Hey iandvnt,
The kiters were Kirsten Boese, Sky Solbach and myself. The kiting footage was shot back in the summer of 2004/2005. We did a one day shoot. Clive had been down in Maragrets and saw Sky ripping as he was way back then at Redgate Beach where most of that footage was shot. We met up a week or so later and went up to Lano and Wedge where he wanted some twin tip footage. The stuff he wanted was specific, close .... like really close, so big air was out. It was a fun sesh and he was happy with the results. Come to think of it, I think I may be the only Aussie in the fillum.
Clive is a friend from 10 or more years back and his movie has been a real work of passion, he was editing and mastering the footage for the best part of 6 years. He's a passionate kiter, windsurfer and surfer and has lived an extraordinary life. Everyone should go see the film. It's a beaut. The opening POV of surfing scene is amazing, puts you right in the barrel like you are really there. So much fantastic footage that you won't find anywhere else.
