava River, on a section called the Devil’s Streams in the Czech Republic. Enjoy!
