Alcatraz Swim - San Francisco (GoPro Footage) [HD]
Loading...
Uploaded by BenjaminAD on Oct 24, 2011
This was an Exhibition swim from Alcatraz Island to the San Francisco Bay on 10.22.11. The total swim is about 1.5 miles. The first person footage was shot with a GoPro camera.
This was our first open water swim in the Bay Area. Pretty cold, but not too bad with a wetsuit on. The worst part was getting over the fact that we probably didn't have a high likelihood of getting attacked by a great white shark...

Love this video, very well shot! Where did you buy the straps to secure the Go Pro to your back? Was in comfortable to swim with? Thanks.

@cahnnelswimmer thank you! My buddy (also in the vid) bought the straps. Not sure where. I do know they originally were for the chest made for a frontal face shot, but we just turned them to the back. They were slightly uncomfortable, but not unbearable. And the combo was light/small enough to not negatively affect swimming ability too badly.
