Ultra Sport Ad' Shoot

Last Tuesday I met up with some members of the Liquid Force and O'Brien UK wake teams to shoot for their upcoming adverts to feature in Alliance. We convened at Princes Club in Ashford as I was still onsite taking down from ThinkTank, but unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. In actual fact it was horrible, with rain and very dark skies making it a challenge to photograph, but I do like a challenge! So after setting up some lights and dressing up in my waterproofs I was joined on Cable 1 by Conner Jones and Matty Crowhurst from O'Brien, and Ollie Moore, Zander Jones and Charlotte Bryant from Liquid Force to get some snaps.

Even in the bad light, it's always good shooting with riders from Ultra Sport, they are an incredibly professional team and understand the work that goes into a photo shoot. I had them in waiting around shivering in cold wetsuits for a couple hours while I moved around the cable setting up in different locations and not one of them complained or moaned about a thing.

It was definitely a testing shoot but we got what we needed. So keep an eye out to see who get's the ad's in coming issues of Alliance this year, and pay extra attention to the new O'Brien advert because there is a very special board coming out next month that you will want to see.
