Awesome. I received a demo copy of this DVD from Mick @ DriftMedia and it left me with the widest grin and have made it available in the online store for you.
Hopefully, you'll also find the passion of the characters in this video will leave you smiling, and fired up after watching it.
Copies are available in the Seabreeze Shop, and I think you might be able to grab it instore at RPS in Vic, and WindSurfnSnow in NSW.

Enjoy .. Lozza
p.s. Great to see Hardie in the DVD too. ![]()
Laurie, just put an ad for the DVD up as a banner. It seems to work. Right now I am wanting to buy an Apple TV. I am not sure I need one, but the more I look at Seabreeze, the more I seem to want one...
I am even now thinking I need a new yamaha outboard, and I don't even own a boat!
Already ordered my copy from Laurie. Kinda chuffed to see I made the front cover in name at least, certainly wasn't expecting it.
Have you seen it yet Dale? Are there lots of out takes?
Does that inspire you 'Formula Nova' to actually get on the water this year? ![]()
There are a few out takes (apologies for my language people) and heaps of extras - unused footage and interviews and stacks of photos which feature the location and some of the "personalities"....
Another trailer is here, but actually, I don't think much of this footage made it into the final cut.
In the movie there is a great comment from Spotty about how difficult it was just to hold the board and sail steady to get started. What many might not realize is that he is behind the sand dune at that point where the wind was about 15-20 knots less!!!!
I managed to get started there, but when I bailed out at the end of the run, there was no way I could lift the 4.4m sail into the water start position without being thrashed and trashed! I drifted downwind bobbing and swallowing wind spray and fighting the rig until I was nearly exhausted. I finally managed to half drag and half sail myself back to the bank. That was the deciding factor in the end why I didn't try a third run.... ![]()

can some one promise me some wind![]()
will be happy with 15knots![]()
Mate, I would not like to promise any more (look what happened last year!) but you would be very unlucky not to get a few days of 20-30 knots, even if the wind direction is not ideal. I can't remember a speed fortnight when this was not the case....
Any way it goes, it will be great fun! ![]()
