Woohoo! looked sensational. DJ that camera angle is about the best yet for capturing the swell size...but does having the mount up forward on the nose make the board a bit unwieldy?
Thanks Stu.. and everyone elso for your nice coments.. The camera lens gets splatered with more rain drops and water spray.. with helping those who are new to downwinding.. I'm not saying I'm a DW expert but I'm happy to pass on the things that seem to work well for me.. As it turns out this front mount shows how important foot work and paddle work are.. along with showing the wave size much better... Someone said that I make it look easy.... I'm thinking it's more my editing than my skill that makes it look easy.. I do know that downwinders are one thing.. and that's FUN..

I've tried to avoid the front mount pointed back for a few reasons like it does effect the board handling even more than the big rear mount.
DJ That front mount you did gives awesome footage of the swell behind you and the foot work its a buzz looking a the foot work it looks great ( how can I say it - Only A Surfer Knows The Feeling )
I've never wanted my vids to be like... me,me, look at me.. but rather a come along and enjoy the experiance along DJ we Downwind Paddlers truly understand what you're saying
Getting praise or coments but when I do it's a real bonus.. Getting praise from people like Phil [Downwinder] means alot to me DJ thanks for the comment mate, but I'm like you DJ I truly love Downwind Paddling
it is the best sport outside of surfing a real wave on my normal surfboard thats why I love Maliko so much.
I don't post my vids with the expectation of gbecause they know how difficult it is to capture the DW experiance on film. So true.
For those who have done DW'ers will know that they are a lot of things.. and easy is not one of them I said the same comment to Jeremy Riggs and Jeremy agrees.
I hope I get to Port Phillip Bay some day it'll be a real joy/buzz to go for a DW paddle with ya DJ, hope to see ya on Maliko next July.
I saw Lacey out today at Snapper on his Starby paddling into anything and everything 
really enjoyed the no paddle take off, excellent.
