Quietwater Films - canoe and kayak movies for paddlers

Kayak and Canoe Pictures Taken Along the Way

Jimbo's Mystery Machine, also a great trailer.	A day in the Louisiana Marsh.	What happens when shrimp boats meet crossroads.	You get it all in Louisiana - surf and oil.	Redfish on a fly in a skinny bayou.	Laguna Madre Pelicans.

If you are an optimist, this is future water.	Some signs are picture-worthy.	The height of little dog fashion.	The rewards of stopping for small things.	Don't know what it is, but I like it.	A beautiful bird.

Jimbo, Wendy and John at the start of our day one lake.	Jimbo Meador poling through a riffle.	John Reinders intent on finding a muskie.	Wendy Williamson enjoying a new type of boat.	Wild Wind Images uses a kayak for their photography.	Water time can be relaxing too.

Big girl and her little dog in a just right boat.	Paddling generations.	Kind of like Grape Nuts - but for squirrels.	Keeping head over hips does wonders.	Quiet water and some ripples.	Andy back on the water paddling again.

Tail dancing muskie caught on a fly rod in a Native Watercraft kayak.	This Northern Pike looks just like its cousin the muskie. Fights like one too.	John busts out a few dance moves to attract more fish.	Wendy getting her drift boat ready for a day of camera work.	Jimbo Meador and John van Den Brandt, owner of Wild Wind Images.

My wife recently discovered kayaking. Hard to get her out of the water some days.	Water, Sunlight, Leaves, some Rocks, and some Ripples.

Great view of canoes just starting life.	On the way home to start filming.	Start of filming Day One Tandem Canoe at Devils Lake State Park, Baraboo, WI.	We spent Day One on the South Shore Beach of Devil's Lake State Park.	Darren gently telling Mo we won't be having pizza for lunch.	We spent a chunk of Day Two on a Wisconsin River sand bar.

The angle - straight vs. bent shafts.	Little dog outrage. She quietly puts up with another modeling stint.	The look for a boating dog.	A Wenonah Aurora and the whole family.	All canoes are unique and purposely designed for different uses.	The paddle is just as important as the canoe.

Taking advantage of new beach front property.	Banjo is half poodle and half Lahsa Apso (sp?). And all kayak dog.	South Wood County Park and Lake Wazeecha are undiscovered gems in the middle of Wisconsin.	It's June in Wisconsin. Snow is gone and the Sugar River is calling.	All kayaks are NOT alike.

Sugar River near the bridge in downtown Paoli.	A beautiful day and a great setting for a kayak - Lake Wingra, Madison, WI. - Capital Dome in bkgrd.

One of many ways to get in and out especially when you are at a beach and the water is warm.	Why lift when you don't have to? A little technology can definitely make life easier.	Mike Samstag, working the camera.	Warming up the canoe just after the sun hit the water, Watts Bar Lake, TN, just west of Knoxville.	Getting in and out can be a challenge.	Lined up and ready to go.

Filming the kayak content on Watts Bar Lake.	No need to warm this one up. It's already hot, at least for January in TN.	Some times the early morning light is just perfect, if you are there to see it!	Thule Hullavator and easy to use roof racks make kayaking much easier.	On site at the Wenonah facility in Winona, MN.	midway through the forming process at Wenonah.

A perfect fall day for paddling.
