I took out the fishing rod rig this morning and got a few I thought worth sharing.

The board Im riding is a Compact, im a fan of it.

The fishing pole is a home made job. There a few different ways you can do it.

You can use retic and put a FCS plug fitting into it or what I did was use a normal mount and stick it to the end of the pole. I just put some epoxy on there to make sure it wont fall off and also put some floats on it so I can find it again when I drop it.

Heres a couple more from my chopping board back pack rig.

Great pics - thanks for sharing!

I love the third one down in the first set.

Does your pole float?

Its good to see most people like the pics. I have the GoPro hero, not the new one.
To get clear pics I lick the lens and dunk it before each wave to minimise the water drops.

Here is a pic of the back pack rig. It is good to kite with as it doesnt get in the way much. The biggest problem is reaching the camera to turn it on and off and to spit on the lens.

The other part hanging of the chopping board is a counter balance. I just filled the tube with a few sinkers to keep it balanced.

Nice pics . You lads don't know you are living kiting in board shorts. We would freeze to death over here if we even thought about it. I am extremely jealous
