GoPro Camera - Wakeboarding

[TheSakomat]

the sun is watching you!!!

[MrDynakite]

ur bad

[buzzras]

Yeah, I agree. The 1:59 flipping the camera off really makes you look cool...

[PhrozenPhlanges]

whats with the ski boot style binding? what happens when you have a really bad bail, will you just slip right out of it?

[lewy88utube]

@PhrozenPhlanges They nothing like ski bindings man. They are real wake bindings, maybe around 5 years old now though.

[henriqueminchillo]

GoPro accessory which you used to mount?

[lewy88utube]

@henriqueminchillo I used the suction mount. But tethered the camera housing to my boot.

[AwesomenessAdam]

I'm sorry you wasted a mount on your wakeboard bad angle

[lewy88utube]

@AwesomenessAdam Nah none wasted. It's the suction mount. Something different.

[AwesomenessAdam]

@lewy88utube Oh good good

[wattlf08]

Put some RainX on the waterproof lense it keeps off the drops. Cool though

[lewy88utube]

@wattlf08 Yeah thats a good idea!

[TheSchnubbibubbi]

really awesome view .the sky is so blue

[19dostry]

[TMYAMAHA714]

[jlc012]

[lewy88utube]

[lewy88utube]

@patounisski THis is the SD camera. The first GoPro model

[Squirttleturtle91]

i like at the end where it shows the girl in a bikini on a malibu :P

[HardjumperR]

sick footage!

just play some music in next time :)

[Burnd93]

Its a black hole 0.o

[moonomatic]

Two things:

1 You should try editing the footage so there is less of the underwater footage.

It makes the vids more enjoyable to watch.

2. What's with the black spot in the middle of the sun?

[nxp82]

The black spot in the middle of the sun is the moon! Everybody know that... :)

[moonomatic]

@nxp82 HAHA Just some casual wake-boarding during a solar eclipse.

[lewy88utube]

@moonomatic yeah good point, was a very rough edit! The black spot is unknown, it happens everythime the camera sees the sun!

[mw2ACEDclan]

what mount did you use?

[waterproofcat1]

@mw2ACEDclan I have the same question, I'd really like top know

[lewy88utube]

@waterproofcat1 i used the suction mount. But i also connected a wire form my boot to the camera housing, just in case it came off! pretty sure it would have come off if i crashed!

[TheSnowMiser111]

flip the camera around to face the direction your moving.. it'll make for a sweet POV

[ProBarefoot]

Malibu Response? ;)

[lewy88utube]

@ProBarefoot Yup! 

[lewy88utube]

@ProBarefoot yep its for sale if you are interested! - posted Sep 2011

[ProBarefoot]

@lewy88utube

no thanks, i have the same ;-)

[mcnastyman7]

@lewy88utube how did you mount it without falling off?

[lewy88utube]

mine is just the SD version. I would go for the one of the HD versions. The quality just isn't good enough on the sd version.

If you dont buy the surfing mount, you can use the suction mount. BUT you have to tether the camera to your boot cause i reckon it could come off if you were to crash.

[sccaxSnOwBoRdRxplaya]

which go pro do u have? cuz i want to buy one for wakeboarding but i dont want to spend all that money for the go pro surfing one. i was going to buy the go pro hero 170.

[DESMOSEDICI2012]

do u use the go pro surf expansion?

i am wondering how strong it has to be and how u fix it, cause i am a bit scared evertime that i lose it :D

[lewy88utube]

@DESMOSEDICI2012 Nah mate i used the suction mount. It didn't come off, but i didnt crash either. I also had a wire tether attached from the little metal rod inside the hinge of the camera housing to my wakeboot.

If i had have crashed, i think that the suction mount may have come off.

[amvasiliyev]

@lewy88utube man so how did u fix u gopro?

I just bought mine. fixed it on board between legs on the flatest place with surf expansion..

i do cabel and make tricks all the time so fall quite offen))

How do u fix it?

[lewy88utube]

@amvasiliyev i used the suction mount. I also had a very thin wire tether attached from the little metal rod inside the hinge of the camera housing to my wakeboot.

[MrAlloalloallo]

when you fell after a jump does it stay there or it can fell in the water?

[lewy88utube]

@MrAlloalloallo nah it's pretty good. I always tether it to my boot!

[Jazza159]

Awesome footage, needs some bg music

[Trelockful1]

Boring!!!!!

[lewy88utube]

@Trelockful1 haha neck up

[SoulKite]

what a wonderfull water color.....

[ar007d]

uh, both hands on the handle dude!

[sebakerckhof]

How did you attach it? with the standard sticker mounts?

[lewy88utube]

@sebakerckhof I used the GoPro suction mount. But i also tied the camera housing to my boot. I had troubles with the extension arms moving, i couldnt tighten them enough. They would move landing a wake jump.
