But now days, rugged, inexpensive, lightweight video cameras have become the norm, and as a result, we now get amazing video, captured by professional and amateur filmmakers alike, with astounding regularity.

Last week I posted a final update on Dave Cornthwaite's 2400-mile expedition to stand-up paddle the entire length of the Mississippi River, just as the adventurous Brit neared his finish in the Gulf of Mexico.

He also managed to find time to edit and share a great video featuring highlights from his record breaking SUP voyage. You can check it out below
