WA seems to have some pretty good setups but thats a bit heavy for the average joe.

"Sure man, I know."

"Then tell me, dude."

nope see post 3, could harp on about exposing spots but unless you live anywhere near the joint you probably don't know where it is and it never gets crowded anyway, good to see someone give it a crack on a kite

I had to watch the vid again...... ORGASMIC....... The only adjective to do this video justice, especially 1 min 4 sec......... when you are riding toe side and you turn around!!!!! Even though there is a big wave there. MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC !!!!

Keep the vids coming, coz you have some really crazy sessions you 'sly old fox'

Yeh I know where this is and man I wouldn't be going out - and strapless!! Pure crazy, big kahoonas - I mean small BWS's.

Nah don't think I'd even get out even if I tried, impressive - although let's face it the wave is absolute **** (it can get good) but who would want to ride such sucking puss.

Hey anyone out there ridden cobblestones?

Now I got a bit frustrated with constant barrage of BWS posts, but you gotta admit that was a pretty sick taste of a crazy session.

You can post more fo that sh!t any day

And lets face it, nobody else is spending a heap of time filming stuff, so at least someone is providing some filthy entertainment.

Thanks for sharing Ryland - that's certainly one wave you (anyone!) would not want to get caught by.

In response to the cries of "pimp!": I honestly can't see how that clip was pimping. All I saw was some nutter having a go at a nasty nasty wave!

The pimp part is the close ups of the kites for 1/2 a second or so for no real reason.

This is called seamless advertising (also called product placement). It works great for the brand and the viewer unless the viewer notices it as purposeful and intentional.

More and more people will become aware of the purposeful nature of seamless advertising that a brand is producing if the technique is repeated in every video that it produces.

This may annoy an increasing number of viewers and take the gloss off a great little vid and/or the brand.

It's working for me. At the start of all the pimping I was considering buying an 8m, now I am being turned off of the brand by the constant ads and all the talking up going on by the 'too cool for school' riders...If I was Ben Wilson I would be taking a good look at what is going on, as believe it or not, not all advertising is good for business, as some might say.

In this particular clip, I counted a total of 1.5 seconds of the "product placement" in the whole 1 minute 21 second clip. The close up I assume was when the kite was flying and fit in with the "flow" of the story I thought. Sure it is intentional but I can't see how it is out of place, out of context or excessive.

Let's look at this another way - should we never see the brand / make / model of the kite, lines, bar, board, harness, wetsuit, hat, sunnies, boardies or anything else these guys are using? If we did that there would not be a whole lot left to see...

Folks are free to feel what they want about the brand as a result of the brand / rider actions, but this clip is a long way short of crossing the Seabreeze pimping line.

Disclosure: BWS is not a sponsor of Seabreeze. Everyone and anyone is welcome to (and does!) post clips here that do not contain excessive pimping. IF you feel a post is pimping please use the report button located in the header of each post.

1.5 seconds, 1 video a week, 52 weeks a year gives 1min 18 secs of "Product Placement" a year, my guess is that many of the video's have more than 1.5 secs.

Just sayin

Plus they seem to sit a the top of the list a long time, oops not helping am I

Don't really care but it only seems to be the BWS gear that we see, come on other manufacturers jump in

mmmm I have no probs with the video and the product placement. With one, comes the other.

Do you live in a box, a cave, underwater maybe? Is your utopian world of kiting socialist in nature. Without advertising, without promotion, we would have an oligopoly of very few manufactures making all the kites. The very nature of free promotion gives the small to large kite manufactures the ability to get their message out there.

Are you scared you might wake up in a BWS trance, head to the local retailer, walk out with a 3 kite quiver, then wake up in horror at what you have done!

If they spend resources filming, they are entitled to promote. It is the way of the world, why does everyone get so fired up!!

I wouldn't care if they were riding any brand - don't care. Won't buy one until i have tried one anyhow. And anyone who does deserves what they get.

Sorry I just don't understand the fuss...

Very, VERY well said Eppo. This whole thing about pimping/advertising/product placement is all ridiculous. How can you have a kite board video without Kites and Boards, Harnesses.

Have a look at Seabreeze, there are ads to the left and ads to the right.

Give it up and enjoy the vision, or just don't click play.

What a waste of time.

U guys seriously suck! Who gives a s*** if they r pimping or not... Does it really impact ur life that much to hav a whinge on here every time a new vid is posted?
Maybe u guys shud go fly a kite sometime.
I appreciate the skills on display as much as I appreciate the editing these vids demonstate.
Ffs, there are worse things going on in the world than 1.5 seconds of bws advertising!

Eppo,
Spot on mate.

I too are sick of people bitching about pimping.

It's these guys business'. It's how they live.

Pimp the f&^# up and make some cash out of it.

Keep posting cool Vid's of all brands.

(except for the one of the Core sweatshop factory in Sri Lanka - that was just depressing!)
