Friday,December 4th, 2009
Shark Club in the Sandman Hotel
2852 Douglas Street

The room seats 20.

Anyone that has a laptop with TV outs willing to bring it there? If not I have one but it's old and essentially sucks.

Open to ideas like demo gear being brought down to show off.

Hi Todd, here is a list of DVD and VHS tapes I can bring (if people want to watch any). I don't know if someone own Space monkey II but if you do and come to that night please bring it with you:)

VHS:

- Red Bull King Of The Air; 3 days event in Maui packed in 30 minutes video. 4 lines kite were not invented yet:) 2 lines kites with extremely wide bar!!!

- Strung Out; Been a while I have watched this, not sure if it is good or bad 2002

- Un-Hooked; Kickers, sliders and some wave footage Early stage of it I guess? It doesnt say the year it was made. 33 minutes

- Power zone II, The Power Trip; My favorite VCR kiting video.

And now for the DVD:

Small Craft Warning; Not sure if there is still someone who didnt see this video, but I'll bring it just in case!! (have an extra copy in VHS if any taker)

Sick Day; Not sure if there is still someone who didnt see this video, but I'll bring it just in case!! (have an extra dvd copy if any taker)

Un-Hooked 2; Been a while I've watched it, but I think I prefer the first one.

Awake; My favorite DVD made in ??? year. 145 minutes. (you can see 4 lines kites but 2 lines also, strapless stuff with shoes and skateboard kind of board etc..)

Video Evidence; Windsurfing dvd, I know i dont windsurf but i loved to watch what these guys can do, very good dvd.

Snowkiting DVD:

Something Stronger; My favorite snowkiting dvd (not video, Ozone and Chasta make the best Snowkiting video!!!), unfortunately it shows a lot of new school but there is still lots of old school stuff to. Image quality= Extremely GOOD!!!

Dimension; It is the part 2 of something stronger. Lots of wake style/new school this is why I like it less than something stronger. Image quality= Even better than the first one.

That is it, hopefully other people will bring movies to or good recomendation for online stuff.
This is a good idea Todd, cya next Friday!!! (or earlier if its windy)

Great Idea Todd. I would be into that. See you there. Best videos I have seen lately were a few from F-one on vimeo and a great one called shades of green from Ben Wilson Surf.
