Captain Liz

Came across this great video of Liz Clark on YouTube. It has a home-movie kind of feel to it, which is refreshing these days. The video gives you a glimpse of what its like to sail your boat to a remote atoll, find a wave, surf it and then do it all over again. Great music too.

Check out our channel on YouTube and tell us what you think of it. Got a cool video with your FCD board? Send it our way!
