Bones Brigade the Autobiography - The start of modern Skateboarding

The most eagerly anticipated doccy since "Dogtown and Z-Boys" is finally here. Made by Stacey Peralta, the same director, the movie spans a decade when a crew of young skaters changed the face of the sport. The movie is available on Itunes and if you are lucky like myself and a few others, you get to watch the SA premier at the Labia this Friday.

When six teenage boys came together as a skateboarding team in the 1980s, they reinvented not only their chosen sport but themselves too - as they evolved from insecure outsiders to the most influential athletes in the field.

Captain Kai's World on www.2ov.fm - Big Wave charger, Chris Bertish and Movember SA

Chris Bertish is one of very few have won the Big Wave event at Mavericks.

This week's radio show had a very positive feeling and I chatted to two men with projects that are helping the world and us men. Chris Bertish was on the show to promote his new charity adventure, crossing the Atlantic on a SUP (Stand Up Paddle Board). This is to raise funds for kids in Africa who need meals for school. We chatted big wave surfing, the up comig O"Neill Pro in Santa Cruz and of course his upcoming documentary, Ocean Driven.

Garen from Movember South Africa was in studio to give us the low down on this marvelous annual event and how guys and gals can get involved. To start your Movember campaign just go to -

Birdmen: The orginal dream of flight - Wingsuit Film

This is a trailer that made me want to find the film and watch it immediately. In fact it is actually downloading as we speak! Watch the trailer and see why...

BIRDMEN: The Original Dream of Flight TRAILER from Team Thirteen on Vimeo.
Birdmen is a documentary film about the dream of human flight becoming reality. For millennia, humans have looked to the sky and dreamed of arcing through the air, like birds. And now, after hundreds of thousands of years, humans can fly. It is dangerous, deadly, and requires years of training, but a select few have committed their lives to the pursuit of the purest form of human flight: Wingsuit BASE Jumping. 'Birdmen' follows the dream of human flight, from its inception in ancient times to the modern world. What started with stuntmen hurling themselves to their death from objects such as the Eiffel Tower has become a respected extreme sport in which athletes zoom through the mountains at 150mph, just inches from trees and cliff faces. During the film, professional wingsuit pilots Ellen Brennan, Mike Steen, and Matt Gerdes escort you through the inspiring yet tragic history of their ancestral birdmen and then show you the cutting edge of human flight in the year 2012. Matt, Mike, and Ellen are some of the most talented wingsuit pilots in the world – during the film, they pioneer new wingsuit flights in the European Alps and experience the highs and lows of a flying life. Finally, the future of the sport is envisioned, where scientists in Switzerland explain how pilots can soon achieve perfectly balanced and relatively safe flight paths using cruise-control autonomous systems and small engines. 'BIRDMEN' is the first documentary ever made that covers the past, present, and possible future of the sport.

Waiting for Lighting - the Danny Way Documentary

I have been waiting a long time for the Danny Way documentary! The man has led from the forefront of skating for over 2 decades and introduced the world to the Mega Ramp concept. Many of his peers have been documented and had their stories told over the years, but finally we get to see the whole Danny Way Story in - Waiting for Lightning.

I will definately be hoping for South African premiers of this film and will keep you guys in the loop!
