One of the handiest sources for DVDs is the front of surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing magazines and a few years ago, windsurf handed my a free DVD called Escape from Pressure. You can download the film here.
Apart from the fact that it is one of the greatest windsurfing films made – I don’t think I am alone in saying that – there’s a great music sound track. It’s as a result of Escape from Pressure that I wound up searching for a track called Escape from Pressure on iTunes (it’s by the At Home Project if you’re interested), and also buying an album by Uusi Fantasia. All obscure music that is a) brilliant and b) unknown here.
Watersports DVDs are hot for this kind of stuff. The Billabong Odyssey DVD came with a free freestyling DVD called Customs which I’ve watched more often than I have the one I paid 27.99 for.
There’s some great stuff on the kitesurfing DVDs as well. One of the Cabrinha ones, Catalyst, has really good stuff on it and Cabrinha have thoughtfully put most of that online if you want to see it. They also have a short clip for their 2010 gear which has a terrific track on it which I’ve so far failed to identify. Click on 2010 Switchblade and feast your ears on something or other.
