Home Sickness

Ben Newson (AUS-23) from Perth, Western Australia is a 28 year old firefighther and windsurfing addict. He likes wavesailing and has been competing on the PWA tour since 2011. Ben has been in Europe since May and is already a bit home sick, missing Australia and waves. Now he edited a very nice clip, which shows some of his best clips he collected during his journeys.

Enjoy some footage from the last 2 years wave sailing in Australia and Maui. It was mostly filmed with a canon 60D and a go pro Hd2. I used Adobe premiere pro cs 5.5, Photoshop and After Effects to edit the video. Its called home sickness because I’ve been travelling for the last 5 months and started making the video on a smellly ferry going between Feurteventura and Tenerife. As I started going through the clips I had the combination of fumes, the rocking of the boat and watching epic waves made me want to go home. Bring on summer. – Ben Newson

Kai Lenny for Contour Cameras

Another video of Kai Lenny. From vimeo

Heres a video I shot on Maui with waterman Kai Lenny using the new Contour Roam camera hacked to 60p. I also shot some 7d footage with a consumer lens(75 to 300) to dummy down the image. Kai is the standup paddleboard world champion and he’s like 18 years old. All around he’s an amazing athlete. We didnt really get any swell but he sure did a lot regardless.
