My wife and I have 3 young children who can still easily be manipulated when it comes to getting our presents. We get our children to buy exactly what we want whilst enabling them to believe it was totally their idea. We go to a shop and work out what we want and then let the shop keep know what we want and that 3 kids will be in latter with our other half and they have to convince the kids that this is what they should buy. Last year the shop keep had her work cut out as they wanted to buy me a 12" pink skateboard and not the 42" carve board I had worked out. Gauranteed sale for the shop so they happily play along with the kids. This year I am going to be so surprised when they give me a Go Pro Camera. Thanks Luke at Ocean Addicts for making it fun for my kids this year.

So what else are others getting this year under the tree.

Nice work with the presents plan. My wife and 3 kids "conveiniently" bought me the naish carbon/kevlar paddle & bag. Shape is a kind of giveaway under the tree
Oh, and in addition to Christmas our wedding anniversary is the 30th December. Jodie is getting a 9'5 Mana for our anniversary - I am the best husband ever - in my mind anyway

I've been bad this year, and ended up with a SB 9.1 pro.

Why have I been bad? I traded in my wife's SB 10.5 Drive to get it [}:)]

You can get a camera connection kit which will allow you to connect a SD card or USB camera cable straight into the iPad, but apparently only the lowest resolution goPro video setting will play on the iPad straight out of the camera.

Don't know about editing app, but would think capability would be very limited.

Think of you iPad as pimped up iPod but it's not a computer , so no you can't edit movies , you need to do all your post production work (editing ect) on your computer and then transfer it over to the iPad to watch.

Jacko that seems like best chance of getting something that will do what you explained to me yesterday. And for less than $5 for the app it would be worth a try, although the camera connection kit is what will set you back.

The more difficult thing will be getting the movie from your GoPro to the ipad without synching through a computer running iTunes. Looking at the Reel Director site they have said they can't get access to the camera connection kit, the app gets the movies from the Ipad photo library. I'm not sure if you can load videos via the camera connection kit to the photo library and then edit from there. You can't load them to the video library as Apple wont allow developers access to that library at this stage.

I had a blue 14ft Lahui Kai SUP Raceboard on order, but I think the deal has fallen through now.

I'd tell the wife Scotty. She'd never believe you weren't on the naughty list.
