Scott Lindgren

The River Runner is back. Please help share and wide. 🙏🙏🙏

For the first time since our run on Netflix, we’re excited to finally have the film back on a streaming platform where you can watch it for free, now on Prime Movies

The film follows legendary kayaker Scott Lindgren on a decades long quest to paddle the four great rivers that flow from Tibet’s sacred Mount Kailash. Beneath that pursuit lies a deeper journey, as a brain tumor and personal struggles force Scott to confront his own vulnerability and the parts of himself he had spent a lifetime trying to outrun.

This film has meant a lot to all of us over the years, and we’re grateful to have it readily available again. If you want to support the film, the best thing you can do is watch it, share it with a friend, or buy it on your platform of choice.

Thanks to everyone who has been part of its journey. 🙏

🌧️❄️ What in the actual Sierra weather is going on?!
April 12th and we’re getting slammed with nearly 6 inches of rain down low and Kirkwood reporting up to 60” of snow up high… right after one of the hottest, driest Marches on record.
The storm door is still wide open with more systems rolling in.
Miracle March just turned into Miracle April!
What was shaping up to be one of the shortest runoffs ever now has a real shot at a semi- below normal year. Bizarre and honestly… pretty cool.
Forecasting this chaos has been insanely difficult, but I’m still calling it: Middle Kings likely going in June. Plan accordingly!
Throwback to Dinky Creek in the late ‘90s — over 25 years ago. Found this gem on the hard drive the other day. Such a special place. The High Sierra has so many incredible spots that never get old.

Today I retired a board that’s been with me through so many good days on the water. Got it signed by one of my favorite shapers — the legend himself, Persona and vibe transcends in person. 🙏🏄‍♂️ 📷

P to B on one of the greatest whitewater stretches in the lower 48 today—with an all-time crew. South Yuba is firing right now… get it while you can, because this window won’t last long! 🙏

For the past several years, our family has gathered around a fire on New Year’s Eve—a quiet, sacred tradition that has become the heartbeat of our celebrations.
There is something profoundly magical about firelight. So many of the most cherished moments of my life have unfolded in its gentle glow. As I sit there, my mind drifts back to the countless campfires I’ve been blessed to share in wild river canyons with extraordinary people. I remember the stories we’ve told—raw, hilarious, heartbreaking, and inspiring—each one rising with the sparks into the night sky. I hear again the music that has filled those spaces: guitars strummed softly, voices harmonizing under starlit domes, laughter mingling with the crackle of burning wood.
There’s a deep, almost ancient comfort in the heat of a fire. It feels cleansing, like it burns away the weight of the old year. It heals, soothing the soul in a way little else can. In that circle of light, connections deepen; masks fall away. We let go of what no longer serves us and open ourselves to whatever lies ahead.
I’m reminded of an old truth: we truly walk through fire with those who matter most. And in their company, we emerge renewed—stronger, clearer, ready for the new year that waits just beyond the embers.
Here’s to the fires that warm us, the stories that bind us, and the people who make every moment around the flames unforgettable.
Happy New Year. May your fires burn bright, and may you share them with those you love most.
