Well... Where do I start? Should I even start??? Big question, but I'm bored so I will.

1. Music said "epic film" - footage, edit and composition definitely said otherwise.
2. Washed out effects, general look and vibe of the brand didn't fit at all with music or what I felt was the intended composition of video.
3. Riding was mostly sub-par weekend warrior level.

Final thoughts - I would have been mildly impressed and given kudos if a kid had posted this and said that he made a video for art class at school, sadly they didn't... Would I watch it again? Not a chance.

Rowdy... How about you post one of your "epic" videos and show everyone how it's done.

Take a few deep breaths, and don't let the world get you down too much. ( maybe even play the video again and just listen to the music... It may help you relax a little)

Well for one Im not a major kite brand, with a budget etc. and secondly, my really ****ty kite vids (which they are) still contain better riding than this vid... which is supposedly the "Team vid" for a whole year for a major kiteboarding brand. Pretty weak in my opinion.

p.s. But hey I guess if all you wanted to see was lifestyle shots and people giving each other high fives and driving in cars you probably would have been impressed with this. Obviously it's not what I was expecting.

Yeah man, I'm boasting that I can do better than a bum checked top turn hooked in on a surfboard... Pretty massive boasting.

p.s. Actually small known fact, I was the boasting national champion in 2011 and runner up in 2009.

Hahahaha cheers Damo.

Just to be clear here, some of these people in the vid are my friends and I know they can ride, so obviously I was expecting to see at least a little something.

Take for example this video. (Even without judging the riding.)
The music fits the film and the edit is very good, there's a theme and it's easy to follow what's happening.
This is the type of stuff I would expect from a major brand with a budget.

Hats off to Cab and Dre.

^^^ nice ARSA. Was it done by the same person? I feel like it was.
Music choice again was good and the riding was obviously 100% better than the other vid. I like the concept for this vid, but again I don't think it really worked properly.

Whoever shot this in my novice opinion, needs to stop putting that cr@py after edit over all the clips, it makes them look terrible. Also far to many twitchy angle changes for my liking. But hey, thats just what I think.

Not exactly what I would classify as entertaining, also I care little for seeing new Best kite gear... but hey everyone is entitled to an opinion.
I'm glad that it at least entertained someone! .
