This week we're shooting some footage for a physics video on the science of materials. We'll be showing the difference between the relatively durable plastic kayaks and the touch fiberglass ones used in racing. Fortunately for us, these plastic kayaks are great for bouncing off of and sliding down rocks. 

Great footage also provided by Sam Fulbright at Pilot Collective Media: http://www.youtube.com/user/pilotcollective

Other great footage by Lydia Cardinal and Chris Wing at H20 Dreams: http://www.youtube.com/user/whitewaterdreams
