Ant Baker's Good Call!
Are you familiar with a series of ‘comic’ TV ads and bumpers from a certain Aussie lager? We hope so because, as it’s Friday, here from his recent El Tur clinic Ant Baker and his cobber Tim council a distraught customer… More at www.baker-academy.com
Hey cool down guys, this is a spoof, the main joke being at the wake boarder/ kite surfer, "all the gear/no idea" thing (they only (I am pushing this line a bit) do it cos windsurfing is too hard) with their ridiculous shorts over the wetsuit gig, I mean who are they kidding. I wear a helemet and do not take offence at the ad, I remember back in the early 70s (I was about 6) when my Dad was made to wear a helemet in order to ride his Honda. Life evolves as does H & S…
This is such a mad sport you have to treat it as fun, I mean where else can you let rip jump high, carve a turn with out the probability of major injury?
Cheers and I pray for wind!
Haha, funny as. Spot on boys, set me up for the morning. Also, I get the feeling that the name Mattias will forever remind of a helmet.
oh and are you german Mattias as this would explain a few things….
it always cracks me up when people spend the time moaning about wasting time????
hi guys
i would like to take the time to appologise to anyone who wears a helmet as it was said as a joke, please accept my appologise.

I guess my sense of humour is elsewhere. I'd rather watch reruns of Monty Python's Flying Circus or take a clinic. That's well invested time. But I'll never get back the 1:11 I wasted on this crappy video.
I did however laugh at Homesick's Darth Vader joke. You should write the script for the Baker's next film. Maybe then it'll be funny.
Mattias.. Bore off. Bet you're a barrel of fun at a party.
Matthias is not alone in disliking helmet jokes. Others of similar ilk include policeman, masseurs and Darth Vader.
That's hilarious! Mattias, where's your sense of humour man? This is a SPOOF! It's not meant to be taken seriously (though I guess that if you haven't seen the Fosters adverts it won;t make much sense).
Bottom line is that windsurfing is about fun. Seems that far too many people take it all too seriously. Chill out!
I realise this is a joke, but taking that attitude towards helmet use is very unprofessional. Besides not being a very funny little film in the first place. The Baker academy just lost a lot of credibility. Better not make fools of yourselves like this in the future if you wan to stay in business.
