Topper Sailing in Hawaii 20-25kts

This is my first GoPro video I have made. I went out topper sailing outside Kahala beach on Oahu. It was about 20-25 kts with some small little waves by the reef.
I used two GoPro mounts, the bow mount was about a foot in front of the mast, and a tail mount about two feet above and two feet behind the rudder, made out of PVC pipes and ductape.

The song is "Livin' on the Edge" by Aerosmith in the album "Big Ones"

@dylantorquero Thanks, what type of mount did you use for the front shots, i googled bow mount on google couldn't find anything Im thinking of using surf mount. What would you recommend?

[dylantorquerol]

@ersalanni You can really use any of the small GoPro mounts. The surf mount works, but is 4x more expensive than the little black ones. I am actually using the "fake" one that the camera was mounted on in the box it came in. I ductaped it to the deck… :D all are good

hey, i am thinking of using my go pro on my topper soon and i really like the shot from behind. Could you do a video showing use how you did it? or a picture of it so I can have a go at it and try it myself :D

@ersalanni It is really quite simple. Get three 90 degree PVC joints, and about 7 feet of pipe. Connect 2x 2' pieces to a 90 degree joint so it makes a "V". Now, connect the remaining 2 90 degree joints to each end of the "V" Connect another 3' of pipe to each joint. It should look like a "V" with "arms." Drill 2 holes in the end of the "arms" and attach some line. Slide the arms under the traveller and tie the line you your hiking straps.

Mount your GoPro to the *upside down* V. Your done!

•The quality is not great because I didn't export the iMovie to full quality. GoPro's are full HD.

Great video, thanks for sharing. Here it's winter now, but this one makes me look forward to warmer weather, when I get my topper into the water, again.
