The Playboating Bible project demystifies the freestyle paddling rules. So here are the latest few videos from the Playboating Bible demonstrating the ICF rules of playboating. This project is an attempt to bring every boater info on these moves to better understand what freestyle is all about, filmed on location at the World Championships, Nantahala River NC.

A big thank you to Nick Troutman, Jason Craig, Claire O’Hara, Ruth Gordon-Ebens, Eric and Dane Jackson for their help with creating this project and Kokatat for supporting it.
