Hi,
After a few late nights and windless days....At long last the doco on last year's Speed Fortnight is complete.
Runs about half an hour and feature interviews with Tony Wyn, Daffy, Spotty amongst some of the other crew.
Just wondering what people would like to see happen next?
eg a screening somewhere? Where? When?
Let me know...
I am MORE than happy to buy a copy Mick. I'm also sure Sam at Wind Surf N Snow would be happy to put a screening on after hours one night for the NSW boys....well i hope he would anyway
Definately a screening for us locals!! I don't think it is unreasonable to charge a small fee for those who want their own copy - a LOT of work, time and expense has gone into it!
Formula Nova: I don't know, you sort of caught me by surprise... ready already?
ha, ha, I can literaly smell the sarcasm, peeuww!
Can't wait to see finished product :)
Take it on the road
Speed Fortnight - only on show at threatres with windy beaches!! If its blowing more than 15 kts show is cancelled.
hi mick dad is keen to get a copy he might ring or contact you some time to see if we could get a copy sent,that would be great !

I guess I would have to agree with Andrew, us non-Victorians would probably buy a copy. Only the one, mind, and then we would duplicate it by the thousands in a little shop nearby...
LOL
It's going to be showing at the sandy point pictures this friday night folks, so get your girl friend ready for the big date. Its only going to be shown at windy towns sorry folks
any complaints take it up with Kato
Flipper how many more posts till you are banned again????? You are REALLY starting to ruin this forum for me.
hi all,
keep the suggestions coming...
at this stage I reckon I'll put the opening sequence up online for all to see....then for those who want more, I'll offer it as a DVD to be sent out to all the interstate speedies. The trouble with offering it as a download is that it is then considered a broadcast, and therefore we'd have to pay music royalties that'd cost about 10 times more than the cost of the doco!!!
I'm guessing we'd be looking at something like $25 plus postage for the DVD. Does that sound reasonable???
I m keen on a screening in Vic- maybe one at SHQ cafe and one at Sandy Point. I like Kato's idea of screening it at Speed Fortnight..although it seems a long time away.
The last thing Im waiting on is the licensing for music..once that's sorted its all system's go!!!
25 bucks?? thats a steal when most windsurf dvds at SHQ are 60 dollars now
but drift can you please give me a free copy cause i am your friend
and tell the guys here i am not a nasty troll, please drift i am a good man, or you tell em kato please 
,dont play da snob kato and sailquick dont tell me it did not blow over 30 knots at the pit today cause i think it would of when it blew well over at the prom, so what did you get for your speed time???
where is old salty when ya need him will some one tell thease fellas i am a good man
me sad scott no friends
I am here Flip. I must congratulate you on a Good post the other day with the YES sails. That was very good for you. But FLIP - WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH YOU?? You run more cold than hot[}:)]
Now Drift - $25 is too cheap. I know you are trying to look after your mates but this is your fulltime occupation. We do not want to see you running around in rags. Or not being able to come windsurfing with me because you could not afford petrol. I would be happy to pay $45. Or charge a commercial price and give a discount to Seabreeze trolls no no I mean members. Are you going to retail it through the Windsurfs stores around Australia?
im i on it? did u speed my part up and slow jhonny miller down ... no need u say !!!
I"LL buy a copy for sure how much mick ?
in all seriusness well done mick!! thanks for taking the time .... I'm sure you've done a great job of the edit I'm glad i'm in stills
and the models are better looking 
fair call, when it's your job the i didn't know that line goes out the window.

Sorry to further disappoint you mate but it didn't get over 20-25 here at the pit Friday arvo. Didn't last long and the tide was well in so no speed sailing. Rule of thumb for the Prom readings is to subtract about 10-15 knots for a WSW direction to get a rough estimate at Sandy Point, but it can often be more and varies a lot.
I noticed in the VIC section there is a film night scheduled for the premiere of the docco. Is there anything happening in the other states? Are we going to be able to puchase a copy anytime soon?
I'll talk to Sam Mick and see what he wants to maybe do.
I'll get back to you soon.
BTW, should I go with Max Markson as my agent? I was hoping he could introduce me to Lara
