After much scrabbling around for a copy of Onboard, I finally got my hands on one on Friday and settled down to a long-awaited viewing of Float...
Overall impressions? I loved it. The film was beautifully done, with quality filming and slick editing, and I liked the travel section format rather than rider parts. The riding itself was great, with Silvia Mittermuller pulling off the first female 900 on film and plenty of the other members of the cast stepping things up for the girls...
It was also nice to see the surfing crossover section in Hawaii and check out Rochelle Ballard's huge surfboard quiver!
All in all an awesome demonstration of the female talent out
there and a virtual trip to some great destinations (despite the lack
of snow from last season, there's some epic powder scenes) and all for
the cost of a magazine! I hope they do another one.
You can watch the Float teasers here and here. If you haven't already, check out our interview with snowboarder and co-founder of the Float project Erin Valverde
