While I am reluctant to post youtube video here given the high standards set by the professionals, the crappy quality of an amateur vid still holds appeal . Like a Polaroid snapshot, there is something cool, to me, about the crappiness.

I have been trying to set the camera on the board but my low tech methods (mostly involving lots of grey tape) have failed. The head cam (my least favourite option) is a lot simpler.

Strangely I have dated the vid as November 2010, most of the time I am aware its still 2009.

Hi Al,

Great work mate. Keep the picks coming. The more you shoot the more you learn.
Just got one question for you though... what mast are you using with that sail ?

Powerex.

Might have landed that one a bit flat, the lack of spring westerlies has not been good for the fitness or skills.

You wouldn't get such an insight into mast dynamics in a professional vid. Good one Al. I like the soundtrack, nice bass line.
