Picture qual looks really good so your export settings must be pretty spot on. To me the video looks choppy though, not sure if this is a function of your attempts to salvage it or something imovie has done? Looks like it was a nice day up there.
Edit: forget the choppy bit, just watched it on my other computer and it's fine, laptop must be having spasms
nice vid
Good to see i dont look too fat when you were chasing me :)

its interesting being able to see your sail shape and stance from a chase cam - gives you a bit more perspecive on how sail is rigged that you cant see when you are holding onto it.

I agree Craig - was trying to get in his video so I could check my sail, stance etc.
Next time Karl, make sure you follow me close up!
Thanks to Karl for letting me have blast with the Go Pro.
Even bigger thanks for editing it for me. You're a champion mate!
Nice Video Karl!!
Those were the days... when we used to get wind!! :(
I agree Roar... it is the first time I have seen any close up of my gear and stance while powered up. I am the orange JP FSW with the blue Hellcat that makes a cameo in the second half.
Thanks for doing that Karl.

I was all excited to see some extra Tabou Rockets..then I realised it was the same one..I think I'm the only one up here at lake Macquarie..
I have borrowed Karl's Tabou Rocket 105L a couple of times when he has been on his bigger board, but not enough wind for my JP FSW 92L. It is a great board. I was having a great time on it in 13-18 knots with my 6.2. It is fast (got just over 30knots on my GPS) and gybes really nicely. I rate it highly and wish I had it in my quiver!!
Cheers,
Adrian
Yeah the 105 Rocket a nice little board. I'll have to try it with a 6.6m next time the wind justifies it as it should be sweet. I still like my bigger one though as its so smooth and comfortable.
My dream sail is a sunny day of 15 knot winds all day with the Rocket 140 and a 7.4m sail.
Last week there were quite a large number of Tabou Rockets at Kyeemagh. It gets a bit confusing as they all look quite similar to each other.
I'd definately be on the 105/6.6 in 15knots. Give me the 140/7.4 in the 12-14knot range... but I am a bit old school who learned to windsurf when the biggest common sail was about 6.5m... 7m was considered huge!!. For many years I sailed with just a 6m and a 110L slalom board.... and you can make it work from 10-12knots up to 25knots!! :)
You have to work it onto the plain with the smaller gear, but with technique you can keep it there easily and have a faster more exciting ride in the process!! 12-14 is a bit challenging on the FSW 92 with a 6.2 though!! :(
Cheers,
Adrian
Here is another Kyeemagh windsurfing video.
Its not too exciting but there is a great technical innovation. The camera no longer gets protuding parts of the windsurfers face in the shot. That took a bit of mucking around with a mount on the side of the camera.
Another good vid Karl, particularly as I got in it
For non-Sydney people, last Saturday was a 12-18kt N/E seabreeze
so we all had a pretty cruisy sail (except Mike who did his usual 120km )
The run (reach) from the beach to the end of the runway is about 1.2Nm.
Top spot with lots of chats on the beach in between sessions
Another great vid Karl - it was a fantastic day! Where did you find that music?
Pete - you're a star!
