reIMAGINED from Five2Nine on Vimeo.

Take a world tour of the world’s roughest rivers. In reIMAGINED, Todd Wells, Aniol Serrasolses, Ben Marr and a selection of other top-tier kayakers take on the gushing waterways and rocky cataracts that Mother Earth says you should never, ever ride.

Filmed between December 2010 and October 2011, this kinetic 18-minute film captures action on Washington’s Little White Salmon, Costa Rica’s Chirripo Atlantico, New Zealand’s WuiNui River, and Canada’s Garburator, a roaring wave in the Ottawa River that seems poised to suck up and digest stunt kayak rider Eric Jackson.

Of course, he rides it out. Every rider here does. It’s what they do for a living.
