Been there....done that 
Tiny waves at town beach this morning
Hardly anyone else wanted them....but they were about the only available surf option
Only a couple of other sups out.......and towball on his longboard
did try out my new helmet mount.....seemed to work good so will have to give it a try one day when there is a bit of size and excitement
"The Knee Boarder" was there.....he has this theory that there is no surf in gisborne at the moment because it has all been stolen by stand up paddle boarders ha ha
Probably the first guys in the world surfing today!! Legendary. Great start to a New Year! 
Thanks for the vid. Happy New Year!!!! MMMMMalia

Any way I consoled myself by watching this "All-Women" surf vid
Me too!!
-thanks.
Go Grizzie.... way to start it off on the right foot!
Got in a few hours a dawn myself today.... after a nice OH session yesterday, in the last daylight hours of 2015
Thanks for the kind words.....I should have called the video "old try hards who get up really early"
nah.....its a tiny camera with a bit of plastic around it. Is supposed to be waterproof without the plastic
The plastic is the "Dive Case" good for down to 30 metres or so......think without the dive case its good for something like 3 metres.
But overkill is good in the camera safety department
Have drowned two Hero basic go pros......plus a silver
I feel much more at ease with the XD Replay Prime X dive case
Drowning 3 go pros is quite the feat. I found that pulling apart the case an buttons, cleaning and putting it back together with silicon grease on all the seals and button pins helps by not just keeping the water out, but by keeping out that little bit of water that can fog the lense too.
if I ever buy another go pro will definitely use a cable tie to make sure the "opening catch" stays closed.....think they tend to open when you would rather they didn't
......and Potatoes tell me what we are talking about here? Sliced potatoes? Grated potatoes? Hot potatoes?
