Here in Hilo, Hawaii, we don't have the greatest downwind conditions. When the wind blows, ocean swells get big and disorganized. Sometimes, I paddle into the wind just for a chance at catching some light downwind. The winds were fairly light today, but outside the wall was choppy and I decided to rig up the GoPro, mounted on the tail of an SIC Bullet, and take it for an afternoon session. I really do love paddling into the wind!

Nice clip. I have the GoPro too. Awesome camera. You're having "A" ball? Well, I hope you had 3 at that point ;D
-
Nice. Looks like you lovin that Bullet.

Nice save on the beach ball! You're a good man!
Good pull on the music too, Sandman is in my workout playlist, 120 bpm!
-
Foilman, yup, that would be correct ;D!
SUP NINJA, I love this board, even in less than ideal conditions!
AP, it's the second beach ball I've saved. We were all a kid once and had something lost, whether it was the wind or a thief. The kids were cheering and kept saying "thank you" while mom took my picture, it was a great way to start my session. BTW, Metallica always gets me pumped!

When you put the ball between your feet I thought you were gonna start some Danny Ching workout! :D

Haha! Maybe if I had my front camera setup! Had 2 cameras on today's run, but I didn't find any beach balls..I'll post a video tonight. Takes about 6 hours to convert, edit, save, and upload 10 minutes so thanks for appreciating it, even if it was the beach ball that caught your attention ;)

Aw, everyone else is gushing about your mad skills, don't want to over do it! ;)
Solid strokes BTW!

No question, Bullets rock. You need to come over for some Malikos next winter.

AP, thanks for the props..I cut out all the bad parts j/k :D I try to paddle 5 days a week and sometimes do double sessions on the weekend, it's all about the STOKE!
PonoB, I was just thinking that after watching Bill B's videos! So jealous! I don't want to sound like a cry baby, but geesh, 90% of my session is paddling...GIVE ME SOME GLIDE!! Haha! Bullets do rock though! I'll post a second video, more sloppy waters, but it's what I got, and I still love it!
