Standing Waves Q&A with THIS IS THE SEA CELEBRATES 10 YEARS ON THE WATER
JUSTINE CURGENVEN
If you’re fond of kayaking, you’ve probably seen at least one of Justine Curgenven’s award-winning This is the Sea films. May- be, like me, you’ve happily watched one of her five TITS DVDs from start to finish without so much as a popcorn or pee break (an impressive feat given TITS 5, released this year, is up to a whopping three hours). For many, the Welsh filmmaker’s videos aren’t just entertainment—they’re the in- spiration to plan a long expedition, learn to surf, teach a friend to paddle, or make kayaking a part of day-to-day life. Adventure Kayak caught up with Cur-
genven to reflect on 10 years of TITS, and look at how sea kayak films have evolved over the past decade.
You’ve been doing this for 10 years. Did you ever imagine you’d be making sea kayak films for this long?
I never imagined I’d be doing it this long, but then again I have never had a long- term plan for a career path. I only ever plan a year ahead, with a few ideas of what I might do after that. I enjoy being able to react to what excites me and what feels
