  • Kayaking With Blue Whales

    Kayaking With Blue Whales

    So kayaking isn’t the most extreme sport in the world, but what about kayaking with a Blue Whale – you know, the largest animal on earth. That’s not good enough? What about if you went swimming with it? Well that’s exactly what this brave fellow, Rick Coleman did.

    Out for a nice little kayak trip in Redondo Beach, California, and all of a sudden a Blue Whale surfaces next to him. That would be enough to make most of us pee our pants, but this man, in true Nerve Rush fashion, decided to jump in and swim next to the set of Blue Whales. Luckily, he had one of our trusty GoPro cameras strapped to his helmet and captured the whole thing on video. Well done Rick, Nerve Rush salutes you.

    Based on a true story, this short film features an island south of Thailand called Ko Panyi (Koh Panyee). In 1986, a group of innovative youngsters build their own floating soccer space. What a well-shot film. This needs to be made into a full feature movie. Anyone?

  • HD Storm Skimboarding on the Beach

    HD Storm Skimboarding on the Beach

    Cool footage of a skimboarder playing around in an approaching beach storm. His buddy captured the footage on a GoPro HD camera rigged to a broom pole–points for innovation–so we’re left with some pretty cool angles. And I thought skimboarding was kind of lame, boy was I wrong.
