“Jalco Flow” // Feature Packraft Film (Packraft Mexico 2026)

Jalco Flow

A crew of American packrafters heads south to the legendary whitewater of Jalcomulco, Mexico - home to some of the most technical rapids in North America. Surrounded by seasoned Class V kayakers and steep jungle canyons, they arrive with lightweight boats, big nerves, and almost no Spanish. What they lack in language, they make up for in grit, curiosity, and a shared obsession with whitewater.

Set against the powerful currents of the Río Antigua, this film captures the raw energy of stepping into unfamiliar water - culturally and literally. As the Americans push their limits alongside locals paddlers, words become secondary.

More than a whitewater film, it’s a story about trust, humility, and the universal language of stoke - proving that even when we don’t speak the same language, the river connects us all.
