In the latest trailer from Taylor Steele's upcoming movie, JJF and Kelly join Martin Daly in the Marshall Islands. The two are filmed by a Talon Clemow who leaves his backpack filled with expensive kit on a lonely island. Somehow the backpack gets foisted into the narrative.

Trailer fail. Why do they want us to see the full length movie?

'Inside my backpack was my laptop, passport, my wedding ring, some SD cards and a small tupperware container with my brain'.

Jeezus, that was bloody ordinary.

Yeah, a little disappointing. The video doesn't give a location and actually states they're going to the South Pacific. Why did SN have to mention the location?

Aside from it being written on the plane it doesn't take much of a detective to figure it out. I wasn't trying to blow any secrets I just figured that anyone who cared would already know. They've been there before and they've done precious little to hide it. In fact, the exact location was divulged in Australia's largest newspaper.

Exactly, those who care would already know where it is so why does it need to be pointed out?

You've always said you make a point of difference but deliberately going out of your way to try help reduce exposure of sensitive areas. Martin's been in the marshalls for years but that doesnt mean it hasn't remained firmly off most peoples radars for one reason or another (fickle, windy, remote).

No big deal just voicing my opinion.

Jeez.. considering the b-grade waves in the clip, it's hardly an advertisement for the Marshall Islands. Which, by the way (according to Wikipedia) are "spread out over 29 coral atolls, comprising 1,156 individual islands and islets".

Martin Daly's been based out of Majuro for quite a while now.

Modified Gath @ 1.05 looks a bit rough

Maybe Taylor Steele is taking the astoundingly radical step of not showing all the best bits in the trailer. Just teasing with some background material.

Well that was a total waste of 3min 46sec of my life.
You wouldn't go there to surf would you. Rubbish
I always wondered if there were waves on the Marshal Islands
now I know there isn't.

Martin has said in the past after traveling the globe this is the next best place to the Mentawai's maybe now after what has become of the Mentawai's he is trying to put us all off the scent, every time I've seen pics or vid of the area it always looks so windy.?

Lol. I thought it can't be that bad after all the negative comments and watched it. It was a mistake. Five three second, B grade waves in the whole thing? YAWN!

It is hard to put a high price on my time considering how much of it I spend on internet message boards, but regardless, I didn't mind it.

Secret or non secret - that was a great anti-ad for the Marshalls.
