Isolated - NZ Body Board DVD Review



Oh My God... I managed to get my hands on a copy and I must say, Hadyen Parsons you the man. I know that some of you are Lid haters but you really need to watch this vid. If not for the action, for the assortment of quality waves filmed all over NZ and around other well known holiday escapes. The action in Brief is fantastic with some unbelievable power moves and sick arse barrels. Ryan Hardy is one of the Aussie imports in the DVD and really leads the field with outstanding moves and total smooth riding. I can see how he is a cut above the rest.

Waves- there are some amazing waves that if you were unaware you wouldn't believe they were in New Zealand.

Riders- I didn't realize that there was such a strong crew of riders throughout NZ. For a sport drawfed by Mainstream Surfing Industry Kiwis really do field a lot of talent.

Editing- Hayden and co have done a great job of putting this film together. I really enjoyed the fact they stuck to the action with great scenery shots without too much other crap. (there are some crazy Cliff jumps though which I thought were way out there and deserve to be in the movie)

Music - Fantastic start and great Genre changes. There are a few oldies which I thought were different but still great.

Overall I must say what the fuck is the rest of the stand up producers doing. This movie kicks arse on many other surfing films I have watched from NZ producers. It has it all. If you are a Body Boarder you will be stoked from wo to go with great action If you are a Surfer you will be yelling stand up you kook but you have to respect these guys for what they are doing.

Things to watch for are Ben Mckinnon popping an invert air right at the beginning. How he punched the Lip and then landed it is beyond belief, Don't get waves like that in Wanganui Bro.

5/5 top class hope you guys do something in the Surfing scene as it would go orrffff.
