@cjYooper because he has all his gear at the front so the weight is evened out...

His canoe is a chestnut prospector. The most treasured canoe of any Canadian paddler. Bill was a legend and mentor. I Owe all my talent as a freestyle canoeist to Bill and his daughter, Becky. His son Paul taught me incredible technical skills in whitewater. I thank them all so much for opening up the sport so broadly but first Bill with the Waterwalker series.

Wow. Some great footage.
-
what kind of canoe was that? he sit on the stern, and the front barely rises, how stable is that!

"i'm gonna hold you up and love you, waterwalker"
-
Bill Mason carved "Paddle to the Sea" if anyone remembers that classic.
-
Everyone should feel a such instant in his life.
-
The music for Waterwalker was done by Bruce Cockburn who was a dear friend of Bill. Bruce is one of the poetic shining lights of Canadian folk, especially political folk.

I have some of Bill Mason's videos but not this one. If you own this video, do you think you could see who did the songs in the soundtrack and what their names are. I really like them.
Anyone who can get away with paddling a conoe in shorts that tight gets my respect without question :)

Bill struggled to make this one and called it the impossible feature. Actually the whole film was made from stock footage from his cutting room floor. Either way it's still amazing.
