The OLDGROWTH project is a SOLWYRX Paddlesports production: my sponsor SOTAR SL inflatable kayak on the Clackamas, filmed from some of my favorite angles yet.
Video: The OLDGROWTH project, A SOLWYRX paddlesports production, By Jacob Linkhart, 2026 on the SOLWYRX Paddlesports YouTube channel.
This video is sponsored by SOTAR.
Disclosure: SOLWYRX Paddle Gear sells SOTAR gear, and I earn money when you buy it here. SOTAR also sponsors me as an athlete.
The Clackamas runs through big, old forest, and I wanted this one to show that: mossy walls, huge trees, clear green water, and an SL moving through all of it. It's a short edit, and it's about the setting as much as the paddling.
Filming
Good angles take planning. Scout where the boat will be, find a safe spot on shore, and think about the light. Then run it again from the boat. Every video on the channel is filmed and edited by me, and I'm still learning every time.
The boat is the SOTAR SL. More from the Project series: PROJECT HORIZONLINE, Project Streamline and Project AIRBORNE.
Personal trip report: flows, wood and hazards change, and what worked for me that day isn't a rule for your boat or group. Check current conditions, scout, and boat within your training.
