Big Windy is a new kitesurfing movie featuring Moehau Goold, Davey Blair, Reo Stevens, John Amundson, Josh Mulcoy, Mauricio Abreu, Ian Alldredge, Bertrand Fleury, Marc Ramseier, Guilly Brandao, Tuva Jansen, Kristin Boese and Pete Cabrinha.

It was filmed by John Bilderback and Alexis Bilderback in Micronesia, Polynesia, and Indonesia.

Ben Wilson is regarded as one of the most influential wave riders in the world. The film is entirely focused on his surf style approach to the waves, not comparing it to surfing, but showing it as an extension by using the kite to whip him in, like a jet ski would a surfer, then killing the power of the kite and using the power of the wave to ride the wave. The entire movie is unstrapped and shot all around the world. Also featuring Mauricio Abreu, Moe Goold, Joel Becus, Jeff Tobias, Ryland Blakeney and Josh Mulcoy.

Running time – 35mins, plus heaps of bonuses

The film’s title is a reference to those magic days when you score the perfect combination of wind and waves. The film contains a collection of footage of some of the world’s top kitesurfers smashing waves and getting barreled in exotic locations from every corner of the planet.

Supported by a cast of the usual suspects including Grant Baker, Jake Gordon and Martin Vari just to name a few.

“Kitesurfing – a comprehensive guide with world champion Kristin Boese” is a complete learning program for kitesurfers of all levels. Divided into 4 different chapters (beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert) the viewer can either follow the progression by playing the entire DVD or quickly jump to the desired chapter and/or trick. While this DVD covers all moves from body drag to the first aerial handle-pass it does not substitute a kitesurf beginner lesson (taking a lesson with a certified instructor is strongly advised by the author). All tricks are shown from the riders perspective (from behind) to make it easier for the student to think through the moves. Slow motion and split screen pictures are used to illustrate key-points.

By offering this DVD for an extremely affordable price Kristin wants to give kiteboarders around the world a tool to improve quickly and bring kitesurfing closer to the masses.
