Great edit of aerial and ground video from the Bigfork Wild Mile Whitewater Festival in Montana. We used a MK Hexakopter XL with a GoPro Hero 3 for the aerials and a Sony FS700 for the ground work. The hispeed was shot at 240fps and everything else was at 1080 60P.
Fletcher Burton stand up paddling (SUP) South Silver Creek in California.
Video of Fletcher Burton’s epic stand up paddling (SUP) descent of South Silver Creek’s 600 foot per mile section. South Silver has always allured whitewater enthusiasts to it’s granite paradise of waterfalls and slides. It was no surprise to us when Fletcher called and wanted to try it’s first SUP descent. The sport of SUP has migrated inland and continues to grow with new vertical descents. Determined to take these “limits” to an entirely whole new level, Fletcher charged it and attempted every drop at least twice (even with a busted leg after Skyscraper). Fletcher has been pushing his the limits of the sport even before it hit mainstream, by standing up on his wave ski. No stranger to the paddling world either, he has many accomplishments including:
– 7x’s US Waveski National Champion
– 2x’s US Surfkayak Champion
– 2nd at Worlds Surfkayak in Brazil
– 2nd at Worlds Waveski in New Zealand
– 3x’s California dungeons and dragons champion (not really, he wrote that in)
Enjoy the film and we think Fletcher said it best,
“Maybe a stand-up paddler will never do what a kayaker does [on steep creeks] but there is a learning curve and gear to be developed to be able to accomplish something like South Silver Creek.” – Fletcher Burton

Rarely will you find the Substantial Boys dabbling in the arts of “PLAY” boating…but there is a time, and in that time, there is a place, and in that place, there is a saying…HAPPY STAKEOUT! Enjoy some amazing wave surfing from some of the sports best (not including me)…The Ruins wave is one of the greats in big wave surfing…it’s like the feeling you get when you take a first sip of an ice cold beer after a long day of work

The Hydroptère is an experimental sailing hydrofoil designed by French yachtsman Alain Thébault. Her multihull hydrofoil design allows the sail-powered vessel to reach high speeds on water. The design is based on experience from a range of hydrofoil sailcraft that Thébault built in cooperation with the late Éric Tabarly since the 1990s. On October 5, 2008 she reached a record speed of 52.86 knots (97.90 km/h; 60.83 mph), however this was over a shorter distance than the 500m necessary to qualify for an official world record On December 21, 2008, the Hydroptère briefly reached 56.3 knots (104.3 km/h; 64.8 mph) near Fos-sur-Mer, but capsized shortly thereafter.
On September 4, 2009, the Hydroptère broke the outright world record, sustaining a speed of 52.86 knots (97.90 km/h; 60.83 mph) for 500m in 30 knots of wind. In November 2009, she broke the 50 knot barrier for a nautical mile with a speed of 50.17 knots (92.91 km/h; 57.73 mph) in Hyères, France.
