woah! whats up with the vid? looks awsome, wakeboarding useing the huge waves, that sweet! but howd they get that in with all the military stuff, were they really doing that there?

25 minutes, it should be called a wakeboard 'short'. At least they are offering it for a more respectable price of 9.95.

If you want to learn more about what we did there check out the editorial in our September issue. Yes, we did play with all the toys.

Personally I don't think the video sends a good message. Glamourizing war and its killing machines....
I think its just terrible...
I was especially sad to see Charpe there.

You can't be serious...

Agreed. You can't be serious, Justin.

Given the frequency that I make the trek from LA to SD and see those "killing machines" on training exercises I would probably lose control of my car right off the freeway if I caught a glimpse of some sick boarding right off the shoreline!

Personally, I can't wait to see the vid.

So what your telling us Justin is that you hated every war movie that has ever been made. Stick to the chick flicks buddy. The trailer is sick!!!

it looks good. for 9.95 i would buy it, just to see what its all about. At least its not a $25 video that has the same tricks that every rider is doing.

Sorry guys that's just my point of view...don't think glamourizing war is cool.

Samuel, I do like some of the war movies but most I do not. Most are made from a one sided view.

Joe, I assure you that the video is real and they had access to all of the gear (and much more) that was depicted in the trailer.

It was a blast doing it!

Justin, war is a part of civilization - it happens - we must be prepared.

As far as all of the gear that we used - I have a lot of friends that hooked us up.
