That's the way we surf up here in Nova Scotia. February is often the best month for waves. Thanks for the nice comments!

That ad is SO Canadian. Your surf music has a certain Nova Scotia je ne sais quoi.

I was listening to the Sadies' last record, which ends with a song sung by Buffy Ste.-Marie, "Circling", about sacred community. Is being a musician in Canada like that?

Well done, sir! Great song.

And it's nice to see a new VW Beetle not being marketed as a "chick car" for a change....

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. I think it is a better description of SG101

The song VW used is an old one (2000) for us that we haven't played live for quite a while. Guess we'll have to revisit it.

Hope you´ll get paid for using your tune!
A few years ago I phoned Eurosport in Munich asking who and where the decisions are made for underlaying surfing films with music.
The guy told me that this is done in Paris / France.
My French isn´t good enough to do a phone call and negociate.
Maybe here are some members who are willing to phone Eurosport in France and ask them why they don´t use real surf music instead of modern non-surf tunes??? Offer them to help with suggestions!!!
