This video gathers the TOP3 videos - the Winners Reel - of the 2018 Kayak Session Short Film of the year Awards. With an incredible level of quality, it was really hard for the judges and voters alike to decide on who will win. Judges and voters could not separate the top two movies and we ended up with a tie for the first time ever! 37 entries, 10 finalists, the best of whitewater kayaking on film every year. A huge congrats to all entrants, Legends all! NB: 50% is based on a panel of whitewater and filmmaking professionals, 50% based on online votes & views.
Thanks to our partner Sweet Protection, we manage for the third time in a row to go over the million view mark! 2018 is looking even brighter… With film makers from the four corners of the world the Short Film of the Year Awards have now reached the international status, and is seen as the reference for film producers around the world, and TV broadcasters alike.

After my motorbike accident white water kayaking I had to leave behind, but I live through these videos now and almost capture that freedom feeling as you beat the river who wants to swallow you up, there is nothing like the moment all your emotions flood through of satisfaction relief exhilaration and love for nature and the river behind you, nothing can give you all of this together, to me,

I'm 63 years old and got into kayaking hard core a couple of years ago, partly because of the inspiration I got from these clips. As for the music, you can take it politically (which I think is Plan B's intent) or just as a machismo thing of we're ready to tackle the meanest challenges. (Love the song, btw : ))

Today is life. Tomorrow never comes... Why does it take being in that last moment when you know death is right there,staring into your eyes for us to feel that calming peace when you truly understand that it's ok what's going to happen is going to happen. Get out there and live. Send it

My two favorite kayak films ever are free solo, and the one about descending the scimitar canyon
