Track 1: Devon Dreams

Filmed in North Devon this track features many of the local Croyde talent ripping on some of the good days of early 2003. This movie was created for ODwyer boards on the Sunshine coast as a contrast for the warmer weather surfers of Australia.

"There was a bit of a rush to get this completed before a visit to Australia, but it turned out well with lucky weather at Easter and a good swell cranking" said Mark Brindle who filmed and edited the track.
"We expect to use the sequences for a later surf movie release that includes more footage from around the UK".

"Its good to see the Poms getting some surf...it certainly looks cold though" said Michael ODwyer as he reached for his stubbie holder to stop his beer getting too warm.

Filmed on DVCAM in 16:9 widescreen, with audio mastering and Dolby ™ Digital 2ch and 5.1ch mix by MANIAC films.

Track 2: Sunshine Surfers

Filmed mostly in Mooloolaba on Australia's Sunshine Coast, this movie shows local surfers Heath Mortimer and Michael ODwyer making the most of the fickle summer swell. Victorian Surfer, Paul 'Chicken' Dyer performs on some of the better glassy morning sessions.

"Summer is always a bit flat..and the cyclones up North (Queensland) create havoc with the normal offshore morning surf..but can generate a great swell" said ODwyer.

"I usually surf Winki Pop in Vic" said Dyer "..i wouldn't get out of bed for some of the surf we've had here..but the cameras on!"

"I love the soundtrack" said Mortimer, "We haven't heard C-14 in Australia and its good to hear some UK tunes"

Filmed on DVCAM in 4:3, with audio mastering and Dolby ™ Digital 2ch mix by MANIAC films.
