new wave video teaser . www.benwilsonsurf.com/

Thanks Ry, I needed that tonight..........still don't know whom I like better, you or him...but it rocks.

But Mitu is like Mr. Bolt who runs fast........he tops everyone.

Good to see a bit of Wollongong in there

Just watched the full 28 or so mins.
Fkn epic.
Total respect.

Yeah I watched the full version last night.....Nice juicy wave!!!
Big right handers look so good to a natural footer in West Oz.

Good to see theyre using some good aussie music on the vid.

Thanks for posting this Ry. Stoked to hear you guys like the clip, it's actually the short version & the full version will be available on DVD along with "Shades of Green" in the near future.

The day we kited the righthander we were on 5m kites wound out of our minds, it was pretty much the gustiest wind ever and it was a lucky dip every time you were about to take off on a wave whether your kite would fall out of the sky or not.

Also, check out this Day we took pro surfer Danny Wills for his first kite session -

Sorry about that, we are back up and running!

It baffles me how you can take so many brilliant riders, get such good footage, and make a movie that is so bloody awful. That was about 25 minutes of talking and 3 minutes of kiting. You cut the ends of all the good waves, you never let a piece of footage run for longer than 20 seconds, you talked through every piece of footage instead of letting the music run....what the hell where you thinking?!? This could have been SO awesome.

dude its free, im pretty sure the dvd will be less interviews and more action- but it'll cost ya

oh now I get it - so there's a teaser teaser, and then a full length teaser. I'll buy the dvd for sure, looks like it'll be great!

jesus christ ben wilson, what is wrong with you...?

you make the most boring kitesurf movies ever.

i sat through five minutes of that crap and there wasn't any kiting, oh sorry two slow mo sequences of your front side, back side air, and power to you, that was sick; but seriously, there is no way i am putting up my hard earned for a hard copy if what you have put online is any indication of the boringsville i would end up sitting through.

rylands movie, i would buy that, even if the hard copy only had say ten more minutes than what he posted here. and it wouldn't even have to be as full on knarly. it would be nice, but i understand self preservation and appreciate just watching good kiting.

the teaser is exactly that; its awesome, makes you wanna go to ben wilsons site enter an email address for his own dodgy marketing purposes, just to see more sick kiting from the teaser...

then you get sucker punched and end up using precious download to watch another god awful boring ben wilson wankathon

Doctor what the f$%K is up with you - did Wilson do something against you - you continually flame him on here - or maybe you are just jealous - or maybe you just don't appreciate good riding - or you are a twin tipper - or I dont know but something has your undies in a twist

20 other people here seem to like it and you dont - I know why dont you go buy REAL Surf 101
maybe that will be something more to your level - yawn!!!!!!!

on the contrary, i appreciate the skills ben and his cohorts have, i like watching riders like the ones on his movies so i can draw from them and try to improve my skills. he is just as good a surfer as kiter.

i'm just sayin

he should just stick to what he knows and what he does best, blowin up.

after watching the teaser, i thought, here we go finally a bw movie that is not more fluffy wankfest than kiting, then i downloaded the stream, and sat through five minutes of fluffy wank fest and saw no kiting.

i don't care how beautiful or special a tourist thinks the place is, if i wanna sit through that i'll get a t.v and watch getaway with that annoying horse face catriona.

if he's trying to recreate dramatic effect and male bonding lovey dove essence of the trip fine, just put all that fluffy wank stuff in the bonus features of the dvd, keep the movie 'moving'.

5mins of initial fluff before any glimpse of kiting in a kitesurf movie 28mins long, man c'mon

to get more movie out more often with quality footage takes alot of time, my mates vid is 15 bucks at news agents for another couple of weeks... all super quality waves....it took three years to build that .... check "Stalk 2" warning: its a lid film
Props to him he shot the stills that won this years biggest barrel in the oakley big wave awards as well..That one of Mark Mathews on that right.

Any way to the point, does ben produce the video himself?
maybe the editor/photog could have more input, coz i'm with doc, too much fluff, I just dont have that much spare time.
no big deal tho hope to see the wholething one day

Munga = bonnet monkey, also fijian for vagina...

i've had plenty of epic sessions, and i'll be back in w.a real soon

i just watched it again to make sure i'm not missing the point, i will stand by what i have already said.

the kiting is good, there's just too much wanky fluff.

when i said it took 5mins before some kiting was shown, it was actually 8mins

the end part after it said thanks for watching, then there's like a three minute segment, thats what the entire movie should be like, all the cool riding edited to flow better, keep the jovial banter but cull it to let the kiting take over.

Wrong side of the bed this morning boys?
