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.

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.

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.
