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!

  4. An appealing notion of this writing. I’m 1 of the people women and men whom have a tendency to wait for items to mature prior to doing so employing this case I’m mindful that inaction results in only failures i really will heed your comments and commence to undertake anything over it.

  6. There are certainly a great deal of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point out bring up. I offer the feelings above as general inspiration but clearly you’ll find questions like the 1 you bring up where it is important will be working throughout honest good faith. I don? t know if guidelines have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of these lives.
