That is a neet shot. Great idea. Who is the silly girl in the boat that is not even watching you? I dont think I saw her look back once.

The camera is a GoPro Hero helmet camera, I use it scuba diving and snowboarding, works great. it also works good mounted on the transom handrail facing the surfer.

I live just outside Louisville, we spend almost every weekend on Lake Cumberland.

The chick in the boat went along on the ride to chat with my wife who was driving. The video is about 20 minutes into my ride, she obviously got bored watching.

That GoPro cam is nice. Over on a snowmobiling forum I frequent those are used a lot for powder riding vids, etc. I just haven't brought myself to purchasing one yet... but soon!

Just checked out the GoPro Cams...Def. putting one on order, do they all have a waterproof casing or is it just with the SURF Hero?

Put that cam on and wakeboard, a good fall would look awesome.

I think they all have a waterproof case, I just have the standard one with the wide angle lens.

It does go under water and take good pics. What kind of camera is it? Sweet shots.

Thanks again for posting this - really adds a lot to our forum. We love pics and vids, right guys?

Lets see you pump some waves! Also, how much weight in boat?

I have some longer vids with more action but it can get a little boring watching the same thing over and over. I'll work on some wakeboard vids next time out, headed to Nolin Lake on the 24th.

There is a 750lb sack in the port side full along with a small 150lb sack on top of it and the middle 1100lb 1/2 full, along with the 2 ladies in the boat. The wave is very long with a nice curl but one more person really helps the height.

The speed has to be 12, if its 11.5 it gets washed out. Is that normal? Seemed fast at first.

[87SunSportMikeyD]

That is exactly the speed I have been running. 12 on the dot most of the time.

I just can get over the great quality of those videos the GoPro cams take! Knee cam was an excellent video! thanks for sharing

[ngavchris]

That is really cool..... I do alot of camera installs and that really is impressive of the quality that your getting out of that cam.. That 1st video had awesome color as well as clarity.
AMAZING... And the sound even makes it better.
Good job.
