Last week in various windsurfing forums, quite a few people were asking about The Windsurfing Movie, as people were wondering aloud when they'd be able to see it on the big screen or DVD. We saw this as an opportunity to contact OG Puffin (and producer of The Windsurfing Movie) Jace Panebianco to inquire. Jace responded thusly:
We've just finished with our release at the Maui Film Festival where we played to over 3,000 people. It was amazing! Some reactions:
"The Windsurfing Movie is the rarest of extreme sports documentaries - one powered by jet fuel made of equal parts adrenaline, heart and soul. It's the definitive film on the history of the sport."
- Barry Rivers, Director, Maui Film Festival"The adrenaline packed "The Windsurfing Movie," made great use of the 50 foot screen and Dolby Digital sound, and gets my vote for greatest "score" of the fest."
-- Harriette Yarr, www.indiewire.comIt was a great night, a real home crowd for us. The place was packed with windsurfers!
Regarding the DVD release and the pre-order special, patience grasshopper. Our DVDs are going to print this week and should be done and out in one month, call it mid-end of July. The first 500 orders will get the T-Shirt and the Movie Poster, so its a pretty cool deal for those willing to pre-order.
We're getting ready for the July 1st Premier in Hood River. Robby Naish and Kai Lenny will be on hand to present the film, there will be giveaways and a raffle, a benefit for the C.G.W.A.
We're still aiming for the beginning of September for the NY premier.
Hope you are all getting on the water!
Aloha,
Jace
Thanks, Jace. We are getting on the water, and look forward to seeing you in September, and perhaps even get you on the water for a hometown session. The Peconic is going off at this very moment...NW 23!
