So first, you have to head over to the community to view all the NWWSA Wakesurf Open runs, lots of GREAT wakesurfing. We are starting to transition most of our “community” based info/blogging and stuff over to the community, but we will still be using this blog to publish our podcast. Here is the link to the videos: http://wake9.com/nwopen
We also created a really fun video of all the best wakesurfing tricks from the open and compiled into one, and added slow motion effects so you could see the detail of the tricks. Use the same link above to watch it, or enjoy in this podcast.
We are tired, and taking a bit of a rest, but we will start having video and photos for you to see sometime on Thursday. Stay tune to the home page of wake9.com for where to see them on the site. For now, we thought we would post the podium stream. This was recorded directly from the stream that was broadcast live on the internet during the podium presentation. If you were online, this is what you saw.
We are here, and hoping to have a great live broadcast today. We have had some interference at times, but we should be ok. To view the broadcast, just …
So its time for the first wake9.com Quickie. What is a Quickie, well it is basically a quick contest where you submit video. On this quickie, you can win one of Wake9.com’s special industrial Camera Mount for your boat and your handheld HD camera. It works on any camera that has a tripod mount underneath. We had fun with this video/podcast, I guess we like to be stupid on occasion, maybe too often.
NOTE: No need to BEAT RJs video, its just an example of a great recovery. We want to see your recovery vids, and we will judge them apart from RJs for the prize. You may submit up to 7/6/2010. Have fun!
Here are some pictures of the camera mount and how we mount it to the fiberglass, it is rock solid. You will win a BRAND NEW one of these, minus the camera.
If you would like to provide a prize and sponsor one of these quickie contests, feel free to contact me. We will be doing them several times through the summer.
Just Use the Contact form at the bottom of this post, after the video to submit your video from any service like Vimeo, Youtube, Google, etc.
Please use this form to submit your recovery video to us.
So RJ finishes all of the competition video and stuff, and so now he has a few videos under his belt and is editing podcasts quite nicely. It is fun watching him learn a skill, he has caught on very quick. He has watched me over the years, but he still has picked it up faster than I expected. So he asks me if he can make a recap video of the entire event with music, photos and video, putting together all he learned. Works well for me, we can put it on youtube, and use it to point people to the entire Festival Archive. So he does it, I don’t touch the computer, only give him verbal pointers. He did a great job, enjoy!
We have been working on this for 2 years. It was the founding idea behind wake9.com. We are very excited to finally announce this, and can’t wait to see it play out.
