GO PRO SURF HERO CAMERAS

This guy makes some great little films with his go pro camera, this one is called a beautiful day off, the go pro cameras are probably the best cam around at the moment and although i own two HD cameras a tachyon HD and a bullet HD wide head cam the quality isn't anywhere near as good as the go pro,  plus getting mounts for the tachyon is proving a little difficult, where as the the go pro has a lot of different mounts to chose from, so come pay day i may have a new camera to play with, we will just have to wait and see.

3 DOORS DOWN

This is one of my favorite bands of the 90s, this song was the theme music for the movie american pie 2

 a great time to be young, the band are still going strong with a new album due out shortly, and the new american pie film the reunion is out soon on DVD.

With the sea winds not showing any sign of letting up and my shoulders and back muscles aching from constant paddling i decided to head out on the pugsley for a ride along the coast and give the surfing a rest for a couple of days, i also decided to have a play with my tachyon micro hd camera, the weather was quite pleasant with the sun making the odd appearance through light broken cloud warming me nicely as i cycled along the beach, the light northeast wind was a little cool and kept the overall temp around 12 degrees just nice for a bike ride, i headed west towards the tyne and out towards the boundaries of john muir country park, i made a quick film of the ride along the beach and stopped for a quick paddle in the cold north sea, before heading home for a shower and a rinse down for the bike, a quick ride of about an 1hr 30 min.

Wet weather, typical for my day off work, the surf forecast was 2ft with a light north wind which made the surf a little gutless and mushy, but a day in the house is a day wasted, so i fitted the carver surf rack to my surly pugsley and put on my wetsuit and headed to belhaven beach, and at the last minute i decided to grab the tachyon HD micro camera as i have always wanted to make a surf clip, the mount i used was a delkin suction model which i must admit i was a little worried about its ability to keep my camera in place, but it did its job and the cam never budged from the front of the board, as i predicted the surf was less than perfect and i didn't get many good waves.

EXERCISE WITH THE DUNBAR LIFEBOAT THE JIMMY MIFF.

Monday night exercise with the inshore lifeboat the jimmy miff, decided to take along my tachyon HD camera and film the action, a little warning though it was a little bumpy due to the west wind and the speed of the boat which is 25 knots full speed powered by a mariner 50 hp outboard.

WINDY BIKE RIDE

First film i've made with the tachyon micro HD camera, done a quick loop around john muir this morning and put the camera through its paces, the weather was a little nasty as per usual, the north winds have swung in a more common westerly direction and the temp was about 10 degrees there was a few heavy showers but not to bad once you where in the shelter of the pine trees at john muir country park, there is also a lot of construction going on at jm this week, they are in the process of building new toilets and a shower block which will please me and all the others that surf belhaven beach, happy days.
