hmmmmmm, i realise these aren't wavesailing pics...

but I made some racing wallpapers (12 of them in fact) a few weeks back which you can see here:

Here's a sample:





slight problem is just because you put a logo on top of a photographers pic doesn't make you the copyright holder... nice try though

in the name of fair play... If I get time I'll put out a little screensaver/ waller paper app I developed for a corporate client. It will automatically pull new images from a web server which I can feed with appropriate windsurf pix...

... I got truck loads of professional windsurf pics taken all around OZ I can feed into the app... might give that comp idea bit more thought too and put together a web site which will allow voting and uploads...

Windwarrior and a few other WA/ NSW boys can vouch for the quality of pix...

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

one of my better ones...don't think i'll get a vantage point like this again....

can't remember the name of the kid, he was from a small town on the brand highway,,think its called Enneba and he was ripping the wave to shreds.




Eneabba? Small mining town adjacent to Three springs? great vantage point btw, was it on board a boat? and a great couple of shots too

@ stehsegler - in regards to copyright, that particular image was used with permission from the photographer and has actually been digitally edited quite substantially from the original. Have given credit to the photographers that weren't me on all the wallpapers so I can't see it as a claim of mine to be the copyright holder

But for the purpose of the competition; fair call!

Just wanted to show people whats out there aside from the small few on the brand's webpages. Some great pics already coming through from everyone ;)

stehsegler, my original thoughts (which consisted of "hmmm, maybe some pics as wallpapers would be a cool idea") were just a simple posting of some tarted up pics that we could steal as readymade wallpapers.
However, access to your app and an extended comp idea would be really cool.
maybe we could get seabreeze and a few of the other sponsors involved .... maybe not

I just love looking at the pics, especially when they are cropped and "framed" nicely
