Fly In The Champagne Re-Premier For Local Surf Teams

Monday, May 04, 2009

The highly anticipated surf movie featuring Andy and Kelly, "Fly in the Champagne", re-premiers* in town as a fundraiser for the SBHS and SBJHS surf teams. It all goes down this Friday, May 8th at 6:30pm at the Marjorie Luke Theatre @ 721 E. Cota (on the SBJHS campus.) Admission is $10, there will be live music, refreshments, and of course a raffle with good surf swag. Checkout the details and trailer below.

The rappers would call this a collabo. A sophisticated gentleman would call this a stunning collaboration. Surfers call this the most anticipated surf dvd in a long time. Kelly Slater and Andy Irons. Two weeks in Indo. Big budgets. Expensive cameras everywhere. Heavenly. A Fly In The Champagne, the latest surfing dvd from Irons Brothers Productions, gives us what we want - the best surfers (Kelly Slater and Andy Irons) in the best waves (Kandui Resort in the Mentawai Islands). Beyond the ripping, the movie also documents the fierce competitive rivalry between Slater (9X ASP World Champion) and Irons (3X ASP World Champion) that has brewed for the past decade. Even the two biggest surf companies (Quiksilver and Billabong) teamed up to help put together this movie.

(*You may have heard of previous premiers of Fly in the Champagne, but do not be fooled by imitations. It was pulled after a few showings (including one at the Arlington in February) to do some re-editing and now it will be back in the wild again.)
