WIZARDS OF OZ - the aussie windsurfing DVD - preview!

Its up on youtube! - go here:


See homegrown aussies and international guests ripping the surf to bits- Scott Mckercher, Ben Severne, Luke Johnson, Timo Mullen, Luke Walmsley, Jamie Cobill - even King of da point! (rippin!)

filmed in a not so secret NW WA location along with bits n pieces from around oz and the globe.

I think you'll find some jump, carve and air punting inspiration here !

(its a 12mb file - so go have a cup of coffee or a beer while it downloads - if yer on dial up - go watch a tv show for an hour!)

its not that legendary 90s band the Hedonists!

Its Wilfred G Buggy recorded at their first ever gig - Mojos in Freo off 2 camera mics synced and mixed for a fuller sound! Was doing a live music vid for them - it turned out pretty good too.

So much good original music out there!

Check out Jamie's tweaked aerial at the end of the preview- pretty sick ay!

Ah I'll just have to wait for the revival....

yes some very nice lips to smack. Makes yeaterday's session at Gerroa seem quite tame, not the same projection off the lip NWA but sooo much fun 4hrs of waves, as Borat would say "it was a lovely"

Keep bustin Matresses mate!

Does the footage of Luke.J show him passed out after one can of Woodstock? (to his credit, it's the 440ml Premium can).

The U tube format actually shrinks the file size signifigantly - so its prob more like 1 or 2 mb - but pretty average quality -

Pity i didnt have the camera for the goitre (off the back of the wave)i saw luke do at the Nats this year - i dont think he even got his toes or straps wet!

FOOTAGE REQUEST

If anyone is sitting on footage that you think should be in the OZZY DVD i would be keen to look at it - and edit / soundtrack if its worthy. Its very difficult for me to get all around oz - it would be great to have some Gerroa , mid NSW , Vic and QLD footage - as most of my stuff is WA and Hawaii based.

I know there are local shredders at all these spots - i would especially like to unearth the less known guys that go off (like Pat Redman etc)

Please PM me if yer keen!

nope! its all for the glory!

I do believe in Paying for talent but the revenue has to be able to sustain the outlay for a project like this to be viable.

If it all goes well i would be happy to pay for top quality footage in the future!

(most of plug and play was put together with donated footage- many productions are put together with footage "swap" deals between cameramen/ editors- which keeps the projects relatively cost neutral)

I would love to unleash the fury of Gerroa George (2nd at last nationals and a great sailor),Tim, Wazza Holder, Dan berry, Shane Finnigan, Marris Naish (any more SA crew rippin?),

Chris Party /Simon Peters/ Pat Redman (those margies guys bust mega lifter up and under tweaked aeirals on waves that would see many of the PWA riders out on the shoulder)

not to mention locals here in WA like Juzzo Stock, Ben Arthur, Orthy, Blue Juice Mike (all ripppin some great turns at Scarbs)and of course more Jaeger/ Hendrix - Stoney's sailing pretty good too. And about 10 other locals rippin it up on their day!

You guys have probably heard of Shane Morriss , Tim Carr and Langy? - all capable of punchy airs and multiple sail away wave threos (on the same wave - seen it myself!) Luke and Ty are both sailing a bit again and can match anyone on their day.


Its not uncommon for Euros to be blown away by the standard of wavesailing here from crew they have never heard of - Aussie talent is practically invisible on a world scale- i would like to change that.

Hey Matt, one of my mates has a bit of footage of Pat on a big day at margarets. The video quality is fairly average but the sailing is amazing. We are down south for couple of weeks but i'll see if he can post it on u tube when we get time and you can check it out.
