Dam it, That sucks big time i hope you find it or someone finds it.

This is the only fear i have with cameras. If i pay the clams for one i always think i may snap it off. Even with a float i guess it will head out to sea rather than the shore.

This morning at Long Reef I had my sucker cam on the front of my paddle board until I got a flogging and it came off.
Its a yellow dent puller and had an orange float cable tied to it for a float.
My camera is a waterproof GoPro Wide.

...... but I paddled around for 15 mins and finally found it! Woo hoo.

Sorry for your loss Greeny. Maybe it'll turn up. Fingers crossed.

Hey Dee Jay I was out at SP.
I saw it and swam for it but a wave got to it first.
After paddling around looking for it for a while I gave up.
Obviously its the camera I want back. The dent puller only cost me $7 and the bottle I got from the recycle bin hehehe.
I take my camera every where. Its indestructable and very handy.
Thinking I might have to get a GoPro now? Wider lense. All though the new Olympus is ment to have a wider lens?

Greeny

Will put the word out regarding your loss.
Out of interest did you get the dent puller in WA and if so where ?

Hey Kev how are you? Hope to catch up for a few windsurfs with you this season?
I got the dent puller from SuperCheap.

Man spent nearly an hour all up swimming around after OG phil ;s a few months back, lucky it had a bright orange float with it .

Yeah the bottle does float the camera but I couldnt find an orange float anywhere.
I checked fishing shops and places like Kmart and Big W but no joy there.
It was pretty big surf today and alot of water moving around. I was trying to look for the camera but also trying to keep my head above water. Was hoping that it was gonna get pushed out into the channel. but couldnt see it there.
Im hoping it floats to the the beach and someone picks it up.

That's a bummer Greenie about your camera.. Those bright orange donut shaped floats are what water skiers use to float the rope I think.. I hope it turns up.. It's a shame you couldn't find a bright colored bottle.

No word on the camera return Greeny ?

Was thinking abut your loss and a little message in the bottle with return details and offer of reward would have been the go (Hindsight... always 20/20)

For the plastic fluro float options, I reckon a painted mobile number and reward if found message might act as a little insurance if/when the sucker cam lets go and can't be found on the water ?

Anyone found my camera yet?

Sorry Greenie no news.

Greenroom, There is an unseen law of nature, a cosmic all knowing, all seeing force that makes all lost objects re appear in one of two places . 1. behind the fridge. 2. in the glovebox of an ex girlfriends car. Ours is not to reason why

I checked behind the fridge and found nothing but fluff and dead cockies
Just gotta look up the ex. Wonder if she has the same car? Hope not, those back seats were well and truely soiled
