Well dont worry you don't have to choose... you can have both :)
So far you've been spoilt by the 'Playboy' dreamy look at windsurfing this winter in Western Oz Courtesy of 'Windsurf Australia' Awesome.. best i've seen for ever!

But now its time for the 'Readers Wives' look at it... rough around the edges but dont worry all the bits are in the right places or close enough! haha
Hope you enjoy...

cheers Ben

That was sick!

Awesome action - with moves like that - how arent you getting better PWA places!! I am sure you'll put it together real soon.

After seeing the awesome moves on that i think i am a Readers Wives kind of guy. Content is king! I Felt like i got to know some of the characters too.

Now i'm boosted to go sailing - going to be an epic easter in the desert!

Seems like too much fun to be legal.

Hope you time the return after the body is ready and its ready soon.

I used to wonder why all the flies gathered round me in Australia. Flies gather round what?

Turned out I was the only one not using a sunblock with fly repellant in it.

I've actually been to NC.. a while ago now. It was when i was still doing the olympic class (Mistral imco). 1999 i think.. we had a worlds there.
We got taken out to a reef to go for surf... it was in the middle of nowhere, about half hour by rib. I went out... got stuck on the inside, cm deep water and got absolutely smashed!! haha.. top place though!

I think its about other videos being effectively too good to be true, ie airbrushed or in this day and age, photochopped and After Effected . However this one is the real deal, ie who you wake up next to in the morning.

Yep.. sorry... it was because i was having to follow the very polished awesome Movie from colin. All really well filmed.. all quality footage and looked crazy good. So it was kind of hard to follow with out making some excuses first. I was just trying to say mine wasn't like that.. but would still be fun to watch!

...and yes.. afterwards i did think... 'hmmmm... maybe it wasn't a great comparison!' But it was too late then!

Love your video Ben. You are making some big moves. I was gutted to hear about your accident.
You always have fun here in Australia, are you going to take the citizen test?
