Got to try my new X3 camera. Still experimenting with mounts and editing. I would appreciate any advise

Cool camera view and nice riding!!

Nice cam angle that x3 takes a nice crisp image.

Great vid and riding. Looks like paradise. How strong was the wind?

Thanks John, according to the airport less than a kilometre inland it was about 25mph gusting to 40 mph. I would say I was rigged for the gusts on that day.

Very nice - I like how you keep the power on when you carve downwind, a good example at 1min

Thanks Azymuth I do love using the power of the sail in the carves. Just the windsurfer in me I guess.

Its hard to tell with the smaller blown out waves in the vid but wind is coming from my left at about 90 degrees to the wave so I try to go up wind and climb the wave to my left then jibe down the face sheeting in to begin the carve/jibe which starts pretty much into the wind. Then I actually keep the sail depowered while going downwind(down the line) and try and climb the wave again. Kind of like a bottom turn on a wave board but I am not good enough to go straight up the wave so some times it takes a few seconds. Then when I get to the top I open the sail turning the power on for a heel side carve down the wave. It is all a work in progress but is so much fun.
