Weve added a short video of the out takes when we made the new DVD for Point Breaks - this has ended up being the menu loop on the DVD. Music from The Good Time Charlies used by permission.

Original PointBreaks 2003/04 promo

Simon demonstrates the light epoxy surf board Superscreamer in action at the Estuary

"The helmet cam certainly got put through its paces - being flung about on the Superscreamer at 100 mph !"

"We had a great day for filming the surf lessons - the surf wasn't too big for the beginners - and the sun was shining, which always helps"

Filmed in widescreen (16:9) MANIACvision, with audio mastering and Dolby ™ Digital 2ch mix by MANIAC films.

"This promo DVD is great for me to send out to prospective clients" says Simon Twitchen of Point Breaks. "Its professional and entertaining and really helps sell my business especially to corporate groups who want a multi-activity weekend"

Watch the sample Quicktime movie below or watch Simon catch a few more waves in the photo gallery.

"Simon was a natural in front of the camera so we didn't need too many takes" says Mark Brindle who filmed and edited the sequences.
"Simon knew what he wanted and who his target audience were and then left us to get on with it".

Simon went on to say "I am extremely pleased ..and would recommend MANIAC films to anyone wanting to promote thier business ..it has helped me to show my clients what Point Breaks are about and why we might cost a little more then the competition :-)"
