As promised Here is the movie from my little WA desert mission over easter

http://exposureroom.com/f79c05f979244c8e88925c914627c026/



There were truly some leg burner waves to be had !! Some rides were over 40 seconds long!

- Tools used for this mission were the New Starboard 10'5 , my Vio POV1 helmet cam

(thanks to

www.launchhelmetcams.com

for sponsoring me with one of these excellent units)

My little travelling sony HC3 HDV camera was used for tripod / landscapes

- for the tech guys out there : the edit was done in final cut studio (hdv transcoded to an intermediate format - native HDV SUCKS!)

with 3d titling done in Cinema 4d and motion

And magic bullet looks for some fancy color grades!!



By the way - over easter there was a rogue croc buzzing around the place - we found out later that we were snorkeling in a bay (150 m offshore in 10 ft murky water) less than 1km from where it was spotted 2 hours later!!!

Very,very cool indeed,
Robbo

Wow, I havnt even watched the movie yet and after reading all that I'm already impressed!

you will need the quicktime player to play it (its a free download if you dont already have it) -as i have encoded in h.264 - by FAR the best quality / file size codec out there right now!! gives the same quality as wmv (windows media viewer) at HALF the file size.

its a 45mb movie - so the quality is really nice - give it a while to download.

Great quality-that white paddle could be hard to find in the white water?

thanks for the positive comments - truth be known that wave is such a gun and run that there is very little opportunity for surfing cutbacks , reos and floaters - which i rate very highly - i will try and get more rail to rail action on my next vid. And hopefully a view from inside the barrel too!


re: the white paddle - i dont drop my paddle so not a problem - but i reckon a dark paddle would be hard to find in unbroken water - maybe safety orange or yellow is the ultimate color?

May is a pretty sick month up there -enjoy-i will be back up there early may - heading further north towards exmouth..

Top vid, great waves, good score.

Top vid, longlefthanders,mmmmm
