[PT-Pushing the boundaries]

NOT a new Taylor Steele movie nor Jamie O'Brien and his Red project - it's Bali Strictland and the BBC who have pushed underwater videography to a whole new level. The venue: Palikir Pass - only recently exposed to the surfing media - on the South Pacific island of Pohnpei. Using a $100,000 high speed camera operating in super high definition slow motion at 20 times the speed of a normal HD camera. XXL 2005 Monster Barrel winner and all-round charger, Dylan Longbottom, was captured in ground-breaking detail threading his way through 12ft South Pacific perfection.

	It was good, but not THAT good. Watch the Blue Horizon movie if you want truelly mind blowing cinematography. Also if you want some real stoke grab a copy of the latest Carve. It has a free DVD called The Power of Three. It's about big wave surfing in Ireland. I watched it last night and it is truelly inspiring.

	let's hope it works out for the locals, revealing this secret spot. As the South Pacific program showed, humans can destroy or live sustainably, it's up to us.

	That had me hooting at the TV ( it's been that long since any waves on the East coast!!) the underwater shot with the wave rolling over was incredible.

	That video is incredible, looking through the wave to the surfer and the breaking wave from below, WOW. It's all beautiful, really captured what surfing is about (for me that is). Just when you think you've seen it all eh! Thank you MSW for bringing it to my attention.
