Quick video clip of our time in Oz

Just a short clip that gives a flavour of our time in Phillip Island. We had a good time while we were over and would like to thank everyone who extended us a warm welcome. Also thanks to Jim Brown and the crew for putting the time in to organise the event.

Good times, new friends, warm water and waves - not great waves but at least we surfed everyday.

Hopefully there is a lot better footage out there than I got I'm looking forward to seeing it.

nice work
as a local, the roads, the city drive by, the colours, the waves, it all looked very familiar and tells the story well.
I did the walk down to Pyramid Rock for the first time last week, as you did but I did it on a day that wasn't raining.
You saw the Island on a bleak rainy day and it probably reminded you of home.
Winter would have given you much lower temperatures nearer 10C and then you would have been home sick.

It was great to meet the kneelo mag crew.

Hey Dunc,
Great Video. Loved to see what we've been hearing about. Glad you had a good time and home to see you at the 2013 worlds. JT and I will be there for sure!
I know the US team had a great time also (and some still are...LUCKY).

Nice editing, mixing in still with video, Dunc. Hope there's more to come to help us get a visual feel for what took place. Where was all that surfing before the contest began?

That's pretty much all the footage I got. I left my big camera at home as I rightly assumed there'd be a hundred lenses there already - looking forward to seeing all the pictures.

The distant surfing on there is on the inside at Woolamai. I should've got in the water with the camera to get better footage. Mind you with those rips I'd have needed my passport.

The home bed is definitely better than the pod. I thought the thing might go over on storm night. We were camped at Woolamai behind the surf club with a sail up! The bogan monster in the room below never helps with a nights sleep either

I bought the lurgy back too along with a healthy bought of jet lag. I'm going to try and get in tonight but i'm not looking forward to 8 degree water. The weather while we were there was great a bit of variety always makes a pom feel at home. Shame the waves wheren't a little bit better.

Just been talking to Bryn about Kneelo Mag 4 and getting him psyched up on everyones enthusiasm. It won't be long. Any pictures or submission ideas are always welcome.
