Default UK Video

Hi Fingers

Saw the UK tour last night, awesome mate

Your next mission should be to produce a UK Wakeboard Video.

It would be mega.

Default UK Wakeboard Movie

We've certainly been talking about the idea for a long time now. The only thing holding us up is the funding and the time.

I just hope that after putting out a few good UK Wakeboard programmes, getting the sponsorship for a UK film would be easier.

It would be good to shoot some film on Windermere before the ban kicks in, so everyone can remember the happy times on the lake.

There is talk in the industry of an instructional DVD hosted by UK riders that would be ready by the spring next year. It would be part of the Pretty Fly series called "Pretty Fly To Wakeboard". I'll keep you all posted on that one.
