1st attempt at the goPro and never thought it would turn out so clean. Can't wait for some more better action. But at least I got a kite in and one little smack off the lip... Over the 6M and 5'4" is money. Rolling Eyes

sweet vid.
I'm surprised you can cruise in such light winds on a 6m...how much do you weigh, out of curiosity?

Dude that was badass.
It was like kiting with you.
So cool to see the difference in kiting styles from a point of view perspective. Nice kite skills. Looks like you were flying something a 7m?

Sweet, solid video! Good tune, too. I'll echo Kyle: that was a 6m?? Impressive.

Now I'm homesick. Sad

Thanks brohams' for the solid reviews! Yep, that was a 6M and I weight in around 170 with the rubber on.

Its always sweet to watch other riders do there thing. It would be sweet if we all had one during a race or something... Next time I will try to ride super close to a ripper and get that perspective.

Looking for the next big day. Alien

cool..looks fun!

lot's of GoPro's out there now..

are you guys using the wide-angle ones..?
I've got an older one that I haven't used in awhile.. It's only got he wrist-band thing....

And, anyone seen the Morris-wakeskate video where he puts it right above his stopper-ball on his lines.....that's a killer view!

yeah, i have the bike attachment and was thinking of getting one of you rippers to mount it to your kite bar... thought that would be killer...

somebody volunteer next time we're out kiting, i'll hook you up.

nice shy!
the go pros are nice little cameras. are you using a helmet mount in that vid?

here's a quick vid I did last week using the wide angle with the chest mount, board mount and then some handheld stuff.
unfortunately I lost the camera on a front roll yesterday.
housing door busted off and camera was lost at sea. not sure what happened.
just landed a front roll a little hard and the impact broke the housing which was mounted on the nose of the board.
I know the rep so will discuss this with him.

Nice vid, Jim! It's cool seeing the different angles. Sucks about your cam... Sad

That surf board and 6m looks like a recipe for fun. Sweet!
