For those who haven't seen it on C7 here is my video from Brazil. I'm really happy with the final result as I have been planning the video in my head for the last 6 months. The (heavy!) inspiration comes from a section in a ski movie called Refresh by Level 1. I knew I had to do lots of filming of people singing so I loaded the song on my phone before leaving, this meant I was always ready if the moment arose.
Anyway enjoy :)

New Sponsors and Western AustraliaSaturday, 15 January 2011 15:37 | Written by Al Bentley | | |
Great news - I have two new sponsors!!
I've been using the K3 Masts for the past 3 months, in Brazil and now here in Western Australia. They are working really well with the Severene sails and are great for freestyle being super light and responsive. The top layer is coated white which is super useful for preventing UV damage. Although this isn't usually a problem in the UK.
Silte is a new clothing company started by my good friend Adam Sims. Check out their site as they have some sick stache like the interchangable watches.
In other news I am now in Western Australia with Maeli, have been here for a week now and the place is sick. Will do a proper update soon but for now think warm, windy and wavy.

Ok so I am sure no one want to remember the months and months over the last winter/spring of no wind but a friend of mine has helped me put together a few clips from my Turfdogging. I mainly wanted to show that you can definitely learn every sliding move on the Turfdog, even stupid stuff like quadrupole spocks! There are also moves that aren't (yet) possible on the water like the reverse.. see if you can spot it! Last Updated (Thursday, 14 October 2010 09:30) |
Back in the UKSunday, 26 December 2010 01:00 | Written by Al Bentley | | |
I'm back in the UK now for a few days, bit of a temperature shock walking out of the airport terminal in flip flops onto the snow! We were very lucky to have such a smooth trip considering the majority of flights had been cancelled, and as always TAM are amazing to fly with windsurf equipment taking it all free of charge. I can definitely recommend them if anyone is thinking of flying to Brazil with equipment. Its great to be back home to chill for a few days, next we are heading out to Perth on the 5th of Jan to take part in the Lancelin Ocean Classic. Looks like an awesome event check it out below: http://www.lancelinoceanclassic.com.au
Keep an eye out for my Brazil video which I'm currently putting together! |
