Hi guys,

I recently lost my GoPro while on a linemount, but not due to tangle. The kite was munched by a wave and ripped the lines off the kite, lost the bar, etc - long story. This was not because the Linemount but the camera was on it.

I have been concerned about getting the lines, front and back, tanled up on the line mount and casing the kite to loop - as it has happened a few times. Noting major but still a concern.

I've been thinking on how to create somekind of casing around the camera and arms of the linemount but haven't got qjuite stuck into it yet. I came across this as I was looking for a replacement linemount..

Have a look and comment.. i hope I know how to post this

Some kiters are smarter than others - not me by the way...

Hmm is that enough foam for the gopro to float? (sorry at work so I can't listen to the sound)

Can someone just sell me one of those as a kit, I have no desire to build one but really appreciate the ingenuity of the person that does!!!!
