The Mystery

The Mystery

2020 USA / Duration: 11 mins
Directed by: Tommy Penick, Forest Woodward
Playing with Water & Ice Shorts

In the ‘90s, there existed this very nerdy, goofy and cool subset of kayaking called "squirt boating." At the time, thousands called it their hobby, but now, there are less than 200. In squirt boating, boats are custom-sized, like getting fit for a tuxedo and “the mystery move” was the claim to fame. These days, the hobby itself has pulled a mystery move — disappearing from the kayaking sect, leaving everyone wondering, what happened to those sparkly squirt boats of yore?
