Fantastic effort by all those responsible in NSWKBA for putting on a top night. Was good to see 100plus kiters in attendance. Great movie Ryland...hope to see more stuff from you. It was definitely worth the long drive to Mosman

oooooooohhhh controversy[}:)]

Cheers for putting it all together, was great to get in a social:)

What do you want me to say?
I haven't seen the movie so I can't comment... But I was at that left in real life and a I can tell you Ryland is probably one of the best, if not the best kiteSURFers in the world. I haven't seen anyone attack a beast like him.
So if the movie isn't up to world class standards I don't know what to say really other than, one dude with a family a job and no international backing tried to make a video of his journeys and this is what you got. With all that in mind my guess is it's a pretty sweet movie. It is what it is.

I'm not suprised they had a bad turnout in Sydney. It's so hard to do anything there, i've heard of people turning around and going home on the way to a wedding because the traffic pissed them off so much. Can only imagine how many people would bail on going to the movies with their mates every single day in such an awful place.

yeah that was me, and it was my wedding!. My ex still bangs on about it everytime I see her. Bloody traffic

3825ing well said 2868
Anyone who uploads that DVD or ones like it for "file sharing" is a real 2868.
It was an honest fair dinkum, good KITESURFING DVD with a good edit and good soundtrack, I'm pretty amazed that hardly any were sold.
Hopefully the shops will get behind it (we will have it available online tomorrow) for $39.95.
There were about 140 people at the showing which was a good turnout.

just got back from indo so just read this. sorry u didnt enjoy. i guess u cant please everyone and everyone has different tastes.
few replys to your comments
*as for the videography i think Shannon did an amazing job and think his videoing and eye for filming is one of the best around- probally why Ben Wilson used him to film and edit alot of his movies.
*As for crediting Shannon he was credited in the trailer, on the dvd cover and in the credits so i dont know how much more i need to do there. along with some other great filmers.
*lastly i guess yeah if you enjoy watching the pkra and kpwt videos then yeah u probally wouldnt enjoy it! cheers for the feedback anyway.

Thanx guys great evening, amazing I didn't think there were so many kiters in Sydney. Pity the movie did not live up to expectations. Maybe the large screen showed up the poor videography. Noticed there was no credit for camera op. The Gnarly waves did draw some crowd reaction. other wise quite uninspiring. I'd rather watch the PKRA wave event again

thanks to all those who went along, hopefully u enjoyed the movie and had a good night. thanx again Ryland
