For the first time since our run on Netflix, we’re excited to finally have the film back on a streaming platform where you can watch it for free, now on Prime Movies

The film follows legendary kayaker Scott Lindgren on a decades long quest to paddle the four great rivers that flow from Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash. Beneath that pursuit lies a deeper journey, as a brain tumor and personal struggles force Scott to confront his own vulnerability and the parts of himself he had spent a lifetime trying to outrun.

This film has meant a lot to all of us over the years, and we’re grateful to have it readily available again. If you want to support the film, the best thing you can do is watch it, share it with a friend, or buy it on your platform of choice.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of its journey. 🙏

Register for 3 Rivers Rendezvous paddle festival on May Long! You dont want to miss out! Come join in the fun and help UAPS with breakfast duty on Sunday morning.

Wise words from Chuck below:

Hey Everyone,

The weather forecast looks terrific for the next 2 weeks and the snow profile in SW Alberta's headwaters is way above average for this time of year. Everything is looking fantastic for the May Long Weekend, May 15-18. Maybe - just maybe, paddles crossed we will get that golden May weekend with hot weather and high water.

Now we just need to get all of you to register, so that we can make the appropriate plans for the 3 Rivers Rendezvous. here is the link
https://www.pinchocrowcreekers.com/3-rivers-rendezvous

I am excited to host everyone down here at the Castle River Rodeo Campground to paddle all of our local rivers. Lessons available for Beginner to Intermediate paddlers along with demo gear and lots of prizes and fun.

Registration rates go up on May 6th. If you register right away, you will get an extra draw ticket in your package. This is the club's big fundraiser for our youth kayaking programs and your attendance helps us to bring awareness to our sport down here.
