Green as Grass is a project I've been planning for about three years now. I've been working with Flysurfer kiteboarding for some years. They have some of the best kite landboarding team riders out there. Among them my good friends Lennart van Schuilenburg and Yusca Balogh. In the summer of 2011 we finally got the budget for a road trip. Destination hard beaches and freshly mowed grass fields.
We drove down to the north of France kiting at Boulogne-sur-Mer, Le Tréport and Omaha beach. After a week of kiting we headed to England. We tried our luck in Cornwall but the strong wind from the wrong direction and heavy rain showers forced us to move. We headed to Southampton where we stayed for a week. We had excellent kiting conditions and the guys were able to throw down some of the best moves seen in the sport.
After two weeks of traveling we had enough material for a 6 minute movie and over 350 photos for the magazines. The project was shot on Canon DRLR's and edited in Premiere and After Affects. Color corrections were done in Magic Bullet Looks 2.
