White Caps Photography

Last Fri night was the premiere of the Windsurfing movie II, Joel Ryan and RPS arranged for Jason to come out to Melb and introduce the movie.  He did a quick chat about fins at SHQ and then onto the movie in Brighton.  I had the chance to interview Jason which was really interesting hearing about what he thinks about Victoria as a windsurfing destination, moving from moto-cross champion to windsurfing, and also surfing Jaws and how he survived a 3 wave hold down and nearly dying etc etc.  Will post interview when I get a chance in the meantime check out some pics - http://www.whitecapsphotography.com/apps/photos/album?albumid=9692597

Results and photos are out for the 2nd Green Island speed week.  http://www.greenislandspeedweek.com/results.html

Congratulations Kelly Morgan!!

Ok, so I overslept and missed out on going to Sandy Point which would have been pretty good this morning.  Figured at 20kn WNW that someone would chuck a sickie so I headed for the Bay but alas no one was out.  :(  Surely on a WNW you can sail Aspendale or Green Point????

In the meantime, let me post this pic.  Apparently Target think there is a Longboard Revolution happening, (or was happening in '78) all for it, let's hope there's lots of bums spreading the word 

Very happy overall with the story - it covered the history, the characters and the technology.  You know, whether its the movie, the Age story or just being out there, what becomes apparent to me is the characters always stand out and for me that is what makes the sport special.

A few things not happy about - credit to photos should have been White Caps Photography not me (this was clearly specified).  And whilst I said I am learning to windsurf, am not sure I said " (I'll) have to up her competitive edge if she

wants to battle the boys."  LOL.  Gotta love the media.  Notheless, a big thanks to Katie from The Age.

It was great to see the sport in mainstream media and get some exposure......maybe some newbies this year at Sandy Point?

Have yet to see it but there is a story in the Livewire section of The Age today!  Great to see the sport is getting exposure at this level in the media.  Well done Craig Hollins for initiating story.  Hope they picked some good pics.....

Good luck Cam, guys and Kellie!  Hope you get some good wind and great times.
