Great stuff you make it look so easy..Love the music ..haven't heard the instrumental Stevie Wonder one before.
Wavesailors must have ginormous arm muscles! Makes me want to go out & have another go in little stuff except I'd die!
..maybe when I can gybe consistently again..
Thank you!, The music is all done by me so I'm quite flattered you liked it.
Go to Gerroa and try out some wave riding. It is a wonderful palce to get in to it. Smooth, easy to get out and safe and you don't need strong arms at all!
cheers!
looked like fun......smooth sailing and groovy tunes (loved the bass and guitar work). Thanks for posting, I would love to get down to sail at gerroa, never been there. It's also been a few years since I have had a surf at Blackrock off Booderee NP too, ok, ok, ok, Im coming down south for a couple of weeks next summer.
PS: That Gaastra sail looked real nice, which one is it? Board looks to be a nice shape too, who made that one for you?
It is filmed with a goPro 960 with obvious fogging issues. I need to learn how to keep it unfoggy om warm days.
C'mon - tha sail is an ancient gaastra kept alive with sticky tape. The board is an F2 rebel which is not that old.
The waves were smallish and the wide angle makes it even smaller. I'm holding out for some real waves to see how that works with the wide angle.
The bass is a 5 string warwick corvette with a bit of exciter to get the brilliance in the sound.
I find there is too much distortion on the 960 view. Try I think the R1 or R2 modes, either 720p or 1080p modes.
I have not had the fogging issue with my GoPro. I've read though that a cheap way to deal with fogging is to put a bit of toilet paper in the housing as this apparently absorbs the moisture in the case.
Another way to deal with it would be to place the camera and case up against an airconditioner outlet for a few minutes to dry up any moisture inside the case.
RE fogging on the inside of the Gopro it will happen every time if you live in a humid climate, as the inside of the case heats up when the camera is in use, condensation forms on the glass lens due to the temperature differential. Toilet paper will do nothing to solve this, what you need is silica gel. You can get it from those little packs you find in a new box of shoes but you'll have to ghetto modify it to fit it in the case.
Luckily Gopro have realised this problem and have a solution which is avail in the seabreeze shop or from gopro etc, see below.

Re fogging, I've kept it in the fridge for an hour or so before closing it but that did not work. I'll try the car aircon next time and if that fails it'll be the anti fog stuff they sell of this site.
I'm pretty certain a fridge doesn't contain dry air. The airconditioning pumps very dry air into the casing, dropping the humidty and therefore when the casing hits water and cools, there isn't any condensation on the lens.
I did this and got two hours of fog free videoing on Jan 2nd - so it can work. I will still invest in some of the strips though - nothing more annoying than getting bad video quality!
Thats the main issue with the GoPro. You really don't know what the video quality will be or even if there is any video at all until you can review it on a computer.
Great music and obviously no copyright issues.
Divers spit into their mask to avoid fogging. You could try that...

A set of anti fog strips are on the way now. Despite coming from a fellow country man, I do not believe spitting in the housing is particularly effective. It may work on the wind screen in a Volvo and in dive masks.... ;-)
