That IS an amazing perspective, Dave! Thanks for sharing. Love the adrenaline-pumping music. I especially like the feeling of holding onto a brand new boom, sail and nice board

We really need to save up for some newer gear.

Sure, it was my GoPro WIDE camera, but the footage was all Dave's, so I think it belongs in this thread:

BWD Windsurfing CB Boxing Day 2008, Helmetcam Video

Severe loss of quality in the video, but still tolerable. There is an option to download the 300MB original (well, converted from avi to wmv) file for better quality.

I posted a link of that vid on the Boards UK website thread "how cold is too cold?". Here's some of the Brit's feedback

Quality that puts us all to shame.

50m straight off the beach in 2.5 degrees with wetsuit and what looks like a spray jacket and mits and straight into a clean forward.

Some good loops by PaulL, Bean and Dunkinguy, although they are a bit small with the wide angle. I'll have the wide angle GoPro and helmet mount up at CB tomorrow if anyone wants to use it.

nice work and editing guys!. Makes me want to take a windsurfer out for a spin again!

The videos and action still shots are also great instructional tools. When I am watching video from unfamiliar spots it's hard to factor in where the wind is coming from, wave action, etc. With the hemet cam at a familiar spot it's easy. I'll be looping and slashing in no time...great stuff.

Apart from that the perspective gives the viewer a sensation of being on the water....pretty wonderful stuff.
