managed to get it done within a week.. some edited footage from two days of filming at St Clair beach of the South Island Surf Champs..
- footage shot on one camera by a handful of whomever felt like it: Me, Hayley Coakes, Tash Civil, Luke Grubb, Jay Tzu . . who else had a go? sorry if I missed you out.
I also want to say a few words about the promotion and coverage of the South Island Surf Champs this year .. I know there was a great deal of time and energy behind the scenes along with tremendous corporate and private sponsorship for the event.. congrats to the committee of the South Coast Boardriders for a sucessfully handled event... and to all those who competed regardless of their placings.
The disappointing thing to note was the lack of recognition from the NZ surf media and local media for the big event of the year for South Island Surfing.. in the ODT an article about an australian competitor with just minimal on the comp itsself. The 'big' surfing websites surf.co.nz and surf2surf.com had nothing at all leading up to the event and nothing the week since... but overseas big dollar/big name events get coverage?? I thought kiwi talent and local events would be more than worthy of a mention, or is the corporate surfing world in NZ turning into an americanised sponsorship & brand-driven elitist marketing game?

Sweet sounds and editing ,
love your creations !
keep at it
Good point Nic! I was kinda wondering the same thing. But what to do eh?
exactly.. what to do.
I have sent three 'news releases' of comps and results, some with photos to surf.co.nz lately and none have been run.. so I didn't bother this time.
... as long as we care :0)
Great vid Nic.
Also very valid points regarding the coverage.
Thanks for comp coverage.
