This is a video I just made with some footage from 19 April. Ever wonder what happens to the stuff you drop while paddling or surfing? Check out the end of the video to see. I was amazed at how much it rolled around down there... Hope you like it.
Aloha,
Eric

Hey Eric, some of the funniest and coolest stuff i've ever captured on video is when things go wrong or come loose.
Ain't it a surprise when you first play it back?
A little float attached to the cam puts an end to these little gems though.
Cheers Rambo

Your camera rolling around on the bottom with the fish is absolutely classic.

I really like the silence, followed by the "clunk" as it hits the reef. I had to scroll through a lot of plain old boring stuff to find the fish shots... I also liked the part where the surfer paddled by. I was really stoked to finally find it. I had to mark the spot and go back in to watch my daughter while my wife went to 6-man practice. I got my snorkeling gear and went back out about 4 hours later. It was about 20' from my mark.

Julz,
The board is a completely easy cheesy. Angulo Nui. 11'9 x 31". It's like standing on your kitchen table and going for a paddle. It's a bit of a pig until you get it on a wave (or a bump on a downwind run), but it's still a super fun, family friendly board. Kinda surfs, kinda runs downwind, kinda cheaper than buying a quiver of boards...
