James' Blog: Paint it Black

Windy season ought to be over by now for the East Coast of Florida, but we’ve just had two afternoons in a row of good “teens” breezes from the Northeast. Score!

Tuesday, I took some boom-mounted GoPro camera video of an ocean session on my new Exocet Slalom board with an 8.4 race sail. I accidentally took a series of still shots, too, but I was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out. In the GoPro camera video, everything is so fast and splashy that it’s sort of a blur, but in the photos, the complex violence of the board-water interaction is frozen in place, which makes the interesting details more apparent.

    James,

    I really liked the way the video picked up the water splashing around your board. A happy accident!
