This is a bit of a departure from the usual SMWI* (Saturday Morning Workout Inspiration) clips but no less inspiring. The imagery on this short film is stunning. This video was filmed in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin in cranberry bogs. This extreme sport is called winch boarding which involves “being pulled by a large machine while on a skateboard, surfboard, snowboard, or other type of board.” Don’t quit on this one too early.

I never knew how a cranberry bog was born – I loved this!! As for the Red Bull extreme sports events – some of them seem to be too dangerous for my taste, but I love cranberries!!!

Laughing. You didn’t like the winch boarding? Here I’m trying to inspire you to work-out with winch boarding, and you are off thinking about cranberry cookies, cocktails and snacks. Come on. Which part of SMWI* was lost here?

Um…I’m inspired? Yeah, that’s the ticket. It’s a long weekend and as soon as I get Bogey settled, I am off to find a space where I too can go winch boarding, dressed in Red Bull logo-ed clothes, standing on a Red Bull board and feeling the wind in my over-caffeinated-I-laugh-in-the-face-of-danger head. I think I’ll have another cup of coffee first though. Oh, and if you want to go first babe, please – I claim no need to be first.

Yes, I couldn’t waterboard and stay standing in my bathtub, but this was something that was just that – interesting and beautiful

kind of an extreme way to make a cranberry relish, but we all have different talents in the kitchen–loved the night-time finale though

Great clip. I guess when the snow melts they just switch to cranberries.

Have always been fascinated by cranberry bogs, and these guys are clearly talented and inventive (I, for one, would never have thought of winch boarding in a cranberry bog, but it makes for some wicked cool imagery). Just not sure I’m good with them playing in my breakfast food…… 😉

Cool, but…where will THOSE cranberries be going now???

You are likely drinking them right now for breakfast. No different than squishing grapes with feet in wine production. 🙂

Happy Saturday! Amazing imagery! I love this clip! Would love to try but I am with the ore commenters; don’t like mixing my food with extreme sports activities. I’m sure I will remember this clip during Thanksgiving! Thanks for sharing David. I surely learned something new today about cranberry bogs.

Hi. Never thought about the lasting memories of lavishing cranberry sauce on turkey. Let me know if the memory returns. Have a good weekend.

I don’t drink Red Bull but presume they have a cranberry flavor and this is a promo. Nice catch Jennifer…

Beautifully done – perfect music and timing. Great talent on the board, behind the camera, the winch and the artist who constructed the rails, from some good looking trees.

Yes, not a amateur job, this one. Excellent production all the way around.
