..no sound track, you have to visit them, and they don't often make you smile. ![]()
.. or ..
watch the best kitesurfers in the world rip up exotic locations around the globe (with a sound track) .. $50 .. bargain.
You get out of them what you're looking for... if you want to improve, watching how the best do it is a good start... ![]()
had a look at the trailer - looks like a pretty classy production to me.
there is a cool "story behind the DVD" here:
benwilsonsurf.com/
comments from the likes of Dave Kalama and Mick fanning couldnt have been easy to come by!
yeah some crew will download it for free - but karma will sort them out. flat tyres, lost wallets, snapped lines etc etc.
Maybe a $10 itunes download is worth considering for the producers? That way every one is catered for - but then you only get to watch the movie in kook mode (ie sitting at a desk watching it on a computer screen) - unless you are saavy enough to burn a low quality dvd
I reckon they will sell plenty of DVDs though - good luck to em!
Milko, those barrels hypnotized me. How can one get that many barrels??
I guess the first time we saw fake boobs we didnt believe that either.
If you wanna start analysing payment and finances for the movie... I hope the movie maker is paying the royalties/licensing fees due to the music producers in the soundtrack.![]()
Nice one dude, from that trailer looks like you are the stand out. Your someone who actually makes it look somewhat like surfing and makes you (kinda[;)) wanna go do it.
side note:
To tell you the truth I havent been at all impressed by various "pro" surfers turn kiters waveriding skills of late, they surf unreal but as soon as they get a kite they are just another kiter.
Just proves that just because you are pro in a sport that is very similar doesn't mean you will be a pro kiter.
Anyone can go out and hack a lip kiting, but it takes finese and practice to do it right.
You have obviously put the time in over the years and progressed and improved your style.
If thier was such thing as a "pro kitesurfer" i think you would be as close as it comes.
Fool me once (Unkown Road) shame on you Ben, fool me twice, (SMACK) ...shame on me
I am not paying another $50 for another 30 minute flick ..........

getting back to the kiting...
i agree with rowdy.ryland rips i watched him schralping when i used to live in perth,hes got flow and smashes the bejeepers out of every section.underated if you ask me.
30 mins is about as much waveriding as anybody can watch before falling asleep.
bottom turn, top turn, bottom turn, carve, cutback, bottom turn.... yawn... ![]()
