We all know FLF has deep roots in wakeboarding's film history (they just posted spray online here: ). However! Their earliest wakeboarding footage was at the end of some of their snowboarding films--erich schmaltz and greg nelson both had stand alone wake sections in snowboarding films. Going back even farther, there's footage of the raddest snowboarders of the time riding on some thrusters (one of the raddest brands in my mind because I feel they represented a board rider's aesthetic at a time when the majority seemed water ski oriented--I guess we all have a side). Here's a link to "snowboarders in exile" and skip ahead to 1:11:45.
After that, you'll want to watch for critical condition, then Riders on the storm (schmaltz footage with his infamous "mutiny on the bounty" section), and then RoadKill, featuring greg on his K2.
I also think it's funny that these snowboarders were rocking uggs before anyone knew what the eff they were. It's a small detail, but steve grahm is rocking them at the beginning of the wake section. Insane!!
RAD!
