This video has seen the most positive responses of all the video's we've done over the years and and I have received hundreds of messages the last few days from all over the world but I have to share this one I received last night which sums up the intention of the movie.

"Hi! i am from argentina, so sorry about my english.
I saw your video, and I want to say that is honestly the most beatiful video I saw about our sport! considering that we are a 30 people that windsurf in Puerto Madryn, patagonia, 2 days a week all year, and that i have been living in spain for almost 10 years, sailing also in jericoacoara Brazil, I can say that i am love this sport! i saw a lot of videos but I HONESTLY WANT TO SAY TO YOU: THIS JOB YOU MADE IS VERY NICE!

hope to see you there, and of course, do not esitate to visit us!
keep on!

Just realised what the shot of al and Benny reminded me of ( sorry it's been buggin me for a while;). The one where they are standing there on the edge of the cliff and the chopper comes up in the background............Thelma and Louise. Thats why I keep expecting them to reach out, hold hands and jump.
Excellent piece of work apart from that little plagiarism.

I didn't want that to end because I was scared I'd race home and leave a note to the wife and kids saying "off to WA - see you in a couple years" . Well done on a lovely expose of WA's famous playgrounds.

They did hold hands a while, but didn't jump.

That sums up what I though of it too - really good windsurfing but also the scenery ad lifestyle and it just made me wanna go rig up even if there is no wind. Just somethign about it.

BUT thanks very fkn much for showing it to us all in March, when the season has carked it, now I am hanging for bloody October again.

one of the best local vids I have seen,

Surely with this sort of quality we can do our own windsurfing movie!

Short Film festival contender?

We have the mercury cinema in Adelaide, that from time to tim show extreme sport movies, usually snowboarding, parachuting etc, I could easily see this slotting into the fixture.

Well done Col
