Shake it.
Also…took a short video clip of this visit to the local river swimming hole. First time playing with a Canon SLR in video mode!
Quite a while back I was asked to contribute to this guide book that was being produced in far away Europe…it’s been a while in the making but The World kite & windsurfing guide is finished, printed and is now out and available to buy!
It was really great to be a part of this massive guide book that features over 1,200 of the world’s best spots - it was even greater that I got to show off the awesome waves I have right on my doorstep (well a short drive down the road anyway!) and even greater still was being featured in a publication alongside some of the legends of windsurf photography (like John Carter, Jono Knight, Darrell Wong to name a few!)
My photo’s are the top two on the Taranaki New Zealand page!
To get your own copy in New Zealand just get in contact with Alex over at Gaastra.co.nz The book is featured on the home page as well as the Euro specific version.
Semi-Permanent 2010 ! Yes I was there….thus giving me a proper reason for the late pic this week, or rather last week
The photo above is of the big screen at the superb New Zealand leg of the great Semi Permanent design event. The image itself was orchestrated live by none other than the legendary Storm Thorgeson (if you don’t know the name check the link and see that you definitely know his amazing work!). It took a couple of attempts to create the piece that was simply entitled “4D Fuck Avatar”. A small example of Storm’s fine British humour and his willingness to express his thoughts on the way things are. Great stuff
And yep if you look close you can even spot me in the crowd, haha! (pic is also up on my Facebook if you want to tag yourself on there)
