We started this year slow & steady with a mini retreat along the rainy California coast with some paddling pals. We’re thankful for the privilege to pause and reflect as we steer towards year 5 as a little company 🌊🚣🏽‍♀️✨

Today is our 3 year anniversary as a production company! Pictured here is a throwback to one of the first Bearfish expeditions back in 2014. Four years later, we started our shack of a production company and we couldn’t be more thankful of the opportunities we’ve had so far. To our clients, collaborators, and supporters, thank you for voyaging with us. Let’s see what the waters of this new year bring! 🌊✨

It’s officially been a full lap around the sun of extra safety precautions, adjusting said safety precautions, working from home, moving from said home, moving back to another home, and all the while trying to stay sane. We managed to film throughout the year (perks of outdoor filming!) but most has been online. We at Bearfish Productions are beyond grateful for everyone who’s continued to collaborate with us on this journey. 🌞🌊

There's still time to register at Canoecopia and meet the Chicago Adventure Therapy team on March 13th.

We learned so much while working on this video, and there are so many tangible actions a person or organization can do to make their paddling projects more welcoming and equitable.

We hope to see you there!
