Very nice Greg !!! I like the sequence with the windsurfer 3:02 - 3:20 & the kelp shows up nicely ... Any 'Big Wed.' on there ? 8)
Thermals are good.

Big Wed is the footage that is darker (we didn't have sun for the camera's hour when we first went out). You weren't in the camera view till after the camera was full and turned off :( . The other footage was Tuesday very late in the day so the sun is casting a great shine on the water. I like how that camera angle sometimes makes it look like the whole field of view is a giant wave. I also left the actual camera mic sound on to hear the wind. My favourite sequence is the race with BWD, at the end of the scene where I change the kite direction at Tugwell and get kerplunked into the water - you can actually hear the splash (or is it cymbals ??).

I see two big problems with this video:

1. It makes the helmet cam videos look lame.
2. It makes me want to learn how to kite.

Well done Greg! I love the waves, the water colour, the kelp (or sharks?) and the drag race. It looks like Maui in a few shots. I can't wait to see footage of a JR day or swelly Gordo's day. Now, where to get a 10m :wink:

Want to hear something crazy! I uploaded this video (the full length vesion at 389 megs) to my FaceBook videos. The video went through after an hour and then nothing - wasn't visible. 10 hours later the video appeared on my FaceBook videos and was edited so it was shorter, the scenes were changed, and the music was re-added without the wind noise. So if you think 'they' aren't watching - think again! Some guy working at FaceBook must like kitesurfing to put so much effort into this video! I'm not sure I'm happy with their assistance or feel violated??

Hey Dave - notice the first video I edited had you winning the drag race on the starboard tack - this time I'm winning on the port tack! Ha Ha! I suggest buying a RISE kite. I sail a ONE and love it - I'm afraid to try the RISE because there is always something better.

BWD gave me the html to embed - he knows this stuff - and Vsocial also gives this info somewhere I think

Nice video Greg! I also like the race scene. I agree with BWD, it will be very cool to see a big swell day at Gordos!
