My gf recently got me the Go-Pro Hero - here is the first video I ever took from it. As you will probably note, i'm not yet an adept kiter but i highly recommend this gadget to other kiters (plus it also takes amazing pics every 2seconds)

Last weekend at 3rd was great...I'm looking forward to a fun season.

Yeah, and make sure it's not turned on on those warm summer days when you don't have a wetsuit under your harness. :P

Re: Go-Pro Hero @ 3rd
The video came out much better in the latter part of the video, when you changed tack. Very awesome tool.
Is that a leash that I saw flapping around? A leash and no helmet? Leashes are super dangerous, not worth the risk, and a leash sans helmet is super dangerous.

Re: Go-Pro Hero @ 3rd
If you notice in the still or in the vid the leash is not hooked up on back of harness, probably a self rescue only leash. these cams are cool! but i concur on helmet mounting. :)

Re: Go-Pro Hero @ 3rd
Wow - I think it's great video. I'll be the first one to rent this thing from you next time I'm at Third. (Sure I could buy one, but not sure what I'd shoot other than a bit of kiteboarding...)

Sure - i'm generally on the upper launch also (9m & 13m Rev) on a nobile 555 board.
Also for the record, the leash is for rescue only - I stopped wearing the leash after reading all of the stories and recommendations on this board. So thanks to all that contributed. Its great advice =D>
