the past 2 days has had nice breezy S/ SSW after super heavy rains . oh hurricane wannabes.

TUES super ATB session, thinking i was gonna get some help from the fam and kids/ teens in the group. thinking the cool factor was truly apex but NO!

give the ONE BUTTON operation lecture to the teen (the 8/10 year olds already know how to use it). i set up launch , they all jet in 10minutes, WITH THE CAMERA! you guys wonder why it takes SO long to make a decent vid.

WED. got the helmet cam on 15min on the water and 15min on the ATB. with the launch/land stuff in there. 95% of the raw footage useless ! hardly can tell i'm riding ANYTHING. the swell action is just rough can't see the board or the kite(only in loop trans. although during the ride totally lit raging airs loops and all. very disappointing. the kite cam is much more predictable framing, def have about 35min of raw footage with stuff to use, just the edit on the kite cam is real brain twisty...tedious.

the fixed tripod thing is coming, but not my style of hanging in one place. i just forget its there and 3 miles down the beach i see some friends "hit the show off button" and think damn camera is way down there hope nobody stole it ..then eventually jet back and the memory full / battery practically dead.

the camera really spoils the fun flow , but i 'll get it.
