  • "This is the Sea 4" on the big BIG screen



    It was quite exciting last night to drive down the street in Chicago and to see ‘This is the Sea 4’ written on the cinema screen near Geneva. Especially as tomorrow night Davey Jones from the Monkees is permorming there tomorrow night! Obviously he saw that it must be a worthy cinema if they have a great kayaking movie there the night before!

    It was a fun event, hosted by Geneva Kayak Centre with over 100 people attending. It was great to see “This is the Sea 4” on a HUGE screen. When I took a photo from the back I realized just how BIG the screen was.

    The San Diego event the night before hosted by Aqua Adventures was also great, with a similar number of people showing up for food and beer provided by Jen of Aqua Adventures. And we had a great days WARM surfing in a shortie cag on a wonderful reef break surrounded by pelicans…….

    Before that we had a wonderful drive down the California coast with lots of beach and cove walks.

    I’ll write more later and post pictures, I just have a brief internet connection over breakfast on the way to the airport. next stop Florida!

    THE SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE

    The premiere tour of “This is the Sea 4” continues to go well, with 2 countries, 3 American states and 5 showings in 9 days! I’m tired just thinking about it!

    We had a fun paddle in windy conditions at Half Moon Bay yesterday followed by a showing of the film. Thanks to Andy at Golden Gate Kayaking for organising it and to everyone for showing up! Thanks also to Yoshiko and Russ for putting us up for 2 days and looking after us really well!

    We’re rented a car for the next few days and are making our way down to San Diego in time for a premiere there on Thursday.

    There are a few more reviews of “This is the Sea 4” appearing in various languages.

    SAD TO SEE SHAWNA AND LEON GO HOME TODAY!

    It’s been a busy few days, with a premiere on Orcas island and one in Seattle, both with good turn outs. Plus a great paddle and a nice walk in the San Juan islands. Thanks a lot to “Body Boat Blade” for driving us down to Seattle, and buying pizza and beer for everyone who attended, aswell as organising the San Juan islands premiere. Thanks also to Seattle Raft & Kayak company for providing the venue. Last night we stayed with Nigel and Kristen Foster and had a look around Kristen’s wonderful ceramics studio. Thanks to them for hosting us.

    We were sad to leave Shawna and Leon from BBB today, but are excited to head south to Portland for a premiere there tonight at the Mission Theatre. I’m sitting in the theatre now, 15 minutes before people arrive. It’s a great venue with a huge screen, lots of seats and a bar!
