Threw together a quick clip of some amazing footage we have been gathering over the last week of the Southern Right Whale in Sydney Harbour. Super friendly and very inquisitive he moves around a lot so it was an absolute bonus to see him on a recent paddle and have him paddle right under my board (yeah I dropped my paddle)!

He also woke up Dean Cropp one morning as he was rubbing up against his boat. Luckily Dean at his iPh6 at hand and his drone.
Still pinching myself!



We should have the full video edit up shortly at: www.facebook.com/BalmoralPaddlesurf

Thanks guys. Pretty stoked to have finally caught up with this elusive big guy. Even more stoked to be able to share it.

Testing the new waterproof Splash drone. Dean Cropp's rig. Pretty cool set up as it takes the Gopro in its waterproof case.




There are quite a few interesting new waterproof drones coming our way. All with various pros and Cons. Check out Lilly, Sprite and the Splash drone.
