The Way of the Kayak is a 5-minute documentary that attempts to share with viewers the indesccribable mental, physical, spiritual, and sensual thrill of rolling a kayak - the terror of letting your boat capsize while you´re jammed into the tight cockpit, the suspense of holding your breath while you hang upside down underwater, and the triumph of rolling it back up again and filling your lungs with air. Rolling a kayak is a simple act, but a profoundly spiritual one, a symbolic dram of death and rebirth, in which teh kayaker must surrender to the water, overcome his fear of drowning, and calmly execute the necessary moves to put his boat right again.
