Here's a clip of my session out at Butterbox (on Sydney's Northern Beaches) today. There were some solid five to six footers coming through with a very light cross/off-shore wind and only a couple of guys out.

Check out the action:

Nice one Cas. Keep em coming. I hope to get my first footage tomorrow arvo? I rigged up a mast base with a bolt through the tendon which screws into the camera.
Have you ever thought about turning the camera to face forwards?

Lets hope so, hey Champ?

Can't wait to see the result of yours, Greeny. Your setup looks great, nice and strong. Careful not to stub your toe on it!

I'm planning a forward facing session next - won't be until the weekend though - chained to my desk in the city all week.

Hey Cas I am uploading the footage I took today but Im not sure what to edit it with?
You mentioned Adobe?
Where can I get that? Is it easy to use?
Thanks...

Hey greenroom, he's probably talking about adobe premier which is great if you have a lazy $700 www.adobe.com/products/premiere.html

If you use windows, you could try an excellent free program called virtualdub: www.virtualdub.org/ or on mac just use imovie. Both work fine.

If your movie isn't in the right format to import into these programs you may have to transcode it.... Although you are using an Olympus 790 SW which should produce avi which should open fine in virtualdub and imovie.

When you've worked out how to edit the video - not that difficult - from the file menu in virtualdub select 'save as' and enter a filename - ie. myvideo.avi

After you have your edited video you have to upload it to youtube. It's always a bit of stuffing about the first time. If you get into trouble pm me. Not sure how to do it on a commodore 64.

I'm assuming you are using virtualdub be sure to RTFM. If you have trouble editing select 'help > contents > processing' and read the page on editing - will save you lots of time.

Hey Greeny, Oli was right, I use Adobe Premier. It's versitile but pretty complicated. I do that type of thing for a living so it's fine for me. Movie Maker comes with Windows and it's easy to use - I'd go for that. Good luck.

Hey Brooko, there were some six footers coming through - it's just that I was leaving those to the couple of local shortborders out there. Double overhead - the setoes - seriously.
