I love how the hole in a kayak doesn't count as something that went wrong and had to be fixed...

I love Australian candor and total lack of pretension! I'm an American but my Mom was born and raised in England. My guess is the best Englishmen wound up getting sent to Australia. Here's an example of Australian sea kayaker behavior. Forty years ago I operated a sea kayaking company here in Maine. In my spare time I wrote articles on sea kayaking for American and English sea kayaking publications. One night...actually it was 3 am in the morning...my telephone rang awakening me from a sound sleep. When I answered the fellow at the other end announced that he was a sea kayaker living in Port Lincoln, Australia. Turned out he had read some of my sea kayaking articles and he was calling to invite me on a kayaking expedition in Australia. He even offered to supply me with a kayak and food supplies for,the trip. I told him I would love to take him up on his generous offer but I couldn't afford the airplane ticket so I'd have to say no. Here in America sea kayakers tend to be a rather elitist clannish bunch but this Australian sea kayaker (I think his name was Grant Cawthorne) was nothing like that. He, in fact, offered me an honorary membership in the West Coast Sea Kayak Club and even mailed me a bumper sticker and arm patch attesting to my membership! Great people those Aussies! and I love these videos by Beau Miles (symbolic last name don't ya think?)

Beau you're an absolute legend, totally helped me to realise how important it is to do what is important! Rock on dude!

This guy should be a comedian...I was in stitches 😂😂😂👌

Amazing, the in-yer-face Aussie reveals a beautiful and thought provoking story. Your students must love you. Great homecoming. From a Brit who lives and paddles in the US. Thanks.

got along like a house on fire. added to my vocab, thanks.

Beau - I've returned back home to Oz in Jan after nearly two years of backpacking and adventuring. Back in normal life, I find myself often itching for adventure. Your ability to find adventure in your backyard has inspired me shift perspectives once again. Keep it up legend, and it would be awesome to take a class with you at Monash once things calm down a bit. Cheers mate.

Enthusiasm. That's what's so good. Interesting. Real. Honest. Loving your vids. Thanks v much. :)

I really like your channel Its showing me the way forward I am and will continue to learn from you, you have shown me a new way of life exploring thank you wish more people was like this god of a man

It just feels like these videos have been made for me, totally natural on camera and I sense, from half way around the world, via a computer screen, an all-round authentic legend. Never seen matching kitchen tiles and shirt before though! Good on ya!

Did i just watch all of your videos in a week? You, mr Beau, have a real talent! It's storytelling! It speaks to me and makes me want to do more of my own kind of expeditions! I'll like how you up the game in terms of storytelling by showing all kinds of third person angles. This format is amazing! And your narrative have become so much better over the years. Anyways, hope to see more of this kind of content!

I loved this! It waa so inspiring and poetic. Wonderful job and thank you for all the hard work to make it.

Thank you Beau, really enjoyed your films, I fancy an adventure at the moment and your attitude and good humour is great encouragement. Always wanted to visit Tasmania and the paddling looks great, I will put it on my post pandemic bucket list, for now I will stick to paddling around the UK. Thanks again and all the best.

Great Q&A! Way better having the questions already in hand than doing it live.

I can only say thank you so much for a marvelous story! I don’t follow much but you hooked me well.

First thing in beau’s channel is him pouring a coffee saying “should be drinking a beer really” lol legend

Thanks a lot pal! I'm now behind in my work. What a great set of episodes covering an amazing experience. A pleasure to watch and inspirational. BZ (navy code)

This is one of my favorite videos!

I loved the q&a

Love your films Beau. I’m trying to convince my other half to let me do Bass strait. I’ve now convinced my kids thanks to this series...congratulations. You have inspired me to make a kayak trip video too, come to think of it you probably inspired the trip :-)

awsome mate , looks like a great time .

Got me in trouble with the wife this series as I couldn't stop watching it. I put the todo list to one side while I feasted on this fantastic doco. Well done Beau, really enjoyed watching it, I only happened upon it as I was researching what kayak to buy for cruising around the Mornington peninsula. Great work, Thanks.

LOL I'm laughing so hard at your explanation for helen on how you pee at sea.

I wanna do this trip in my Hobie adventure island , I’ve done trips offshore but this is next level , watched the whole series mate , very entertaining and inspiring

I was going to have an early night tonight, made this mistake of watching episode 1 of bass by kayak......ended up watching all 6 videos and the Q and A. What does that tell you about the video making.....sen-bloody-sational. Thanks Beau.

Very inspiring, loved the way the journey was visualized. 80 km in one day, can not imagine the pain to do that sea sick. My last mini strip around islands in Southern Thailand only included 15 km on the longest day, yet twice I experience this weird sensation being on land, as if I was still in rough sea. Will take a while before I embark on a journey like that for sure.

Hi from South Africa. I just watched the whole series, an epic adventure. How is your buddy with his cancer?

awseome mate! I completed Bass straight last year with only 40km under me belt, couldn't of done it without experienced paddlers especially Julian Smith

"It takes you a few days to get back to the fragmented and wide scope of regular life." That sentence totally helped me in better understanding my own feeling when I returned from a bicycle trip from Stockholm to Amsterdam. Been watching an episode á day for the past week, loved it all the way through. Got me wondering if I would be able to trade the bike for a kayak and become a coaster. edit: typo

Kayaking is the best thing out there ,thrills,risks, I mean you are one second away from a huge disaster and that's probably the most addictive part of kayaking I guess ,have done around 300 kms on a kayak not much but yeah , Lovely vids man ,amazing content ,lovely film making ,,❤❤❤ lots of love ,india

Best kajak videos I have ever seen. Great job thanks. Doing little adventure paddling on rivers in Europe with my folding seakajak, lots of fun, especially free solo.

Hi Beau, I just watched Bass by kayak for the third time, great inspirational film. You mentioned that getting used to the new kayak took you a week of adjusting. I have the same problem with legs falling asleep. Can you please explain what kind of adjustment you made and what worked for you. Thanks

I REALLY enjoyed your series Beau - especially seeing as me and a couple buddies are heading out on a 215km paddle next Friday on the Rideau Canal here in Ontario Canada. With that in mind I’m very curious about your logistic game. In particular what was your plan about water ? We’re fortunate here that the Rideau is fairly pristine fresh water (for filtering) and there’s bathrooms with potable water at each lock station, but I do plan next year on getting my Paddle Canada Level 3 ticket which is only done on open water so that’ll open up a whole new thing. Thanks for your efforts, and I’d love to hear from you. Cheers - Darryl

So good, I was wondering about the ole poo scenario

Hey Beau, what Kayak would you recommend for rivers here in Sydney? Thanks

Hi, love your film making style Beau! I'm curious why you wouldn't break up the long leg and stop at Craggy Island? Is it protected or under water at high tide?

I agree...more women. I wouldn't want to go on many solos without my wife. Congrats to me for finding your productions.

“ got along like a house on fire” this is of course an Australian saying…. Hahaha

Mr. Willey, Duke of Cokkenbowls

I would say getting the boats tossed and one getting holed is something going wrong, or one of the item being pretty ill on the longest stretch of open water. Bothe episodes were handled well because ( it seemed to me) the team held together as a unit. Doing an expedition like this, with people you have never met, is potentially a recipe for problems. However the group was a good mix, with a common goal. Whether it could be replicated is debatabl with another random set of people is debatable

Fantastic series to watch... how is Tim if I may ask? I hope he is ok now.....

Beau, I'm not sure how to word this question but hopefully you'll understand what I'm getting at. Do you think that the solo journeys you've taken makes you more interested or capable to do the group expeditions now? Like you paid your dues to yourself and figured out where your base of happiness is and now you can get the most out of the group experience? The reason I ask is simply I never feel up to wanting to explore a somewhat new experience with someone else until I have done it alone and I suspect I haven't found that foundation of self reliance yet. Very curious to hear your thoughts on the contrast of the two.

🦜🌳BEAU just watched your trainline warrigal hike and the 650klm across mountain treks & up a Gumtree etc 2020 now i subscribed 👍 great videos keep at it Been watching a bloke stan mills hiking across yellowstone ( good videos)🐻 🌄 wasnt much Aussie content appearing in the recommendation's But asian Bot musik videos 2hr ones .

Have you ever used a Klepper folding kayak?

what watch is beau wearing?

Hi Beau, I'm curious why you chose to go from the plastic kayak you took around SA to the fiberglass one for this trip? I am keen to do this trip myself and wondering if finding the 5.4m of storage space is that necessary.

More Storage always good for long expeditions

Question, how do much time do you spend filming during the trip, and how much time video editing after the journey? After I got my GoPro for a six week cycling trip across the US, I found it to be a full time job, which takes away time from living the experience while you’re in it...

Hello Felipe, Whilst I did all the footage in Episode 3, and bits and pieces of gopro and small camera footage throughout, a great deal of the footage is by Mitch Drummond- manning a GH4 Panasonic. Mitch does a lot of the rough cut work in editing, whilst I direct by way of sharpening the story ideas, writing and scripting. Yep...a bloody lot of time, and the result of collaboration! My man Mitch is worth his weight in gold. I've come to truly believe that living, and (equally) representing, is part of the experience itself- and in fact heightens the aftermath in a sense (yet I know what you mean...sometimes not having a camera with me is liberating...) All the best

I wanna know how he pedalled the kayak and did drone shots at the same time. (If it was him that shot the footage)

👍

lol "you'd like to see blood on a dead body"

hilarious... true Aussie. hahaha

so um why is this the first video on the yt channel? im supposed to watch bass by kayak first right?

The movie Black Robe shows someone doing a poo in a kajak. The native tribes laugh at the person doing it though.

Beau...You have unsettled me badly. I am 76 yrs old, and have a 16 ft. plastic sea kayak. I live on the young Murray, so it's a fair paddle just to get to Bass Strait, and anyway, I'm too old. Great video - I don't know when I've enjoyed anything so much. Keep at it, my friend...

Thanks, Kerry. You had me worried with your opening line...but you came home with a friendly tone. I'm not sure your too old for Bass...a double kayak is very fast, and you can put yourself in the front to take in the view and paddle half as much as someone half as old, in the back. Cheers for the note, Kerry.

What does Beau actually do? He travels 200 km daily to commute to his office. Seems like there’s more than I’ve been able to pick from his videos so far.

I think you should give Matt and Dan a call for another trip together... for some reason this 6 Episodes were over way too fast!!

piss in the boat and then sponge it out.

3:00 "What would you do different next time?" I'd bring my two foot shlong.

follow up question: why dont you have a 2ft schlong? :D I watched the whole trip now. Amazing. While watching I wished I was more of a sea-kayak guy but cycling across Europe would be more my cup of tea.

"About 150 kilos" (When it clearly shows 135) Good job you're pretty if you're that bad at maths ey Beau?! 🤣👍🏻

Very disappointed to hear Beau doesn't have a 2 foot schlong. This changes everything.

you guys had months to practice on the kayaks, and you didn't think to grow longer schlongs for the journey?
