Featured Riders:

Mauricio Abreau, Flash Austin, Jim Bones, Jack Webb, Shannon Best, Max Bo, Nina Heidberg, Fadi Issa, Adam Koch and many more...

Featured Spots:

Nearly Kitebeach only

Playtime:

Over 1 hour + DVD extras. The DVD case says 145 minutes (I couldn't find the last 40 minutes).

DVD extras:

- "Select a rider": starts the Video right at the place where the rider is shown (Play the movie shows rider after rider)

- "Edit a scene": Switchable angle between land, water and Jet-ski camera for certain scenes. Selectable songs, too.

What I liked the most:

- Wakeskating sections (Wakeskates are wakeboards without straps or bindings)

- Very short section with kiting on a hydrofoil kiteboard (only seconds long)

- Nina Heidberg :)

- Analyzing fast wakeboard tricks is easy with the DVD version and slow-motion function of your DVD Player

- Pretty long playtime

- Niccolo Porcello - very young kiteboarder - kiteboarding better than I will ever do :)

What I did not like:

- 95% Wakestyle kiting only. I am riding a wake, but like to see other aspects of the sport.

- First 30 minutes (can't really tell you why)

Conclusion:

This is definitely not a must have video. It is nice to watch, but due to the focus on Wakestyle kiting and only on mainly one spot it gets pretty boring. The footage is nice and professional, but the lack of diversity leave a bad taste after having seen the video. I recommend it for the riders who buy every kiteboard video, anyway, and the riders who love wakestyle kiting and analyzing tricks on videos.

Kiteboarding Magazine has a different impression in issue July 2002 page number 26: "....gets you amped to ride".

around 29.- USD for the Video, 39,- USD for the DVD (sorry, I'm not sure about this. There is no pricing information on Tronolone's Website anymore).
