Strait Up: The Lost Art of the Approach

Strait Up is an adventure documentary that tells the story of a world-first kayaking and climbing expedition. In early 2018 a team of 2 Alaskan ladies and 2 Australian blokes set out to become the first to kayak and climb across the Bass Strait, from mainland Australia to Tasmania. Known as the Everest of sea kayaking to Australians, the Bass Strait is a gnarly stretch of water that few attempt at crossing each year. Then, they added on the challenge of packing climbing gear and setting sights on establishing first ascents on some granite sea cliffs. These 4 young explorers are just your average goofy dirtbags with big dreams and killer senses of humor. The film follows their journey of bringing back the lost art of the approach, and reminds us that exploration isn't dead.
