Film Fest - Cairns Adventure Film Fest
The Cairns Adventure Film Fest is back again, they've just launched a new website and are calling out for entries in a variety of areas. Check out their CAFF website, and read below for the low-down on the event.
The Cairns Adventure Film Festival, now in its third year, is
Australia’s ONLY adventure film festival that celebrates specifically
Australasian and SE Asian-themed adventure films. Be it films made in
Australasia or SE Asia, about these regions or by people from these
regions – it’s all about celebrating the depth of talent and love of
adventure that resides under the southern sun.
We’re looking for stories and narratives – tales that connect with a
viewer and move through from the idea of a challenge through events as
they happen to a conclusion – all in the outdoors. We’re looking for
characters – people, adventurers that we’d want to know about, and a
look into their lives and what they do and how they achieve it. And yes,
we’re looking for killer shots, vision of people doing amazing things
caught on camera that will blow us away.
Monday Morning Motivation - Something different.

Now it's not kayaking, but I found it quite entertaining. Will get a few kayaking related posts flowing over the next few days as there has been quite a bit happening around NZ and Australia. NZ Open is this weekend in Mangahao too, if you're close by worth heading along to see a bunch of the world's top slalom racers.
Monday Morning Motivation - Summer Freestyle Sessions

Well it might not be summer in the UK currently, but I've stumbled across this short video of World Champion freestyler James 'Pringle' Bebbington and a few others shredding a little hole somewhere in England.
Monday Morning Motivation - Kakapotahi
Kakapotahi FS-100 tester from WestCoastFilm on Vimeo.
One week till Christmas, but Cumec designer Dave Kwant (2AT Design) has got himself a present already. The new Sony FS-100 video camera. Judging from the quality of this quick test clip on the Kakapotahi there's going to be some high quality films coming out of the coast.
Review // Teva Mush Frio - Light and Tasty
Jandals; a quintessential part of NZ summer attire (thongs for our Aussie readers). They're a staple on the beaches, around the barbeque, or for a quick skip down to the dairy for a Frosty Boy thickshake.
Teva's take on the jandal the 'Mush' has been around for a few years, and has been popular with those wanting a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing jandal. Unfortunately as Teva recognised there was always a day at the end of summer when it was just too cold to wear your jandals anymore, or that maybe you were trying to get into a pub with a dress code that just didn't quite make sense. "What do you mean no jandals?"
Enter the new Teva Mush Frio (or Flyweights). A shoe that takes the best features of your favourite pair of jandals, and blends them carefully into a stylish and comfortable shoe that is almost as light as a pair of jandals.
