Annapolis, Md. — Sportskool, an on-demand sports and fitness network dedicated to providing comprehensive coaching and athletic training for all skill levels, today announced a new partnership with Heliconia, an award-winning video production company specializing in outdoor video production. 

Starting in September 2017, Sportskool and Heliconia will debut a new video series as part of the adventure travel TV show Facing Waves. Now in its sixth season of filming, Facing Waves tells the story of the people, places and adventures of various destinations on a paddle sports journey. The series launches on September 18th, 2017 and will be hosted on Sportskool’s cable video-on-demand platforms, including Verizon and Comcast.

“We are thrilled to provide this amazing new content to our viewers,” said Dave Willox, president of Sportskool. “Paddling is an area Sportskool is just starting to delve into, and to begin with stunning video footage following expert paddlers as they explore the globe is incredibly exciting. Our viewers are going to love it, especially since the Sports and Fitness Industry Association reports that paddle sports are growing at a rapid pace.”
