It's been nearly 3 years since Team Hyperlite has gathered to document their skills in a wakeboard film. A project has begun to do exactly that, featuring hammers dropped by Rusty, Murray, JD, Ruck, Rathy, O'Shea, Grubb, Schwenne, BT, Nicola and Jimmy LaRiche. This film promises to deliver a perspective never before captured in a wakeboard film. Director Keith Kipp, a former Hyperlite athlete, has an advantage when he's behind the lens because he's spent time in front of the cameras on his wakeboard. For the next 6 months, he and his crew will be spending time at different team's homes, in their backyards and in their faces to grab the necessary footage showcasing their talents, their personalities and their antics for you. Get ready for a ground breaking film with a hard hitting soundtrack featuring the A-Team, brought to you by Alliance Multi Media & Hyperlite Wakeboards!

In a time when videos were starting to become standardized. Similar tricks, editing styles, swapping big name riders on the box cover. Our team decided to step back from the traditional approach of media saturation. Hanging somewhat low from seasonal videos, to wait for a DVD that will live up to its confident title. Instead, they decided to make a movie that makes a difference - the right way, the long way - the hard way. Thru 3 cadaver surgeries, several other round trip tickets to the hospital and many sleepless nights chasing the elusive "missing hammer", out team finished a movie that sums up why they got into wakeboarding and wakeskating. Each in their own way with distinct personalities they all felt the pressure and motivation, as tricks from their friends/teammates were being captured on a daily basis.

Producer Ronn Seidenglanz and his Sidewayz crew have released what may be their strongest film ever. “Such is Life” is wakeboard and wakeskate handiwork from Sidewayz films. The movie features landmark wakeskating footage and unforgettable wakeboarding.

Shot in lakes, oceans, snow and a few less likely places around the world, Out of the Pond showcases the Billabong team pushing the limits of wakeboarding.
