Kayaks are appearing in all sorts of media these days, but I never expected kayaking in one of my favorite types of films ... 1950's B horror movies. This week I was watching the AMC horror marathon movie "The Deadly Mantis." Giant prehistoric preying mantis thaws in Artic and heads south. One of first attacks is on a native villiage. Great scene with 20-40 skin kakays being launched and paddled out into a bay. It looks like some documentary footage spliced into the movie. Anyone know what film this footage may have been taken from. The kayak footage is very short, but I may have to rent the movie just to get a look at some real Greenland technique. Mark J.

One was a woman surfing in a whitewater boat. The other was a commercial with a sea kayaker that actually shows a roll. I don't recall exactly what was being advertised though. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

I just saw a Pfeizer TV ad that had someone paddling a wood strip kayak. The ad was promoting Pfeizer's research on Alzheimer's and erectile disfunction. This is getting scary.

I was kidding him in front of his girl friend but she chided me "Hey, it's good money!" He paddles a wooden kayak but not in the ad. Maybe there is a connection. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .

A couple of days ago a person asked what use cold be made of a single sponson and associated webbing. Might I suggest there is a connection to be found here with the Pfeizer advert in terms of a "strap-on"?

We here on PaddleWise promoting proper posture when paddling and the media is going to highlight erectile disfunction when paddling.

Anybody know if this film has been 'remade' by Mystery Science Theater 3000? ;) Shawn Mark J.
