Yesterday at scotts

[drroc]

I went out yesterday for about 45 mins to Scotts. I am usually good for 2hr, but Scotts was extra special yesterday with double overhead waves.
1080p widescreen on GoPro definitely is makes things distorted. I went for a helmet mount as opposed to a camrig, because I didn't want to deal with any potential line tangles in case the kite went for a swim. Also the stupid camera moved, and I ended up getting a lot of shots of my feet... I got only a single decent shot of largish wave.

I saw a few others with GoPros, so hopefully people will post their videos.

Tuesday was epic indeed! Here are a few shots from my 2 hours session...

That looks great. Did you take these shots at the break where the waves break to the right? Any video? :)

Looks like there might be a repeat on Sunday albeit with smaller waves.

super gunny looking board, what is that like 16" wide"?

[Fredstem]

drroc: yes this is outside and at the right side break.
Yojimbo: that's a full carbon 6'0 16''' gun indeed that I use on big days.

So this is not a mass produced board/shape available for kiting. I don't think I've ever seen anyone ride anything like this kitesurfing before. I know naish was selling a gun type board at one point. That looks like the Caution logo on that board. Are we looking at an experimental/concept board in these photos? That thing looks positively evil, like it could impale anyone foolish enough who tried to steal your wave.

Yojimbo: It is actually a 2012 Naish Custom Full Carbon Gun...
Liked you comment about impaling a snake ;-)
