Flex Maslan Miami River night kayakfari canoe shipyard history
Spooky paddling and filming in eerie industrial darkness on the Miami River!

.

Follow along behind the scenes as I paddle my 17 ft Coleman canoe on the industrial Miami River.  It took some decent effort on my part to paddle this large canoe solo. Going ‘upstream’ there was some current so I switched to a 230cm kayak paddle to make the best of it. Once past the Tamiami Canal connector the water was still and flat which added to the eeriness of the experience and made for great filming!

This film segment shot on the Miami River at night took myself and the film crew past some key historical sights and rarely seen parts of today’s Miami. Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Katja Esson saw some of my images from a previous night trip Kayak Miami – Full moon paddling on the historic Miami River and was interested in filming in the dark industrial shipyard section of the Miami River. Be sure to see the whole film too!

Interestingly I was both a guide and a subject for the film crew as we

cruised the eerie industrial darkness of the Miami River canal!

The Miami River – Crocodiles and Cruise Ships!

.

Like many large cities, Miami has a river running through it. This superb film by Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Katja Esson is an entertaining and informative production on the Miami River. Although today much of the upper section of the river has been turned into a freshwater canal, the separated salt water tidal inlet portion still winds through downtown Miami as nature carved out. Follow a journey from it’s historical source in the Everglades and the Native peoples who first settled along it’s gentle banks, to today’s giant Cruise Ships in Biscayne Bay and the busy Port of Miami. The river has been fully dredged for maritime commerce to allow cargo freighter ships, yet at the same time there are trendy upscale restaurants along with the last remnants of once thriving commercial fisheries. This highlights one of the main themes of the film, the great contrasts and cultural diversity that exist within Miami also reflect upon the river itself!
