I have an idea to make a camera mount to be integrated with the board. It needs to be light weight.

I was thinking that I would need 4 carbon paddle shafts longer than waist high. If you have any or know anyone with old or broken shafts sitting around let me know. I can join them easily in my backyard laboratory if not long enough.

Thanks for any help.

Hey Chris, you could be waiting ages for donations. Why don't you do a D.J. and whip down to the plumbing store for some pipe and duct tape!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like DJ's contraption so much I wanted to do a more technical version that could be removed or added easily that was lighter and stronger.

I reckon that view from the side and behind is for sure the best view I have seen. Up high and off to the side, with the Go Pro you can see everything, the paddler, footwork, the bump, approach etc. It's as close to POV as you get I reckon.

^^^ If shafts are hard to come by, try the w/surfing forum - there's always plenty of broken masts & mast-halves around.
