Found this old vid about “Beach Replenishment”, a technique used since the '70s on the Isle of Sylt, by which sand lost through longshore drift or severe storms is replaced on a beach.
It was produced in 1995 by my good friend Jochen Neumann and was narrated by some Scottish lad which he met at the University of Flensburg (Germany).
It gets pretty technical sometimes, but it also shows some rather cool pictures/views of the island and explains some — to strangers — interesting facts about the “Frisian Riviera”. And you just gotta love the scottish accent!
Jan de Nul, the belgium company which did the contract work in ’95 (and the following years) and to which Jochen sold the vid in 1995 is the same company that did the famous Palm Island II in Dubai and is now in the process pumping up the Dubai Waterfront islands.
Actually that video should rather be called “a gift” — I can not tell you for how much it was sold to JDN, but believe me, selling an iPod to a teen is a bigger deal. But what do the Scots say, “a puir man is fain o little”.

Btw: Watching “the show” every year is why & how i came up with the word “Beachlevel” — one of my year-round hibernating projects.
Queued up: Surfwise
The inspiring and tumultuous story of 85-year old surfer, health advocate and sex guru, Dr. Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, his wife Juliette, and their nine children who were all home-schooled and raised in a small camper on the beach, where they surfed and had to adhere to the strict diet and lifestyle of animals in the wild.
