Saturday 10 21 surf/windsurf report

In the morning we went to Thousand Peaks and I had my little waterproof camera with me. The waves were small, but it was a lot of fun.
When I started this first little video I was standing up on the 12.6 and then I dove to show you that there is some reef down there. Thank god for that...

There we go, some more reef in this one. And also a beautiful sea creature. What the hell is that? Sea urching? Star fish? I've never seen it before...

Here, have another (blurred) look.


Then I put the camera around my back ankle (that would be my left one, Christofer) and I tried to take videos. Sometimes, by mistake, I ended up selecting the self portrait option, that takes photos 10 seconds after you push the shutter. Here's a pretty cool one... I'm on it, brah! You can see the leash and the wake of the board. Extremely cool.


Here's another one. Considering how much board you can see and the angle of the camera, I must have walked a little bit towards the nose.


To see the next video, you have to turn you screen 90 degrees clockwise, because I haven't find a sw to rotate videos yet. Do it, it's worth it. You can see the paddling action and then you can see the wave breaking on the tail of the board. Can't turn the screen? Well, a little neck stretch will make you feel better...

Then, in the afternoon, I went sailing on the same board (what a board!) at Kanaha and I took more videos with the camera mounted on the mast. Light wind, nice waves, more fun.
To see next video, instead, you have to turn you screen 90 degrees counter clockwise. Or, in case you left it vertical from the previous post, 180 degrees... but, why would you do that?
Why did I mount the camera the other way? You don't want to stretch only one side of your neck!
At the end, I move the camera to try to shoot better the other sailors.

One more. I always check my look when I sail... and at the end I show you the tower of the life guards.

hahahah, your hair looked fine as it was in the last vid GP. I remember that tower, always seemed to be carrying my rig past it at the end of the day after getting belted down wind all the time!
