We have had waves almost every day for a month.
Typical summer stuff... waist to chest and clean. I set up a video cam on the beach a few days to get some shots of my 8'10 Sunova Speeed in action. It is such a fun board.... everything I had hoped for.... it is so smooth and snappy in all size surf.
I am spoiled by this board... I'm starting to sell off my quiver. Last Monday, I set up the cam on a big, lumpy dawn patrol.... no one out... so I guessed at the line-up..... Wrong!!! I missed the whole session :o ;D ;D
It's an imperfect science.... but I get a lot of great vids of everyone thats surfing.... I'm making a Cape Cod Movie with them. The view is from 400 yard down the beach.... looking into the waves from the side..
Interesting view, because you are surfing towards the camera, you don't get any feeling of the down the line speed. Kinda like watching a train come towards you.

But... it's the only way to capture the action with a fixed, unmanned camera.Here's my summer on Speeed:
