What did I just watch?

Unless you have been under a rock for the past 11 years then you know watching Danny Hampson and Aaron Reed ride behind a boat is nothing shy of magical.  Watching these two dance on the water brings an almost calming affect to the soul at times.  Well not this time…Dan basically just gave me a heart attack with his back to back trick selection and both Dan and Aaron’s lip tricks are a node to the Sfumato days.  Do yourself a favor and enjoy a couple ole river dogs getting down behind Aaron’s new boat.

What time is it?

Today was a good day.  Apple launched their new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and I for one couldn’t be happier.  See I paid $500 last year for a iPhone 5s 64GB and i’ve loved it ever since.  It has a killer camera and my slo-mo videos are off the chain!  Now with the ability to do MEGA SLO MO at 240fps I can slow down every wake trick and analyze the tar out of it and ultimately gain more wake knowledge right?  Apple blew my mind with the phone and then went straight for the head shot with releasing the Apple Watch.  They took a category they have never been in and will now surly dominate it.  So what are your thoughts on this invention of a true “Smart Watch”?

Best part is you ask anyone what time it is….they pull out their phone.  Apple Watch Read More >

Video Is King

 

The days of waiting ’til the end of the year for a video to drop are basically gone.  It wasn’t long ago we had to lurk the pages of Alliance Wake Mag to see images of Justin Stephens shooting a film in order to get excited for its releaseor even know that the release was coming.   Nowadays we get to stalk Sean Kilgus as he takes us through the filming process with some behind-the-scenes clips and get amped again for a physical copy to be released (Prime coming soon, yo!).  Yet I have to admit there is something absolutely magical about downloading a film like Drop the Gun.

Today, viewing content is all about the convince of my iPad and streaming video directly to my big ass TV 8 ft in front of me.  I mean…is it laziness or convenience that makes me glad that I don’t have to get up and put the disc in, or search through dozens of DVD cases to find what I want to watch because I blew it and didn’t put it back in the right case?
