We've added a videos section to our site, with the aim of inspiring all you out there in cyber land to get out onto the water. We hope to be able to post videos from others out there, but for now, the first taste is from Deano's epic expedition in August 2007, Ningaloo Dreaming.

Cast your mind back a couple of years - back to August 2007 - and Australian paddler Dean Gardiner had an idea. He wanted to return to his native Western Australia, and specifically to Norwegian Bay - half way up the Western Australian coast at Ningaloo reef. This was where his old man had worked on the whaling boats in the 50's, and where Dean himself had spent many of his formative years driving fishing boats.

The idea was to paddle the length of the reef over 12 days - some 40km+ every day - with some of the world's best paddlers. Paddling from south to north (Carnarvon to Exmouth), they would film it, specifically with the aim of highlighting the plight and beauty of the whales themselves. The result was a 1 hour television show (already shown overseas) called "Ningaloo Dreaming", and we've included a trailer here for your enjoyment.
