haha. yes, on parent duty this weekend. will be at the beach though for some of that time so i will get salt.

monday is a day off for me. looks like wind. will be at VP for those that are keen.

i was teasing a little. i reckon tomorrow is looking very good for a nice seabreeze. though i'm not a weather man.

haha haircut, i never buy new undies. but you knew that.


hey dism,

2 - 4 weeks typically. 5.2 & 5.7 i reckon you are in for wither 10-15knots or 40 knots.

Sorry bout that, but mine aren't new ('08 2nd hand), so does that mean that all the non-windiness is already used up by the previous owner? Or do I still have to pay my dues to Huey?

Haircut - the vid works well on my single core Dell on Vista and VLC Media Player, keep 'em coming it really helps to see that sort of windsurfing and non-pros (I don't mean this in a bad way, you have skills man) so you can semi-understand how to copy stuff (apart from your crazy flakkas/vulcans etc)

The video is awesome hc! Watching it on a widescreen feels like being there. Gooood Stuff!!



Watching MistralNick go flying past me, exactly like being there.

... was that HD? What was strapped to your head?
What lense size?

Got a little chunky and was skipping frames after half way, where there was lots of stuff moving on screen (you know), but awesome to see in HD!!!

Liked the "oi, oi!!!" bit

thanks for testing it i don't exactly know why it gets jumpy at the same point on some pc's. the blockyness is because i've re-compressed it at a substantially lower bitrate than the original 24mbps so file size is small. i'm guessing some folk have got a different version of the h264 codec installed

What DID you have strapped to your head? There was sound.
What is this waterproof, HD camera that you can strap to your head?

Did you see the cam on the kiter vid that is featuring on general section right now? Best point of view I reckon.
