GoPro HD Helmet HERO - Kitesurfing in the bay of St. Tropez. Part I

I got the chance to try my new GoPro HD Helmet HERO Cam for the first time on a weekend trip to the South of France. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and good wind conditions to go for a short kitesurfing session in the bay of St. Tropez. Using my old 9m2 North Rhino '07 kite. The quality of the video is amazing for such a small camera. This is my first youtube video. Please don't trash it ;-)

You are right, I was underpowered. After this video a changed kites to a 12m North Vegas and it was much better. I have a footage of this but I didn't upload it yet. This spot is really sweet. Kiteboarding is only allowed during low season. I don't know if Port Grimaud is open for kitesurfing. Cavalaire and Gigaro are, but only when there's no crowd.
