Best $150 SUP Xmas Gift Ever!

 Blane Chambers recently posted on the Zone about his new GoPro camera.  Man, is that one sweet set up.  Plaster it to the front of the board and you’ll  be the hero of your own show.  Check out the shots.  Cool crazy angles.  Beautiful.

Just picked up and installed the GoPro Camera.    We figured it would be a good way to document the epic days and get some cool shots.   
Cost was $149 plus you have to buy the SD Memory card and batteries separate.    It takes AAA recharge types.    It comes with a sticky pad or you can use a FCS plug to install.    Tiny little thing.   Installed it onto my 10-6 and it is clear of the paddle when I swing it over the board.

5 MP that takes 56 min of video or 1900 pics every 2 seconds.        Its a good way to see what you are doing while paddling etc.     Another thing I noticed when loading the pics is this camera IS ALL ABOUT ME!    It even says on the mounting plate, "Be a Hero".    Its actually a little disturbing to see so many photos of yourself up close.      If you love yourself, you need this camera.    I can honestly say after going through 300+ pics I am sick of looking at my various degrees of monkey face.   
Anyway, here’s the results of a quick session this morning.   Videos later.  Today was all about finding position etc.   Camera is very easy to set, turn off and on etc.   
Pics from the first test in early am conditions.

  1. I think you are going to see an explosion of Go Pro pics and vids out there shortly. I’ve been sending Bill a monthly (or thereabouts) list of youtube SUP vid favorites for kenalu since he started the mag.

    I actually started putting them together even before that back when I first started. I play them while I’m on the treadmill or working out. One of my early favorites and still is today is Cammar’s Thousand Peaks vid. He’s been doing this longer than anyone.
