Northwest breeze this morning at Jaycee Park in Fort Pierce. Strapped a GoPro camera to my 12 m kite's center strut and went for a ride in the Indian River Lagoon. The angle wasn't exactly right and I had to crop and zoom a lot of the video for things to show up, but I still think it came out cool. Nice view from up there.
Nice work. Does your HD GO Pro Fog up all the time like mine? I'd be stoked if you posted your sessions on waterhound.com. I'll feature them and drive some more traffic to your blog!
Hey Bill- Yeah, my HD GoPro tends to fog up more than my standard GoPro used to. Turning it on for a little while before you close it seems to help, as does closing it in a low humidity environment. I haven't resorted to putting silica gel packets in it yet, but I've heard that works. That waterhound site looks pretty cool. I'll think about it.
James, that's just amazing! Between that and your boom-mount and someone videoing your from a boat or shore, you've covered all the angles. Great job! Just last night I bought your dad's Pantara board and two sails, so look forward to putting what you taught me to use more often. Thanks!
Beach Boy- I used the helmet strap and tied it tightly around the center strut, with a reinforcing piece of string tied to the pump leash to keep the camera from twisting.
I have a couple of slots on this page where ad banners appear. However, the ads that appear in those slots are automatically generated and not necessarily approved by me. Sometimes they promote things that I actively dislike, like fertilizers and herbicides. If you see an ad on my blog that you don't think I would agree with, let me know the details on it and I'll try to block it. Thanks!

Cool! I'm interested in seeing critters, too.

MGD- Yeah, hopefully I'll see dolphins and manatees and not just sharks.
Rob- That's great that you got the Pandera! It should be the perfect Puget Sound exploring board for you. :)
Nice dude, kinda like having your own helicopter and camera crew... :)
I like watching the trails you left in the water.
How did you attach the gopro to the kite? I've wanted to do it for ages!

The Go Camera is awesome isn't it!!?? We we're fortunate to use a couple for our latest music video. See it here: http://www.vimeo.com/15420688
