VANCOUVER ISLAND WINDTALK

Very cool!
Now I see the loops.
Is it me or is that footage a little less bouncy?

JL.. You got a new helmut

My helmet matches my go-jo !!!

Here's a new one from Gordon's yesterday (July 7 2007), as seen through the eyes of Winddoctor. It sure gets me pumped up to try more things when I'm sailing. And yes I could have cut out the time spent frolicking on the beach but I thought it has artistic merit Can't wait for other people to wear the helmet cam, especially on the Oregon Coast trip. Let me know if you want to try it out, preferably someone that I can trade helmets with so I don't bruise my melon. If you are wondering about the music then see dunkinguys post.

thanks, yep i slowed down morewinds loop since in normal speed it was so fast. The raw files are 512x384 avi files and i convert them to 320x240 wmv files. The originals look a lot better than the compressed files but they are huge. Winddoc's 20 min session was about 850 MB.
dave

nice footy bwd/winddoc ... makes me homesick to see that port tack view of the beach

Here's a short video from a 4.0 morning session at The Hatchery in the Gorge. Thanks to TheLaw for wearing the helmet cam for part of it:

Nice clear video ... I put on sunscreen for more realism !!! Tonight I will sleep in a gravel pit.

Here's one from a 4.2 day at Florence (actually the same day as the Hatchery vid above ). The waves were bigger then they look...I love you Florence.

THose are great; better quality than most of Sr. Giampalo's I think.

I was groovin' to the Florence video ... She's hot !!!

From CB last Sunday. The cam was pointed too low so it mostly shot water, but I did manage to scrape 3 minutes out of the hour of footage. I ordered a proper helmet mount and a wide angle lens so hopefully things will improve when they arrive. It should make it easier to lend out the cam (thanks to Winddoctor for the spare Gath helmet ).

Sorry for the non PG friendly hissy-fit language in Dave's vid. If you listen closely, you can hear me yell "Huck!" Nice vid as always Dave!

Nice My 4 yr old daughter let out a "wow, that was a big flip" for the winddoc loop . Not sure if she picked up the enthusiastic "HUCK"
