Well the next lot of sea breezes have finally arrived but luckily i snapped my board on the first day of them. Anyway i've seen most kiteboarding movies but i thought it would be cool to have a poll and people rate the movies they have seen.

My list

1.) Dream
2.) Ten 4
3.) Autofocus
4.) Awake
5.) Spacemonkey's 2
6.) Slingshot Video
7.) Spacemonkey's
8.) Unhooked
9.) Unhooked 2
10.) Zero 3

By far the best movie I have seen would have to be FUnK

I would agree with Magilla if I had only seen the trailer...IMO its overrated. Although the surfing action in the last 15 minutes is pretty cool.

Spacmonkeys 2 is without a doubt, the best. A bit short but really good wave riding!

Autofocus from what I have seen is pretty cool if your totally sliders and kickers. Some insane footage. A mix between this and SMII would be really good

I havent seen unhooked 2 although I hear it is fairly short.

Fire Away 2 is right on par with movies prior to spacemonkeys 2 (has most of the free style stuff from SMI and II plus heaps more)..plus its australian....PURE GOLD. FA3 is coming apparently.

Awake...old school (most of which happened to be wake style by the way! Lou, mauricio, bert etc doing slim chances, mobes, surface passes, raleys S-bends etc on 2 line kites mainly).

Unhooked...old school

Cheers

Only seen Spacemonkeys which was wicked I thought.
Anyone know of anywhere that hires out kiteboarding movies?
Would like to check them out before buying.

surf f%#kers is kinda crap. kiting is average and the other parts are a bit substandard also, but it is funny. I am hooked on AUTOFOCUS at the moment love it, love the sound track love the feel, nice work ACL

yeh that movie is good milosh but not enough freestyle action

if ya wanna take some inspiration into kiting from other sports, watch taj burrow fair bits, the chopper seen at supertubes is insane.
he knows how to take a sport to the next leveel, also does tow ins on jet ski in a wave pool insane.
dont be surprised to see this guy kickin it on a kite when the surf career winds up.

I've seen most of the list.

Yeah Spacemonkeys is cool.
Spacemonkeys 2 has a lot of padding especially the aircraft bit.
I really like awake and zero 3.

My fave at the moment by a long way(which also has a lot of padding but is out there) is Snowkite addict.

This is taking kiting up a huge notch. These guys take (snow)kiting to such a level that it makes kitesurfing look tame.

take a look at www.semnozkitesurfing.com/data_htm/set.htm and download a few of the vids and you will see what I mean.

Keep it up
