"Cold Feet" explores the waves of the Victorian coastline
Friday, 17 September 2010 17:20

Cold Feet: one of many wolf bodyboarders

Cold Feet: It can mean so many things. Is it having second thoughts on making a firm decision? Is it the feeling that creeps into your bones during the colder months of the year? Like most expressions – you can always take it at face value.

For this trip, for us – it means all of the above and more. It starts out as just a title, a Google Tag to attract the public to what we are trying to express. It continues on to explore the deepest thoughts and inner feelings that each and every one of us is bound to experience whilst taking part in this 10 day adventure across the rugged Victorian Coastline.

This is not the first time some of us have made this trip, however we still feel strange being in such different surroundings. For those that are making the voyage for the first time – the endorphins are about to be released. With some aid from family and friends – we as a whole are about to embark on what will hopefully be an adventure that will open the window of opportunities for others like us.

We are not professionals – nor are we attempting to be. The five of us all do share however, the same passion – to ride waves. We are also blessed with hidden talents that combined have formed the purpose of this documentary. With cameras & keyboards packed firmly alongside our selection of boards, we hope to portray to you, your friends and your family that you don't have to be at en elite level of this sport to take advantage of what is on offer in terms of good waves and good times.

Across the next few weeks, we ask you to engulf yourself in the adventures that we encounter as we head over 2000km south of our origins. To step outside our comfort zone and experience situations that may come across as a little challenging as well as down right hilarious… all in the name of scoring some good waves…
