Yikes!
As JJ said it great no one was hurt and how good friends could just laugh it off. That board bruise will just buff out anyway

The brother with the camera had right of way (he was on starboard). We should all know this. With a great big wide ocean out there, there is no reason why there should ever be any collisions. Or even any close calls.

Sorry for being so serious about this. I instruct, and we are always going on about safety. Those brothers were lucky.

There is northing wrong with the port sailor yielding right of way by, oh, I don't know, 100 meters. No need to pass close in that great big wide ocean out there.

You do have to get dangerously close with the go pro, to get good footage

Then skip the GoPro. Safe is better than footage. If you must GoPro, then do it with both you and your subject on the same tack at least.

Also, if you GoPro please try to include your guages. Speed, distance, track, etc. For me at least, this makes it more interesting and informative. GoPros from the 5 Black forward have onboard GPS. Turn it on and record. Then use your software to display guages.
