Brilliant Vid DJ!!!! As another character said to Jeremy Irons in 'The Charge of The Light Brigade' - "You sir, are on your arse!" As Suppers we should have clinics on how to fall off gracefully because falling off/over for no particular reason is an occupational hazard. BTW if you don't start paddling more you'll lose your fitness! If you come tomorrow I'll show you my new stick - Walking stick. Once I get my hip right I'm definitely getting a downwind board it just looks like too much fun!!!

Typical female, you looked like the Michelin man, not Mitcheleon!!! You still seemed to be having fun and doing very well thankyou. It's better than looking fashionable and getting hypothermia!!!

Great vid DJ.....I'm bummed I missed this run.
Front camera view shows the size of the runners heaps better.
I look forward to the vid with front & rear mounted camera, combined with head cam and all mashed together.
So long as all that plumbing doesn't make your board sink

The new mount works well DJ!

That was a pretty sweet run yesterday and our timing catching the best wind of the day, combined with getting in before the rain hit was a masterstroke!

DJ, great vid, nice climax at the end too.

Have you considered putting a Naish style surfing grip pad on the tail of your board? You're standing that far back often enough on the big swells, and it might save your tail next time there's a emergency slow-down manoeuvre necessary.
