Wild Tracks

�9 cars, 2 jet skis, 11 riders and 36 boards hit the roads of Western Australia for the ultimate windsurfing adventure. 21 days and 6000 kilometres later, they have scored perfect conditions at almost every spot a windsurfer would come to Western Australia for� I must admit, the first couple of times I watched this video, I was nonplussed.

Overall the video is visually exciting, though it lacks some of the polish and flow of other videos that have been released over the last couple of years. Still, it is very watch able and entertaining...
