As anyone who lives on the mid north coast knows. we have had a pretty crappy summer.. Anyway a little relief was had this week with some gusty frontal easterlies.. so i made the most of it at 5 of our local spots.. here's some footage.

Oh my.. I just saw the punishing Marcus got for his video. so i would like to apologise in advance for the poor picture quality. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get better quality out of my Olympus tough I would be stoked to hear it..

nice one ben you could of added more footage to it from the spit yesterday

Cheers for posting. I always like seeing different spots I have never been to. Same goes for Marcus who copped a flogging for no good reason (but they do love to stir)

Anyway am interested in the camera set up.

You mentioned the Olympus tough.

What cam rig do you you use on the kite?

How long do you get on video?

Apologies in advance if you answered this in previous threads and i've missed

The cam rig is the one i bought right here on seabreeze..

The camera is the Olympus tough 8000.. you get about an hour and a half of footage with a 2 GB XD card which is as big as they come with XD.. SD is far better. I know the new Olympus camera due out in a few weeks is HD and comes with a new memory card with high capacity (32GB) so if your in the market for a camera i would wait for this one.. but you can also use the Pentax w series or the Panasonic lumix.. anyway its all in the link above..

Awesome vid Milko, looking foward to the next one, cheers Marcus.

Another great video. Good to see some decent - (What do you call it when the water goes up and down? - That's right, I remember) - Surf! You looked like you were doing justice to it! Keep them coming.

Just thinking how lucky you were to score the right combination of wind and waves to see these spots actually fire, be it only marginally. Locals have commented that has been several years since the last event. A quick heads up that the minature east coast terns have been spotted nesting by the National Parks and Wild-life around both the spit and one mile. Looks like we may have to give both a miss until they leave.
Constant winds,
Baz.
