GoPro Hero HD mounted on helmet – glad the waves were small – 3-6′. Funny how they look much smaller in the video. Nose mounted camera makes them look much bigger. Everything worked great. Will take some getting used to the helmet. When diving under waves or getting thrashed in the whitewater the increased drag pulls my head around. I let the editing program add the music – not my choice.

Shot in 960P 1280 x 960 which gives the tallest HD video from the GoPro and Maximum Overall View – 4:3

For new flexspooners you can catch a bit of paddling and hand positioning. You can also see how little flotation my flexspoons have.

Based on my little experience with a 5 oz camera and lightweight Gath helmet I’ve got to say that George Greenough was risking his life when he rode his Velo with 20-30 lbs. of camera gear on his back. Big Respect!
