“It’s been nearly four years since we’ve been able to host in-person film festivals due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are beyond excited to gather with our fellow paddling enthusiasts once again,” said NFCT Executive Director Karrie Thomas. “The films we’ll showcase this year are inspiring, action packed and thought provoking, and a great reason to come hang out with the New Hampshire paddling community and get psyched for the paddling season.”
Audiences will see films about everything from expert whitewater showcases, sea kayakers exploring remote frozen coastlines and motivating environmental documentaries to epic standup paddle boarding quests and grueling kayak fishing battles.
